Dog Storm (to 1902 dog tower was) in 1849 and 1850, an independent community and is now a district of Vienna in the 5th district of Vienna , Margareten .
Hundsturm was first mentioned in a document in 1632. In 1600 Archduke Matthias , who later became emperor, had a male house built in Hundsturm as the landlord. The name Hundsturm possibly comes from this male house. It is more likely, however, that it goes back to the former Hundsmühle, which is first recorded in 1408 as the Hunczmühle in the Scheibenried .
The male house was demolished in 1672, and in its place was the Hundsthurm Castle , which was demolished in 1885 . The square in front of the castle, previously called Schloßplatz, was called Hundst (h) urmplatz or Hundst (h) urmer Platz from 1886–1923 and has been called Am Hundsturm since 1923.
During the 17th century the settlement around this castle developed, especially along today's Schönbrunner Straße between Spengergasse and the Margaretengürtel . In 1842 the Hundsthurm manor was acquired by the City of Vienna, but has not yet been incorporated. In the years 1849/1850, when the manors in Austria were dissolved, the place was briefly an autonomous municipality, but was incorporated into the city of Vienna in 1850 as part of the new 4th district, Wieden . In 1861/1862 the district was divided and Hundsthurm was assigned to the new 5th district, Margareten.
The suburb of Hundsturm expanded in the 19th century to include a small area outside the line wall , Vienna's outer defense line. The line wall, in the end only relevant as a tax limit, was demolished from 1894, and the Gürtelstrasse , which had been built in the 1870s, was expanded. In 1907, the parts of the former suburb known as Neu-Margareten, which were located to the west outside the belt, about 40 blocks between Arndtstrasse and Eichenstrasse west of the Gaudenzdorf belt , came to Meidling by state law No. 4 of February 2, 1907 (12. District).
The Hundsturm cemetery, established in 1783 and where the famous Austrian composer Joseph Haydn was buried in 1809, also belonged to this transferred area . The former cemetery area in the 12th district has been known as Haydn Park since 1926 .
The Hundsturmer coat of arms shows a silver tower on a green meadow on a blue background. A dog leaps out of the open golden gate of the tower.
Under the name “Volkstheater Hundsturm”, the Volkstheater has been operating a venue in the railway workers' home since autumn 2005, which was renamed “Volx / Margareten” in 2015 by the artistic director Anna Badora.
