Hetzendorf is part of the 12th Viennese district Meidling and has an area of ​​around 2 to 3 km². The district, which has been loosely built up to this day, was one of the oldest localities on the southern edge of Vienna and is now one of the 89 Viennese cadastral communities .

The first documentary mention dates back to 1114, in 1190 Henricus von Hetzendorf received the area as a princely fief . After 1848 it was an independent municipality in Austria under the Enns until 1890 (decision) or January 1, 1892 (entry into force) and was then incorporated into Vienna as part of Vienna's 12th district, Meidling. Since the place is considerably removed from the district center and has not disappeared into the sea of ​​houses in Vienna, Hetzendorf has retained its local identity as a mostly loosely built residential area in the countryside to this day.

Hetzendorf Castle

Hetzendorf Castle is located in Hetzendorf , which was built in 1694 as the "Thunhof" and later expanded. The Viennese court stonemason master Johann Carl Trumler processed the hard, white Kaiserstein from Kaisersteinbruch mainly for the grand staircase and received 3,548 guilders for this order in 1717 . The stucco work on a ceiling on the ground floor is attributed to the Baroque artist Alberto Camesina . The architect Nikolaus Pacassi converted the palace into a widow's residence for her mother, Empress Elisabeth Christine , on behalf of Maria Theresa . When the Habsburgs used it, the straight Schönbrunner Allee was built - as a continuation of the main axis from Hetzendorf Castle to the side gate of the Schönbrunn Palace Park at the Kleine Gloriette .

In 1780 Christian August von Seilern acquired the rule from Maria Theresa . In 1801 Maximilian Franz of Austria and in 1814 Maria Karolina of Austria died in the castle, which now belonged to the imperial family fund. At the beginning of the 20th century, the later Emperor Karl I , Austria's last monarch, lived in Hetzendorf Castle. Today it houses the Vienna Fashion School in Hetzendorf Castle .

The castle church, which is located in the left part of the castle, houses a relic of the beatified Emperor Charles I of Austria. The former parish church is consecrated to the Most Holy Trinity and has been nicknamed the Seliger-Kaiser-Karl-Gedächtniskirche since May 2008 . Works by Daniel Gran can be seen in this part of the castle . The decorative painting on the walls and vaults is by Franz Joseph Wiedon and is dated 1744. Further works are by Johann Schindler, later (after 1945) by Anselm Grand.

Since 2005, the Festival du Jardin has opened the Hetzendorf Castle Park, which is otherwise not open to the public, to all visitors once a year.

Other notable buildings

Hetzendorfer parish church - "to the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary"
Archduchess-Marie-Valerie-Cottage, planned in 1885, today Kaulbachstraße

In addition to the low but well-proportioned castle, Hetzendorf has a number of other notable buildings, including

  • the neo-Romanesque rosary church ( Hetzendorfer parish church ) on the Marschallplatz; Its interior architecture, which is overloaded from today's perspective, was later radically changed; The altarpieces by Ernst Fuchs are known ; the term "Hetzendorf Church" used in earlier versions of this article is misleading, as the " Marianneum " and the aforementioned Hetzendorf Castle Church exist alongside the Rosary Church ;
  • the Rosenhügel settlement , which was built in the 1920s , is a user-friendly terraced house complex on Rosenhügel between today's Rosenhügelstrasse and Atzgersdorfer Strasse. It was built by the Altmannsdorf-Hetzendorf housing association on an approximately 35 hectare triangular corridor with the help of the future residents;
  • historic villas in Kaulbachstrasse next to the Hetzendorfer Schlosspark (formerly called Archduchess-Marie-Valerie- Cottage , after the favorite daughter of Emperor Franz Joseph I , Marie Valerie );
  • the Hetzendorfer Friedhof - a narrow, but historically significant burial site on Edelsinnstrasse or the connecting railway in the north of the village; However, the main cemetery of the district is the two-part southwest cemetery on Hervicusgasse and Wundtgasse in the south of Hetzendorf, which was laid out in the 20th century ;
  • the eastern tunnel portal of the Lainzer Tunnel , completed in 2012 , which connects the Westbahn with the Südbahn and the Vienna Central Station , completed in 2015 .

The southern runway , which is particularly busy in this section, crosses the periphery of Hetzendorf. Vienna Hetzendorf is a rapid transit station . The place is served by the tram line 62 (Oper, Karlsplatz U - Lainz, Wolkersbergenstraße) and by the bus line 63A (Health Center South - Meidling Hauptstraße U - Am Rosenhügel), further by the lines 56B, 56A, 58B and 156B, 156A and by line 16A in the morning and at noon.

Hetzendorf and its surroundings 1872 (recording sheet of the state survey)

In the southwest of Hetzendorf, on Emil-Behring-Weg on the border with Liesing near the area of ​​the former Federal Agency for Virus Disease Control (before: pig fattening facility, partially listed , until 2010 part of KG Atzgersdorf ), the residential area "Wildgarten" will be built in 2019-2021 is designed for around 2000 residents. A new stop on the Südbahn in the Wundtgasse area is being discussed as a transport link.
