The Ertlgasse located on the 1st Viennese district , the Inner City . It was named in 1894 after Maria Anna von Ertl (1728–1801), who founded the Maria Anna von Ertl'sche Foundation for aspiring lawyers.

history

Gun frieze (1st century), probably from the east gate of the Roman legionary camp

The area of ​​today's Ertlgasse was on the area that had belonged to the Vindobona legionary camp in Roman times - the historical core of the city. Archaeological finds show that the east gate ( porta principalis dextra ) with two passageways stood at today's house at Ertlgasse 3 . This is also where the approx. 13 m wide via principalis , the main camp street oriented from west to east, ended. From here one got to the suburb of the camp ( canabae legionis ) and then across the Vienna River to the Roman civilian settlement.

In the Middle Ages, today's Ertlgasse only extended from Rotenturmstrasse to Kramergasse and was initially nameless. The name Hutstoppergässel has been used since 1710 , referring to the profession of hattopers who repaired hats. In 1827 the short, square-like street section was added to Kramergasse. It was not until 1844 that a narrow passage between Kramergasse and the farmers' market was created between the parcels Kramergasse 9 and 11 , which was named Mariengasse . He also referred to Maria Anna von Ertl, who had set up her foundation in 1801. For this purpose she had the Ertl'sche Stiftungshaus (now Ertlgasse 2) built, the rental income from which was used to promote talented but penniless trainee lawyers.

In 1862, Mariengasse was expanded to include the former Hutstopper gorge. The street has been called Ertlgasse since 1894 . Maria Anna von Ertl was a native Irishwoman (O'Malley) and the widow of the rector of the Vienna University, Johann Nepomuk von Ertl. The foundation she set up still exists today.

Ertlgasse as seen from Rotenturmstrasse

Location and characteristics

The short lane runs from Rotenturmstrasse in a north-westerly direction to the farmers' market. It consists of two clearly recognizable sections that reflect the historical development. The first, older section stretches from Rotenturmstraße to Kramergasse and has a broad, square-like character. The second, younger section between Kramergasse and Bauernmarkt, on the other hand, forms a narrow passage between two houses.

The entire Ertlgasse is a pedestrian zone . There are several shops, a restaurant and a gallery on it - in accordance with the location in the city center in a high price range. The square-like junction from Rotenturmstrasse, which is characterized by very heavy pedestrian traffic, also leads many pedestrians, mostly tourists, into Ertlgasse.

The buildings on Ertlgasse were all designed in the historicist style.

building

Ertlgasse 1 (1895)

No. 1: residential and commercial building

The building between Rotenturmstraße, Ertlgasse and Kramergasse is free on three sides and was erected in 1895 by Ludwig Richter in neo-baroque form. In 1963, Franz Klimscha changed the base zone on Rotenturmstrasse by creating a pedestrian passage that connects to the neighboring building. The house is at the main address Rotenturmstrasse 11.

Ertlgasse 2 (1914)

No. 2: Ertl'sches Stiftungshaus

Originally there were two houses here, which came into the possession of Johann Nikolaus back tree around 1700. In 1746, Franz Anton Ertl combined the buildings into one. Maria Anna von Ertl founded the Maria Anna von Ertl'sche Foundation in 1801 and ordered the surrounding meat shops and houses to be torn down and a foundation house to be built instead. The first house donated by Maria Anna von Ertl was completed in 1817 and replaced by a new building from 1838–1839 by Joseph Kornhäusel . The Bar Association has been located in this building since 1853 . In 1913 the present house was built by Ludwig Baumann in neoclassical form and in 1939 the base zone was changed by Hubert Gessner .

The completely detached building is located between Ertlgasse, Rotenturmstraße, Lichtensteg and Kramergasse. It has beveled corners; the base consists of pillars clad with stone slabs and a steel and glass construction. The facades are divided into pilaster strips and show decorative, sometimes figural relief fields. Strong cordon cornices cover all four sides. On the main facade in Ertlgasse there is a gabled central projection , the window parapets of which have wrought iron grilles. In the marble-clad staircase you can see original wrought-iron railings and elevator grilles, marble floors, door frames made of stucco marble, doors with inlaid leaves and hammered brass door signs, all from the construction period.

Ertlgasse 3 and 4 (1842)

No. 3: rental house

The three-sided detached tenement house between Kramergasse, Ertlgasse and farmers' market was built in 1842 by Josef Kastan in the late classicist style. In 1914, Rudolf Erdös built a store in the base zone. The house is at the main address Kramergasse 9.

No. 4: corner house

The three-sided detached house between Kramergasse, Ertlgasse and farmers' market was built in 1842 by Franz Ram in an early historic style. The façade of the five-storey building has cast stone blocks and additively lined up windows with straight roofs, as well as a strong console cornice. The portal in Ertlgasse is pilaster-framed and made of wood. In the oval foyer you can see porch doors with stained glass panes and original fittings. The spiral staircase is crowned by a glass dome, the railing and handrail are from the construction period, as are the apartment and corridor doors. The pawlats in the atrium are glazed. In the exit to the two-storey cellar with barrel and half-barrel vaults, there is a giant cuboid that probably dates from Roman times. A well shaft has also been preserved.
