geography
Georgenberg is located in the Mauer part of the district at the transition from the built-up area to the Vienna Woods . In the west the Antonshöhe and the Wilde Berg adjoin the forest , in the east it merges into the Sauberg . The northern slope of the Georgenberg, which slopes down towards Maurer Langen Gasse and is built on with residential buildings, bears the field name Schafleiten .
The Georgenberg contributes to the geological stage of the Sarmatian in the north and east , in the south in the Badenium and in the west in the Frankenfels blanket of the Northern Limestone Alps .
history
In 1938 the air news troop barracks were built on the Georgenberg , which was demolished in 1949, leaving a ruined area where the armed forces held exercises. 1974–1976 the Wotrubakirche was built , a building made of concrete blocks based on designs by the sculptor Fritz Wotruba . The Sterngarten , an open-air planetarium, has been located on the Georgenberg since 1997 .
The through traffic to Kalksburg on the Kalksburger Strasse crossing the Georgenberg has been prevented for a long time by blocking the road to car traffic southwest of Anton-Krieger-Gasse; the entrance to the Wotruba Church, on the other hand, has been developed in such a way that it can also be mastered by tourist buses. The street in front of the church was named after its initiator, Margarethe Ottilinger , Ottillingerplatz (alternative spelling) in 2012 .
