At the foot of the Wienerberg, Davidgasse connects the major arterial and long-distance roads of the 10th district in Vienna with its east-west course. Starting from Reumannplatz , it crosses Laxenburger Straße and finally ends at Triester Straße . In its course are the Arthaberplatz and Park, where it is interrupted, as well as Belgradeplatz with the Barankapark-Hellerwiese. There are around 100 house numbers on Davidgasse. The bus line 7A Wiener Linien runs over large stretches of Davidgasse and has several stops here. A short distance to the east there are also bus routes 65A and 66A. Almost the entire Davidgasse, from Reumannplatz to Gussriegelstrasse , is a one-way street .

history

On July 13, 1875, Davidgasse was named by the municipality of Inzersdorf after the magistrate's accountant Johann David, who was born around 1795 in Silesia and died on December 13, 1869 in Vienna. In this area, the so-called Ried Obergeiselsberg, he owned large properties, which he parceled out on March 28, 1862 and made available to the general public for the creation of Laxenburger Strasse and Simmeringer Weg. On July 5, 1894, Rittingergasse was incorporated into Davidgasse.

Between Reumannplatz and Laxenburger Straße, Davidgasse was densely built up with apartment buildings until the beginning of the 20th century, while the longer section between Laxenburger Straße and Triester Straße remained largely free and was then populated with individual factory buildings. Only since the 1950s has the street been continuously built with residential houses.

The Abadie company was founded in Paris in 1783 and produced the first cigarette paper there. Since 1910 there was a branch in Vienna as well as in Prague. Before the First World War, around 1,000 workers were employed here. The Abadie company had been a joint stock company since 1923 and enjoyed great popularity during the First Republic because colorful picture cards were attached to its products. In 1938 Abadie was "Aryanized" and in 1955 came into the possession of Hans Behr, who merged the company with the competitor Altesse as Altesse Hans Behr & Co., before it was finally taken over in 1972 by Austria Tabakwerke .
