The Löwygrube and the Kurpark Oberlaa , the Volkspark Laaerberg and the Laaerwald are part of the Laaerberg recreational area .

history

The Löwygrube owes its name to the private Löwy brickworks by Jacob Löwy (1859–1942) , which was formerly established at this location and which mined clay and burned bricks in the Laaer Wald forest . The pipe pond and the butter pond are remnants of these brick pits. After the Second World War , from the early 1950s to around 1965, the Löwygrube was used as a landfill . Then it was converted to a local recreation area. The contaminated sites of the landfill have been secured since 2011. Today the entire area is protected as a landscape protection area.
