The Ladenburghöhe is located in the southwestern area of the Währing district and forms the southern border of the Pötzleinsdorfer Schlosspark . The Ladenburghöhe adjoins the Schafberg to the northeast and is covered by forest in the north. On the southern slopes there is an allotment garden and the Schafbergbad . The Ladenburghöhe also separates the catchment area of the Währinger Bach from its southern tributary, the Dürwaring . A remnant of the headwaters of the Dürwaring is still preserved today on the upper Tichyweg, northeast of the Schafbergbad.
Origin of name
The name of the Ladenburghöhe is derived from Ludwig Ladenburg (1817 Mannheim - 1877 Frankfurt am Main ). The bank director, who came from the well-known Jewish Mannheim family, was the owner of the nearby Pötzleinsdorf Palace and a sponsor of the Austro-Hungarian North Pole expedition . The Ladenburg Island in Franz Josef Land was named after him. His sister Theodora Ladenburg (1819 Mannheim - 1911 Saint-Cloud near Paris) was the wife of the banker Eduard David Ellissen, whose family founded the Theresienthal paper mill . Ludwig Ladenburg and his wife Julie born. von Lämel, after whom today's Dr.-Heinrich-Maier-Strasse was named, are both buried in the Jewish cemetery in Währing .
