Frauenfeld (Vienna)
Frauenfeld (also: Women fields ) is the name of a former hall on the area of today's district part Dornbach 17th Viennese municipal district Hernals .
Name and location
The name refers to a plain between Schafberg and Gallitzinberg , which gained historical importance in 1683 as the site of a decisive battle against the Ottomans in the course of the second Turkish siege of Vienna . According to tradition, the first part of the name could refer to the Virgin Mary , to whom the victory was ascribed, or to a nunnery in Dornbach. The Frauenfelderstraße and also once the Frauenfeld place that in 1954 Dr. Josef Resch Square was renamed, remember the old place names. On the west side of the rectory of the Atonement Church on the square, a sgraffito has been used to commemorate the victory on the Als since 1962 .
residential area
In the area around the former Frauenfeld, an urban residential area was created around 1900 after a spodium factory was relocated and the former Hernalser-Dornbach border area was connected to the Vienna Stadtbahn network (1898). At the intersection of the suburban line and the tram, an important suburban traffic center (see also Bahnhofsplatz Hernals ) was built in the Frauenfeld area, while the former Frauenfelderplatz (Dr.-Josef-Resch-Platz) shared with school, church, park and sports field, the Hernalser Hauptstraße took over economic functions.
The area differs from the other parts of Dornbach in its dense development with four- to six-storey apartment buildings and communal buildings from the first third of the 20th century, which have no inner-city density and are instead characterized by loosened development and remnants of village structures. Remnants of the historical industry on the outskirts have survived in the Frauenfeld area, especially around the congress square .
On the area of the 10-hectare area between Vorortelinie , Alszeile , Hernalser Hauptstraße and Wiener Sportclub-Platz , which was urbanized in the last century and which is a relatively self-contained residential area around Frauenfelderstraße and the former Frauenfelderplatz and is identical to the Hernalser counting district 032 , live 2,343 residents (as of 2001).
