The Grillparzerstraße located on the 1st Viennese district of Inner City . It was named in 1873 after the Austrian playwright Franz Grillparzer .
Location and characteristics
The Grillparzerstraße is located in the so-called Rathausviertel, an area around the Vienna City Hall , where the parade and parade ground in front of the city wall of Vienna extended until the middle of the 19th century. The naming of other streets in some suburbs of Vienna after Franz Grillparzer was gradually abandoned after their incorporation in favor of Grillparzerstraße in the 1st district, since no double names should be made within Vienna.
The Grillparzerstraße stretches from the Rathausplatz in the east westwards to the Landesgerichtsstraße . It is run as a one-way street and has a cycle path. There is no public transport on it.
The building is uniformly late-historical with residential buildings from around 1880 to 1890.
