Wienerberg recreation area
The Wienerberg recreation area in Vienna is a large green area on a former brick factory on the southern slope of the Wienerberg . It is located in the south of the city, in the 10th district ( Favoriten ), between Triester Straße in the west, Raxstraße in the north, Neilreichgasse in the east and Otto-Probst-Straße and Friedrich-Adler-Weg in the south.
It is one of the areas acquired by the city administration after decades of efforts in 1955, which should enable the belt of forests and meadows to be expanded to the south and east. In 1967 the municipality of Vienna acquired the 120 hectare site that was last used as a landfill; 1983–1995 it was converted into a recreational area.
At the end of the 1980s, the Wienerberg recreation area was made accessible as a natural forest, meadow and pond landscape. The near-natural design by Municipal Department 49 , the City of Vienna's Forestry Office, stands in marked contrast to the elaborate horticultural design that the Oberlaa Kurpark , created for the 1974 International Garden Show ( WIG 74 ) , also on a southern slope of the 10th district in the south of the city , indicates. A survey study that was awarded the Rudolf Wurzer Prize found a high level of visitor satisfaction. The strong construction activity in the area has led to a loss of space in the recreation area since 1990, but on the other hand the number of residents within a five-minute walk has doubled since 1948.
