The Laaer-Berg-Straße is the easternmost of the four major arterial roads of the 10th Viennese community district, favorites . It was named in 1956 after the Laaer Berg , over which it leads from the center of Favoriten to Oberlaa . Before that, the street had been called Laaer Straße since 1867 and was called Wiener Straße in the places south of the densely built-up urban area .
Course and characteristics
The Laaer-Berg-Straße is an old traffic route that leads from Oberlaa towards Vienna. The old route can still be seen today through the uneven course of the road. The Laaer-Berg-Straße runs from Reumannplatz in a south-easterly direction and climbs up to the height of the Laaer Berg. From there it descends to the center of Oberlaa, where it continues on Leopoldsdorfer Straße, which joins the extended Favoritenstraße, Himberger Straße, again just before the city limits before Leopoldsdorf . In 1978 part of Laaer-Berg-Strasse was incorporated into Theodor-Sickel-Gasse.
The Laaer-Berg-Straße is an arterial road that is heavily influenced by car traffic and is unattractive for pedestrians. The bus routes 68A and 68B run from Reumannplatz to Laaer Berg, bus routes 17A and 70A in the local area of Oberlaa, as well as regional bus routes to Schwechat and Mödling . The U1 underground line has its terminus at Laaer-Berg-Straße. Most of the road is accompanied by a cycle path.
The beginning of the street up to Absberggasse is characterized by the development of urban residential buildings ( community buildings ). The Laaer-Berg-Straße then crosses the route of the Südosttangente Wien motorway , above which the new Monte Laa district is located. On the western side of the street there are company premises and allotment gardens, to the east Urselbrunnengasse leads to the Bohemian Prater . After another residential complex from more recent times, the Laaer Wald recreation area as well as sports facilities and a kindergarten run by Wiener Kinderfreunde extend to the height of Laaer Berg on both sides of Laaer-Berg-Straße . Here you will find the Gartenstadt Siedlung Südost and community buildings from the interwar period. This is followed by the Oberlaa Kurpark to the east , allotment gardens to the west and the Per-Albin-Hansson settlement east . Both sides of the street are connected to each other by a pedestrian bridge on the Bergtaidingweg.
Before the local area of the Oberlaa Laaer-Berg-Straße finally crosses the lines of the 1974 here extended, and in September 2017 the extension of the U1 replaced tram line 67 and the Donauländebahn .
There are a total of 333 house numbers on Laaer-Berg-Straße.

No. 222: Parish Church of the Holy Cross
Parish Church of the Holy Cross : In 1925 an emergency church was built on this site, which was consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The barrack church was both a worship room and theater hall and was originally looked after by the Capuchin Fathers . In 1926, the Eucharist took over the pastoral care station. This little church was completely destroyed by a heavy bomb attack on November 6, 1944. After the war, a makeshift church was set up again, which was consecrated to the Holy Cross in 1965. Today's church building and parish center was built in 1984/1985 according to plans by Herbert Schmid. The hexagonal church building was built from bricks, alluding to the tradition of the brick pits that were once on the Laaer Berg. The bell tower is free-standing next to it.

Since 2017, Laaer-Berg-Straße has crossed under the U1 underground line , the terminus of which Oberlaa is directly above the street. From the forecourt in front of it to the north at An der Kuhtrift with the terminus of several bus lines, the staircase with the western reception building leads to the subway station.
Wayside shrine
At the corner of Friedhofstraße in Oberlaa there is a niche picture stick (Christ on the Mount of Olives) from the end of the 18th century. The top of the tabernacle shows a modern mosaic of the Mount of Olives.
