In 1751 he was appointed Prince Archbishop and in 1756 Cardinal. Empress Maria Theresa appointed him protector of theological and philosophical sciences at the University of Vienna and head of the new university building. The Palais Trautson in the 7th district of Neubau is not named after him, but after his father, the Reichshofrat and chief chamberlain Johann Leopold Donat Graf Trautson (1659–1724). For a long time, the alley was erroneously written on street signs as Trautsohngasse (with "h"). It used to be called Schiffgasse and then Schwibbogengasse .
  • Trude-Waehner-Platz , named in 2019 after the painter Trude Waehner (1900–1979); in the 1920s she became a member of the artists' associations Hagenbund and Österreichischer Werkbund . In 1938 she emigrated to the USA. In addition to painting, exhibitions and art classes, she also worked scientifically on the analysis of forms in art.
  • Tulpengasse , named in 1862 after the former house sign "Zur Tulpe". The street was previously called Schlösselgasse .

  • Wickenburggasse , 1809 named after the Electoral Palatinate's envoy at the Viennese court, Anton Reichsgraf Wickenburg (1750–1813), Palatinate Bavarian Real Privy Councilor, cavalry general, envoy in St. Petersburg and Vienna. (His son was the Styrian governor Matthias Graf Wickenburg .) The street was a dead end from 1800–1808 behind the Schlösselgasse. In 1808 it was broken through after the garden of the Löwenhaus (Wickenburggasse 18–23) had been subdivided into Alser Strasse ; Count Wickenburg had the first house built in this street in 1810. The corner house at No. 23 (= Alser Straße 11) was owned by the Wickenburgs from 1811–1874, and later Hans Kelsen lived here .

  • Zeltgasse , named in 1862 after the alleged camp site of the Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa Pascha during the second Turkish siege in 1683; in fact, however, the tents were on the Schmelz . The velvet dealer and army supplier Louis Henry (1703–1789) owned numerous properties in this area. He had them parceled out, which in 1776 a. a. the Zeltgasse was created. The street was previously called Zwerchgasse (= cross street); it was extended to Lange Gasse in 2001 .
