The Längenfeldgasse is a street in the 12th Viennese district Meidling . It has been named after the benefactor Josepha Haas von Längenfeld-Pfalzheim since 1894 and was partly called Stiegergasse before that .
Course and characteristics
The Längenfeldgasse has a north-south course ascending to the Wienerberg and begins at the Stiegerbrücke over the Wien River, crosses Schönbrunner Strasse, Arndtstrasse, Steinbauergasse, Flurschützstrasse and Eichenstrasse and flows into Kerschensteinergasse. Together with the adjoining Kundratstrasse, it represents the only connection from Meidling to Favoriten between Wienerbergstrasse and the Gürtel , as the tracks of the Südbahn are only underpassed by Längenfeldgasse. Most of the street between Arndtstrasse and Eichenstrasse is an avenue.
Längenfeldgasse touches the green areas of Bruno-Pittermann-Platz, the Steinbauer Park and the Wilhelmsdorfer Park . Public transport here consists of the bus lines 63A and 12A, which drive on Längenfeldgasse, or the underground lines U4 and U6, the Badener Lokalbahn trains, tram line 62 and the bus line 59A, which cross Längenfeldgasse.
At the beginning of the Längenfeldgasse there are still some late historical-secessionist houses from around 1900. Subsequently, mostly communal residential buildings followed, including several very noteworthy large complexes from the 1920s. From Eichenstraße there is no more construction and Längenfeldgasse crosses under the extensive track systems of the southern railway line. The alley ends at the Meidlinger Friedhof .
history
The current Längenfeldgasse extends over the area of the former place Meinhartsdorf and the later Gaudenzdorf . It was created as an extension of the Sechshauser Stiegergasse across the Wien River to the south and had the same name until 1894. At this time, only the section between Schönbrunner Strasse and Arndtstrasse (then Lainzer Strasse) was blocked, the remaining long section to the Südbahn was not. Just this many open spaces Meidling gave the Municipality of Red Vienna after World War opportunity along the Längenfeldgasse to build several of their innovative and exemplary social housing developments. After the Second World War, the remaining vacant lots were closed.
From the intersection area with the Oak Street was Meidlinger Hofküchenwasserleitung to Schonbrunn Palace headed.
