history

In the course of planning the suburban line of the Vienna steam light rail , the architect Otto Wagner also designed the reception building for the Unter-Döbling stop for the Commission for Transport Systems in Vienna . It was structurally completed in June 1895 - as the first station building for the light rail system. The scheduled start of operations followed on May 11, 1898, together with the other stations on the line. Initially, only the tram ran in this area, the tram to Hohen Warte only went into operation on December 23, 1903.

With the cessation of regular passenger traffic on the suburban line on July 11, 1932, this stop also lost its original purpose and fell into disrepair in the following decades, the reception building was demolished in the mid-1950s. The bathing trains that continued to operate , however, passed through without stopping in Unter-Döbling. When the suburban line was finally reactivated in 1987 as part of the Vienna S-Bahn , Unter-Döbling was the only intermediate station on the route that did not go back into operation. In addition, today it is the only station set up for the Vienna Stadtbahn that no longer exists. It is operated alternatively by tram line 37 and bus lines 10A and 39A, which stop at Barawitzkagasse.
