The Cobdengasse located on the 1st Viennese district of Inner City . It was named in 1865 after the liberal English politician Richard Cobden , who at the time was very committed to international free trade.
history
In the Middle Ages, the area of today's Cobdengasse belonged to the suburb in front of the Stubentor . The Viennese city wall was renewed around 1561 , so that the Dominican Bastion and the Brown Bastion with an intervening curtain wall were built. Outside this curtain wall a new trench was dug, which reached over the area of today's Cobdengasse. Before that, the Stubenschanze existed between 1672 and 1809. After the curtain wall was demolished in 1862, the ditch was leveled and Cobdengasse was opened in 1865.
Location and characteristics
Cobdengasse runs parallel to Parkring from Zedlitzgasse in a south-westerly direction to Liebenberggasse. In terms of traffic, it has no special features, ie there is no public transport nor there is a bicycle facility. The alley can be used in both directions. The number of pedestrians is moderate; there are no shops here and only one restaurant on the corner of Liebenberggasse.
The building consists on the left of the backs of the historical Ringstrasse palace, on the right of a modern office building and a substation , and therefore gives a heterogeneous impression.

→ see also main article Palais Archduke Wilhelm
The Palais Erzherzog Wilhelm or Hoch- und Deutschmeister-Palais was built by Theophil von Hansen in 1864–1867 . It is one of the earliest, but also one of the most important and best preserved palaces in the ring road zone. It also plays a prominent role in Hansen's work and is an important building from the era of early historicism. It was built for Archduke Wilhelm , Grand Master of the Teutonic Order . In 1870 it was sold to the Teutonic Order and was the seat of the respective Grand Master. In 1938 it came to the municipality of Vienna and served as the seat of the Vienna Federal Police Directorate from 1945 to 1974 . It has since been owned by OPEC and has been extensively renovated. The facade of the staff wing is on Cobdengasse, the main facade is on Parkring. The building is a listed building and has the main address Parkring 8.
No. 4: Zedlitzhalle substation
The first Viennese detailed market hall , which opened on August 1, 1871, was located on the site of the substation and the neighboring official building . It was a municipal market hall that last housed the fish market. In 1902 the northern part, about a third of the market hall, was converted into an exhibition hall and served the Hagenbund . The exhibition building, named Zedlitzhalle by the entrance on Zedlitzgasse 6 , was architecturally designed by Joseph Urban and had a relief by the sculptor Wilhelm Hejda above the entrance . In 1912 the city administration terminated the lease with the Hagenbund. During the First World War , the empty market hall served as a central potato warehouse for the inner districts of Vienna. In 1920 the hall, renovated by the city administration, was again rented to the Hagenbund, which opened its 36th exhibition there on June 22nd of that year. In 1938 it was renamed the Wiener Kunsthalle , which was to establish itself as the third art venue after the Künstlerhaus and the Secession . The building was badly damaged by bombs in the autumn of 1944, but it was rebuilt so that the first exhibition after the war was shown in 1948. In 1961 the community of visual artists had to leave the hall (demolished in 1965).
In the southern half of the market and exhibition hall area, Franz Zajicek (1912–2006) built a transformer station from 1969 to 1970 with a travertine facade and aluminum panels . The northern half of the square (former Zedlitzhalle) was built with an office building adjoining the substation.
No. 5: House
The building, which is free standing on three sides between Parkring, Liebenberggasse and Cobdengasse, was built in 1864 by Johann Romano and August Schwendenwein in the form of the Viennese neo-Renaissance style. It is a listed building and is located at Liebenberggasse 7, the main address.

Remarks
- ↑ The mostly published year of construction 1874 could be based on the fact that the hall, elegantly executed in iron and glass (with seven entrances), was perceived as unfinished from the start (drafty, poorly heatable, no blinds, etc.) and due to the necessary repairs 1874 prevailed as the year of completion. - See, among other things: Daily news.
