The country Hauptstrasse is a major shopping street in Vienna , the 3rd district highway passes. It was named to preserve the name of the Landstrasse district . The name "Landstraßer Hauptstraße" is not common in everyday language, normally only "Landstraße" is used.

Location and characteristics

Historically, the country road is the arterial road from the Stubentor , and a road to the Roman camp Vindobona ran at this point in ancient times .

The street begins at the Stubenbrücke over the Vienna . Since 1975 the Hotel Hilton am Stadtpark has been a clear accent at the entrance to the street. Then she passes the Wien-Mitte train station . This point has been an important traffic junction since the early 19th century; from 1803 to 1847 it was the end basin of the Wiener Neustädter Canal . The main customs office was built in 1859 (after the nearby customs office building by Paul Sprenger ), this station was rebuilt in 1962 and from 2007 to 2013. In 1899 an underground station was added for the Stadtbahn , which (after some renovations in the late 1970s) serves as a station for the U4 . Opposite is now an office and cinema center, where there were extensive market halls until the 1960s.

A little below that, the further course is characterized by the elongated baroque facade of the St. Elisabeth monastery hospital with the characteristic church tower. Below this, on the even side, there are some historicist buildings from the late 19th century, while the odd side is predominantly late-historic-secessionist. After Seidlgasse and beyond Weyrgasse, the houses belong to the ensemble of Esteplatz , which was built shortly after 1910. House No. 25 was demolished for the Weyrgasse ( Estegasse until 1919 ), which is why this house number no longer exists.

The only larger bulge in the street is opposite the Rochuskirche and the post office, which was demolished in 2015. The area has been called Rochusplatz since 2016 , and there is a small food market there, the Rochusmarkt . There, in the Salmgasse / Rasumofskygasse area, was the St. Nikolai monastery , which was destroyed by the Ottomans in 1529 , and the parish church of St. Nikolai , which originally gave the suburb its name: in the 13th century, the later Landstraße is mentioned as Nikolai-Vorstadt . Around the Rochuskirche, the suburban character of the street (with buildings from the late 18th century) has most likely been preserved, which extends to the Kundmanngasse that flows into it . In particular, there are examples of the Josephinian plate style in this area . Typical of parcels from this time is their narrow front and great depth, usually they are divided into several courtyards, which reveals their origin as farmyards.

Below the upper part of the road that runs underground , the stations road (station belonging) and Rochusgasse lie on the country Hauptstrasse. After this station the street has a slightly curved course, while the underground tunnel continues straight, which brings it under Hainburger Straße.

At about half of the street the Neulinggasse goes away, above this junction is the through wing of a community building. This roughly corresponds to the position of the Palais Arenberg , which stood here until around 1900, and the gardens behind it were only parceled out in the early 20th century. The resulting quarter around Dannebergplatz is therefore a closed late historical ensemble. The breakthrough in Neulinggasse did not take place until the 1950s.

On the straight side there is an ensemble of Biedermeier houses below Barichgasse. The opposite Emmerich-Teuber-Platz, which forms the gusset to Baumgasse and where the Apostelgasse branches off, is once again a prominent urban point, which is confirmed not least by an old crossroads and a striking street clock.

Then the street runs to Schlachthausgasse, where it takes on an increasingly suburban character, from around Baumgasse its function as a shopping street also ceases. This last third is dominated by the 68 meter high tower of the neo-Romanesque Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus .

The Paulusplatz quarter , which was laid out according to plan around 1820, extends on both sides of Schimmelgasse . On a plan by Carl Graf Vasquez around 1830, the local section of the street is called Paulusgrund Hauptstraße . The small Biedermeier houses that originally made up the quarter have been replaced almost everywhere by new buildings over the decades, although the last ones on Landstraßer Hauptstrasse were not until after the turn of the millennium.

At Schlachthausgasse the street makes a sharp bend to the right, continues as its continuation and flows into the Landstraßer Gürtel in front of the Arsenal .

traffic

The subway goes below Landstraßer Hauptstraße to Rochusplatz. Tram operation existed until 1984 before it was discontinued as part of the underground construction. The only public surface seller is now operated by the 74A bus, which crosses Landstraßer Hauptstrasse almost the entire route and has its terminus near the intersection with Rennweg (at the St. Marx S-Bahn station ). This does not apply to the section between Schlachthausgasse and the end of the street on Landstraßer Gürtel - tram line 18 (or historically 118) runs there.

Places and Buildings

Stylistically, the street is extremely uneven, without forming larger ensembles. Most likely the area around the Rochuskirche is to be mentioned, in the vicinity of which some of the building stock of the later 18th century has been preserved. The buildings in later styles (romantic, strict and later historicism, secessionism, objectivity) are each scattered and form only very small ensembles. Monument protection exists for the sacred buildings and some residential buildings, especially for many of those that date from the late 18th century. There are a total of seventeen listed objects on Landstraßer Hauptstraße, see also the list of listed objects in Vienna / Landstraße .

It was officially named Kirchenplatz until 1862 (also on a plan from 1830 by Carl Graf Vasquez ) and has since been included in Landstraßer Hauptstraße. The Rochusmarkt is located there . The area was vacant after the Nikolai cemetery was razed in 1784 and a market soon developed at this point. In 1988 it had to be demolished due to the construction of the U3 , after the opening of the subway it was rebuilt with uniform market stalls on the original square. With 3,500 square meters, it is one of the smaller markets in Vienna and has forty market stalls. Since the Rochusgasse underground station was completed , its station building has formed the center of the market, where a small forecourt with a columned fountain was created.

The current facade dates from the years 1718–1721 and was designed by an architect Kollmann as well as Kaspar Offel and Christian Oettel . Some things are ascribed to Anton Ospel , but this could also be due to a mix-up. After the Nikolaikirche was torn down in 1784 it became a parish church, in 1812 the monastery was closed and the church was occupied by secular clergy.

The main facade facing the street is three-axis with two towers and divided by giant pilasters, which end in the attic zone in a triangular gable crossed by basket arches.

The four to six-storey blocks form a closed front on the outside and a grid of square and rectangular courtyards on the inside, which are cut diagonally, which was the result of a railway plan that was not implemented. The facade is given a rhythm by the tower-like staircases with cornices. A monumental bust of wild goose by Alfons Riedel inserted into a staircase is in one of the courtyards, on the facade facing Landstraßer Hauptstrasse there is a terracotta relief picture of a plowing farmer, also by Riedel .

Aspang grounds

Opposite the Wildganshof there is an urban development area where the area of ​​the former Aspang train station is being built. The area forms an approximate triangle between Aspangstraße, Adolf-Blamauer-Gasse, Landstraßer Gürtel and Landstraßer Hauptstraße. Approx. 2,000 apartments and 8,000 jobs are planned.

Wild goose place

As the Landstraßer Hauptstraße joins the Landstraßer Gürtel, the Wildgansplatz is formed right behind the Wildganshof , but its visual recognizability as a space is severely restricted by a motorway entrance . On top of it, cut off from the street by a noise barrier, is the Ilja Jovanović Park (named after a co-founder of the Romano Centro for the Roma ethnic group ). Marie Strasser's artificial stone sculpture Flamme is in the park .
