The Gersthoferstraße is a traffic area in the 18th Viennese district of Währing .
history
The Gerstlerhof , from which the name of the suburb and today's district Gersthof is derived, was first mentioned in 1497 in a deed of purchase. At that time the place was a street village that stretched between Erndtgasse and Scheibenbergstraße. Due to its location in the valley of the Währingerbach, there was a path to Vienna in the area of today's street, which continued through Gentzgasse and Währinger Straße . The name was simply on Hauptstrasse .
At the beginning of the 19th century, the street from Gentzgasse towards Pötzleinsdorf existed as an avenue.
From November 1901 a horse-drawn tram ran through Gersthofer Straße to Pötzleinsdorf, which was already operated electrically from January 1902.
The suburb line was opened in 1898 and received the Wien Gersthof stop at Gentzgasse . Then today's Lidlgasse and its continuation along the suburb line to Gentzgasse was built as a connection from the 17th district of Hernals to Gersthof. While the street from Gentzgasse had already been given the name Gersthofer Strasse by a local council resolution of July 18, 1894 , the extension towards Hernals was initially named Tetmajergasse (after Ludwig von Tetmajer ) on August 26, 1909 . On March 7, 1912, the name Gersthofer Straße was extended to this part as well.
description
Location, course, characteristics
Following the numbering, Gersthofer Strasse begins at the intersection with Lidlgasse, Lazargasse and Schöffelgasse and circles the Neu-Gersthof settlement area in a wide arc until it reaches the old town center of Gersthof and merges into Pötzleinsdorfer Strasse at the intersection with Scheibenbergstrasse. It rotates from an east to north-westerly direction.
In the first part up to Gentzgasse the street runs next to the route of the suburb line; therefore only the left side of the street (uneven house numbers) is built continuously, mostly with villa-like smaller houses from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. To the right of the road, the terrain descends to the railway line, which here still runs in a cut; There is only one petrol station on the street before the intersection with Kreuzgasse and Czartoryskigasse and a single business property at the intersection. From the intersection, the road drops to Währinger Straße, while the railway line rises and now runs in an elevated position. Between Währinger Strasse and Gentzgasse, the street has already completed a 90-degree arc and runs approximately northwards. The Gersthof S-Bahn station is to the right of the street and in front of it (as well as the back of the reception building facing Simonygasse) the small Gersthofer Markt . This area is known locally as Gersthofer Platzl .
From Gentzgasse, the suburb line swings away from Gersthofer Straße to the northeast. From here the road is lined (with interruptions) by avenue trees; The tram runs from Gentzgasse. The closed building on both sides with predominantly three to four storey houses comes mostly from the time of Viennese historicism , partly with elements of the Secession style , also interrupted by modern buildings.
After the Türkenschanzplatz, the course of the road swings in a north-westerly direction. Now there are also more and more remnants of the earlier suburban development from the Biedermeier and Baroque periods , especially in the area of the old town center between Erndtgasse and Scheibenbergstraße around the old parish church (Johannes-Nepomuk-Kapelle) and at the end of the street (Maria-Theresien-Schlössel).
traffic
In the section between Lidlgasse and Türkenschanzplatz, Gersthofer Strasse is part of an important traffic connection from the western districts (via Johnstrasse, Possingergasse, Wattgasse and Lidlgasse) to the 19th district of Döbling and further over the Heiligenstädter Bridge on the one hand to Floridsdorf and on the other to the north via Donaukanal Strasse , North bridge and Danube bank A22 motorway . In this section it is part of Wiener Vororte Straße (until 1993: B222). The volume of traffic in individual motorized traffic is correspondingly high here . In longer sections there are two lanes in each direction of travel, one of them between Kreuzgasse and Gentzgasse as a bus lane , which can also be used by taxis. The road between Lidlgasse and Kreuzgasse / Czartoryskigasse is accompanied by cycle lanes .
The Gersthoferstraße is a main street A classified.
This main artery is also followed by the bus line 10A, which, coming from Lidlgasse, takes Gersthofer Straße to Türkenschanzplatz and leaves it in the direction of the 19th district.
Coming from Gentzgasse, the tram drives through Gersthofer Straße towards Pötzleinsdorf, since 1907 with the line signal 41.
At the Gersthofer Straße / Gentzgasse junction, there is access to tram lines 9 (towards Westbahnhof ) and 40 (like 41 to Schottentor ), to bus line 10A and to the Vienna S-Bahn .

Remarks
- ↑ The straight extension of Gersthofer Strasse is Lazargasse; however, the main traffic artery runs over the curve to Lidlgasse towards Hernals.
- ↑ According to the official city map (www.wien.gv.at/stadtplan), the border to the 17th district runs from Lidlgasse to Kreuzgasse south of Gersthofer Straße along the edge of the area where the suburb line is cut; only in the area of no. 2C does it protrude to the property boundary along the sidewalk, so that the property is in the 17th district, but the street itself is entirely in the 18th district.
