Historical topographical names in the 2nd district of Vienna
Historical topographical names in the Leopoldstadt district of Vienna
Around 1835
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.
The sheet KK Polizey-Bezirk Leopoldstadt, published without a date , consisting of the suburbs Leopoldstadt and Jägerzeil together with 14 of the finest views by Carl Graf Vasquez (since there is no evidence of the construction of the North Station , it must have been published before 1839) are the following topographical designations taken and compared with today's alphabetically arranged names.

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 ).
