The card by Carl Graf Vasquez

The impoverished nobleman Carl Graf Vasquez , b. 1796 in Klattau, Bohemia , died 1861 in Ofen ( Budapest ), worked as a cartographer in the Biedermeier period and from 1827 published detailed and illustrated city maps of the kk Polizey districts of Vienna and its suburbs.

present

In 2008, a citizens' initiative in the Stuwerviertel called for the renaming of Arnezhoferstraße. It was under Mayor Karl Lueger 1906 by Johann Ignaz Arnezhofer, the first pastor of the Leopold Church , named (in 1671), which in 1670 with the expulsion of Jewish Vienna from the ghetto in the Lower Werd as commissioner to order the Israelite Affairs has operated and a staunch Supposed to have been an anti-Semite. The city administration rejected the renaming because the effort and costs were too high. In the meantime, the criticism of Arnezhofer has not been confirmed by historical research (see renaming ).
