Location and landscape

The Kellerberg rises south of the Wienerberg and the Liesing valley near Erlaa . It lies between the Petersbach in the north and the small Krotenbach in the south. It is slightly lower than the Wienerberg – Laaer-Berg -zug ( 251  m above sea level ) and much less extensive. In the southwest, after the area of ​​Maria-Enzersdorf, follows the much higher calendar mountain in Mödling ( 332  m above sea level ).

In the north lies Siebenhirten , a district of Liesing , in the west towards the Vienna Woods Perchtoldsdorf , in the south-west Brunn am Gebirge , and in the east Vösendorf and in the south-east the Shopping City Süd . On the mountain are Viennese settlements and the Brunner Wolfholzsiedlung .

To the east passes the Süd Autobahn  (A2), here it has the junction of the Wiener Außenring Autobahn  (A21), which runs over the Kellerberg. On the mountain north of the A21 is the Kellersee and south of the same is the Wienerbergerteich .

History and nature

The old ski jumps are on the mountain . They were raised in the Thirty Years' War during the Swedish invasion in 1645 , but were not used, the fighting concentrated on Wolfsschanze in Brigittenau.

Until the 19th century, the mountain was only arable land. It is named after the extensive cellars of the former Schellenhof brewery , which existed from before 1719 to 1926. In the early days then here came the plants brick plants Wienerberger whose main production facilities in south Sulz- and Steinfeld to Neudorf near Vienna extended (Neudorfer brick plants) . The two ponds date from this time, they are former clay pits.

The A2 was built here as early as 1959-62, the A23 followed until 1968. In the 1980s, a second "shopping city" was under discussion on the Kellerberg, which was prevented by a citizens' initiative. A settlement of multi-storey apartment blocks was also planned for a time.

In 2002/03, seven hectares of the still undeveloped part of the forest and agricultural enterprise (MA 49) were redesigned into the Kellerberg Liesing-Siebenhirten recreation area .
