The Invalidenstrasse located on the 3rd  Vienna district highway . The street was named in 1883 after the former invalids ' house that was located here.

history

Cardinal Sigismund von Kollonitz , Archbishop of Vienna , acquired - with financial support from Emperor Karl VI. and other benefactors - in 1727 a palace in the suburb of Landstrasse to build a poor and supply house. Joseph II rededicated the building as a military house for invalids . Around 1830 the building had orientation number 1. The Imperial and Royal Invalidenhaus was moved to Lainz in 1909 , the old building was demolished and the property was parceled out. Today there are Untere Viaduktgasse, Ditscheinergasse and Grailichgasse (called Invalidenstrasse district ). It is a closed ensemble that was created within a short time (1910/11), which also includes some houses in Untere Viaduktgasse.
