The Döblinger main street is in the 19th Vienna district Döbling . It is one of the main thoroughfares in the district.

history

Döblinger Hauptstrasse follows the course of a Roman Limesstrasse, with a Slavic settlement in the area between Hofzeile and Wertheimsteinpark, which was mentioned in documents as Teopilic or Toplice in 1114. The street originally called "Auf der Osterleiten" was only built up to Hardtgasse until the beginning of the 19th century, although the street name had changed to Hofzeile around 1800. As a result, the street name changed to Hauptgasse and later to Hauptstrasse. After the suburbs Oberdöbling and Unterdöbling and other suburbs and the formation of the Döbling district, the street was renamed “Döblinger Hauptstraße” in 1894. This was necessary because the incorporation of dozens of suburbs had brought various main roads to Vienna.

Location and characteristics

Train of tram line 37 in Döblinger Hauptstraße (1980)

The Döblinger Hauptstraße forms the extension of the Nußdorfer Straße from the crossing of the Döblinger Gürtels. From the Döblinger Gürtel, the border between the 9th and 19th districts, Döblinger Hauptstraße runs in a north-northwest direction and bends north-northeast shortly after the confluence with Billrothstraße. The street then runs straight to Pokornygasse and then runs essentially in a northerly direction to the intersection with Ruthgasse or Barawitzkagasse. From here the Hohe Warte forms the continuation of the Döblinger Hauptstraße.

Döblinger Hauptstraße is mixed and built with different numbers of storeys, with mainly post-historical and secessionist apartment buildings from around 1900 to 1910. However, these lines are interspersed with strictly and late historical buildings, whereby one can also find buildings from the Josephine, Biedermeier and early historical periods that mostly protrude from the building line and are lower in design.

The tram line 37 runs along the entire length of Döblinger Hauptstraße from the Schottentor station to Hohen Warte. The tram line 38 and the bus line 35A also run over the short distance from the junction with Billrothstraße to the Döblinger Gürtel of Döblinger Hauptstraße. Shortly before the end of Döblinger Hauptstraße, the street also crosses the suburban line (S45), in this area was the Unter-Döbling stop of the former Vienna steam light rail , which was closed in 1932 .

No. 1 Arthur Schnitzler Hof

Arthur Schnitzler Hof

The council Arthur Schnitzler-Hof was from 1959 to 1960 by the architect Michel Engelhart and Alois Machatschek erected, including 47 apartments. Originally the property of the residential complex belonged to the Jewish cemetery in Währing , but after the expropriation of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien by the National Socialists in 1942 it became the property of the City of Vienna. In the 1950s, the community had to cede the part of the cemetery that had been destroyed by excavation work to the City of Vienna, which then built the 13-story Arthur Schnitzler-Hof, the highest residential complex to date. The structure consists of two parts of the building that are shifted in height and position and connected by a common staircase.

In the northern part of the building there was a guest room from 1927, while the former coffee house is located to the south.
