In 1873 he became associate professor and in 1878 full professor at the University of Vienna . His reputation for being a "fearless surgeon with excellent technique and a calmness that never embarrassed him even in the most delicate cases" made him one of the most popular and sought-after in his time - even alongside the world-famous Viennese surgeon Theodor Billroth Surgeons of Vienna.
• Weißgerberlände , named in 1862 after the former suburb of Weißgerber . The place was first mentioned in the 16th century as "Among the white tanners". It was built after the first Turkish siege of Vienna in the flood-prone backwater area of ​​the Vienna River and housed Flecksieder , red and white tanners . In the course of the incorporation of the suburbs in 1850, the suburbs Weißgerber, Landstrasse and Erdberg were formed into the new 3rd district with the name Landstrasse. See also Obere Weißgerberstraße and Untere Weißgerberstraße . The middle part of the street was named in 1830 in regard to the execution site near poor sinner alley , the downstream to Sophia Chain Bridge subsequent part on the Gänseweide .
• Weyrgasse , named in 1919 after the sculptor Rudolf Weyr (1847–1914); he is considered a representative of the neo-baroque and one of the most important artists of the Ringstrasse epoch . From him come u. a. the memorial for Franz Grillparzer in the Burggarten (1889, together with Carl Kundmann ), the fountain “ Die Macht zur See ” on the Michaelertrakt of the Hofburg (1895), the memorial for Hans Canon near the city ​​park (1905) and the memorial for Johannes Brahms on the Karlsplatz (1908). The lane that is interrupted in the middle by Esteplatz was previously called Estegasse and was laid out at the same time as it around 1909.
• Wildgansplatz , named in 1932 after the writer and theater director Anton Wildgans (1881–1932); The trained lawyer worked entirely as a journalist and writer from 1912. He wrote for various magazines and wrote a. a. the socially critical dramas Armut (1914) and Dies Irae (1918). Wildgans was very committed to Austrian state independence. In the years 1921–1922 and 1930–1931 he was director of the Vienna Burgtheater . In 1932 Anton Wildgans was the most promising candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature ; however, he died shortly before of a heart attack. The Wildganshof is also named after him. The place without house numbers is where the Landstraßer Gürtel turns into the Landstraßer Hauptstraße and a driveway to the A23 Südosttangente branches off.
• Würtzlerstraße , named in 1897 after the doctor Ladislaus von Würtzler (1847–1896); The native Hungarian was considered social and cared for the poor on the highway free of charge. Before 1897 the street was called Bockgasse ( Lehmann 1896).

Z

• Zaunergasse , named in 1894 after the sculptor Franz Anton von Zauner (1746–1822), teacher at the Imperial and Royal Court Academy (from 1781), professor (from 1796), director of the painting and sculpting class (from 1806). Zauner was a representative of early classicism as the successor to Georg Raphael Donner . His main works are the equestrian statue of Joseph II , for which he was raised to the nobility by Emperor Franz I in 1807 , and the monument to Leopold II in the Augustinian Church in Vienna. Before that, the street was called Michaelgasse .
• Zemanekgasse , named in 2019 after the computer pioneer Heinz Zemanek (1920–2014); His best-known achievement in 1958 was the construction of the first fully transistorized computer on the European mainland, the “Mailüfterl” . In the field of programming languages , Zemanek was jointly responsible for the formal definition of the programming language PL / I for the company IBM, written in the so-called Vienna Definition Language (VDL) .
• Ziehrerplatz , named in 1933 after the composer and conductor Carl Michael Ziehrer (1843–1922), initially from 1884 Kapellmeister of the infantry regiment Hoch- und Deutschmeister No. 4 . As a result he gave concerts all over Europe and in 1893 on the occasion of the world exhibition in Chicago . The high point of his career was his appointment as fourth and last Imperial Ball Music Director (after Johann Strauss's father , Johann Strauss's son and Eduard Strauss ) in 1907. Ziehrer lost his fortune due to the inflation after the First World War and died impoverished; his body was consecrated in the Rochuskirche . Before that, the square was called Rochusplatz .
• Zollgasse , named in 1862 after the former main customs office. The building was built by Paul Sprenger in 1840–1844 and was located directly next to the harbor basin of the Wiener Neustädter Canal, which was filled in in 1849 . The office was destroyed by bombs in 1945 and was never rebuilt. (Today's Wien Mitte train station , built in the former port, was called the Hauptzollamt until 1962. ) See also Hintere Zollamtsstrasse and Vordere Zollamtsstrasse . The street was called Holzgeststättengasse on the Vasquez plan around 1830 and, before the railway was built in 1859, it also extended over later railway grounds. In 1830, Kegelgasse was a connection from the (longer) Holzgeststättengasse to today's Marxergasse, roughly where a section of Untere Viaduktgasse is today. In Lehmann in 1861 the former Holzgeststättengasse was also run as Kegelgasse, before the name Zollgasse or Untere Viaduktgasse was chosen in 1862.
