The Burggasse is a street in the 7th district of Vienna construction . It crosses the district in its entire length from the double line to the belt .
history
Although one of the oldest streets in the district, Burggasse ended at Kaiserstraße until 1885 and only connected the former suburbs of Spittelberg , St. Ulrich , Neubau and Schottenfeld . Only with the demolition of the line wall was a continuation to the belt created. There was also no common name. Based on geographic points of reference or house names, the lower part of the street was called Weg nach Ortisei (before 1683), later Am Zeisselbühel after the house Zum Großes Zeisig (No. 2). Between Stiftgasse and Kirchengasse the name was Am Bergel or Am Anger , outside of Kirchengasse Auf der Wendelstatt . In 1771 the name was Burggasse on Spittelberg , whereas in Ortisei Entengasse (after the house Zur golden Ente, no. 18), between Kirchengasse and Neubaugasse Wendlgasse , on the new building Langekellergasse (after house no. 69, formerly "Langer Keller") and at Schottenfeld Rittergasse (after house “Zwei goldene Ritter”, No. 83). It was not until 1862 that the uniform name Burggasse (based on the orientation towards the Hofburg ) was established.
From 1891 the tram ran through Burggasse, since September 1901 in electrical operation.
description
Burggasse begins at Museumsplatz or Museumstrasse between the Messepalast ( Museum Quarter ) and the Volkstheater . It initially runs in a west-south-west direction up to Breite Gasse and then swings in a wide arc in a westerly direction. From St.-Ulrichs-Platz on its northern edge, it practically leads straight to the western district border on the Neubaugürtel or Lerchenfelder Gürtel . The consistently closed building comes mainly from the historicist era , but also includes town houses from the 18th and first half of the 19th century. It crosses the districts of Spittelberg , St. Ulrich , Neubau and Schottenfeld one after the other .
There are only a few green spaces. At the beginning, on the left is the facility in front of the Museum Quarter and on the right a small green area next to the Volkstheater with monuments to Rudolf Beer and Hansi Niese . Further out of town, the otherwise evenly wide street widens between St.-Ulrichs-Platz and Stuckgasse. The field elm in the green space created here is a Viennese natural monument. The Karl Farkas Park is laid out on the undeveloped parcel of Burggasse 78–80. Finally, there are individual plantings between Kaiserstraße and Gürtel.
traffic
Burggasse is an important approach to the city center from the west of Vienna (via Flötzersteig and Gablenzgasse ); she has been a main A classified. The entire length of it is a one-way route from the Gürtel towards the city center. A bus lane has been created for bus traffic , which can also be used by taxis, cyclists and commercial transporters for the disabled. Only one additional lane is available for motorized individual traffic.
Since the end of the tram outside of Breite Gasse in November 1968, the Burggasse has been used by bus line 48A in the direction of the Ring / Volkstheater (in the opposite direction, the line runs through Neustiftgasse ). Tram line 49 only runs from Breite Gasse to Museumstraße.Cross connections are provided by bus line 13A through Kirchengasse in the direction of Alser Straße or through Neubaugasse in the direction of the main train station (this connection is however interrupted from February 2020 to autumn 2020 due to renovation work in Neubaugasse) as well as the tram line 5 in the Kaiserstraße. Access to the underground is at the Volkstheater and Burggasse-Stadthalle stations .
