The Jägerzeile was an independent suburb of Vienna in the kk police district Leopoldstadt and has been a suburb of Vienna in the 2nd district , Leopoldstadt , since it was incorporated in 1850 - today no longer perceptible as such .
The village emerged as a settlement of retired court hunters of Emperor Maximilian II , to whom the monarch provided building sites - from 1569 initially in the Venediger Au between today's Lassallestrasse and today's Exhibition Street. The road to the city was soon named Jägerzeile. Building sites south of the Jägerzeile, which has been called Praterstrasse since 1862, were later awarded, from which the definitive place name Jägerzeile developed by 1660 (previously the place was also called Venediger Au). The suburb of Leopoldstadt bordered north of the street and from Czerningasse into town.
In 1750 Maria Theresa sold the manor. It changed hands several times until it came into the possession of the City of Vienna in 1841. Following the Biedermeier city map by Carl Graf Vasquez , the suburb Jägerzeile consisted around 1830 of the houses on the street of the same name in the section from Czerningasse to Prater-Hauptallee, with Czerningasse as the border to the houses in the suburb of Leopoldstadt south of the Danube Canal. Furthermore, from the area of the Wurstelprater including the sparsely populated Venediger Au and today's Stuwerviertel (at that time largely undeveloped) as well as from the houses on the Prater side of today's Franzensbrückenstraße in the next section of the Danube Canal and the buildings along today's Schüttelstraße on the Danube Canal.
The coat of arms of the Jägerzeile shows the silver Hubertushirsch , the symbol of the Jägerzeile, on a green meadow. The stag wears twelve-pointed golden antlers . A golden cross protrudes from the center. The coat of arms is now part of the coat of arms of the 2nd district of Vienna.
