The Fichtegasse located on the 1st Viennese district , the Inner City . It was named in 1865 after the philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte . Together with Schellinggasse , Hegelgasse and Kantgasse , it forms a zone of the inner city, the streets of which are dedicated to the great German philosophers and in which several schools are located.
history
Where Fichtegasse runs today, there were fortifications that were supposed to protect the city of Vienna from enemies. These were to ditch the curtain wall and the 1560 built curtain wall between Braunbastei and water art bastion . These were demolished in 1862–1863 to replace them with the ring road and ring road zone with representative buildings. In this context, the Fichtegasse was opened and named in 1865. At that time it reached to Lothringerstraße. In 1904 the Beethovenplatz was created between Kantgasse and Lothringerstrasse ; Since then, Fichtegasse has ended at Beethovenplatz at Kantgasse.
Location and characteristics
The Fichtegasse runs from the Seilerstätte in a south-easterly direction to Beethovenplatz. However, it is not continuously passable, but is interrupted between Schellinggasse and Hegelgasse by a pedestrian zone and at Schubertring, where a continuous footpath and cycle path prevents entry into the ring road from the west. The sections between Seilerstätte and Schellinggasse and between Hegelgasse and the side lane of the Schubertring are run as one-way streets . Cyclists can also drive against the one-way between Schubertring and Hegelgasse and use the adjacent pedestrian zone. This will connect the schools located there to the cycle path network and the circular cycle path. Car traffic in Fichtegasse will be restricted to pure neighbors by these measures. The section of the street outside the city leads directly to the exit of an underground car park located under Beethovenplatz. There is no public transport in Fichtegasse.
The buildings along Fichtegasse form a completely preserved historical ensemble, some of which are listed . Two large school buildings on both sides of Fichtegasse between Schellinggasse and Hegelgasse are dominant. The pedestrian zone in between is equipped with trees and modern seating and has an almost space-like character. In the other buildings on the street there are restaurants, businesses, shops and galleries. In addition to numerous offices and offices on Fichtegasse, the embassy of Portugal and the diplomatic representation of the Republika Srpska in Austria are also located here. In the section outside the city beyond the Ringstrasse there is a large hotel, the headquarters of the ÖAMTC and an official building of the Vienna Labor Inspectorate .
