List of devastations in Vienna

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of deserted areas in Vienna contains settlements in today's Viennese municipal area that no longer exist ( deserted areas ). There are various reasons for this: Villages on the outskirts of the city ​​center often fell victim to the First Turkish Siege of Vienna or the defensive structures that were built afterwards. Settlements on the left bank of the Danube perished during floods and villages in the Vienna Woods were abandoned during a general decline in settlement. The location is often not clearly determinable, the information is therefore without guarantee.

1st district

  • Gereut : This is a name that was used in the 14th century for the area around the Heumarkt near the Stubentor . The room gate itself was often used in connection with this name. But it was also the old name of Mauer .
  • Scheffstrasse : This place was between the Stubentor and the Danube Canal on the city-side bank of the Vienna . It was mainly inhabited by gardeners. Its decline began under Matthias Corvinus and as a result of the first Turkish siege of Vienna it finally perished. Then the glacis was created here.
  • Among the fishermen : This settlement was first mentioned in 1364 and was located in the area of ​​today's Schottenring . It fell victim to the First Siege of Vienna by the Turks and, like Scheffstrasse, to the subsequent construction of the glacis .

2nd district

3rd district

  • Froschau : This place was first mentioned in 1369 and was still referred to as a settlement in 1469. It was on the Weißgerberlände .
  • Hirschpeunt : This place, which roughly follows today's Beatrixgasse , was mentioned in documents in 1355 and 1395 and was later only used as a field name
  • Jeuls or Jeus : the name obviously comes from Hungarian ; the settlement therefore probably already existed in the 10th century, the oldest known documentary mention was 1315. The place was between Karlsplatz and Rennweg . Jeuss can still be found as a field name on plans from the 18th century .
  • Krotental : This place, mentioned in 1404, was similar to Hirschpeunt in front of the Stubentor.
  • Nottendorf : (means village of comrades ). Albrecht III. called Flemish wool dyers and gardeners into the country, who founded this village, first mentioned in 1389. It had its own village constitution, but fell victim to the First Turkish Siege of Vienna , after which it was no longer rebuilt. The Nottendorfer Gasse in Erdberg reminds of this.
  • Weirochberg : Although this place was mentioned for the first time in the 12th century, its exact location is not known. There were suspicions that he was at the end of the Wiental, on Beatrixgasse or in Simmering at all . The name was also still in use as a field name and as such refers to a location on Landstraßer Hauptstrasse .

9th district

  • Siechenals : This settlement was built on the Als next to a hospital. The settlement was destroyed during the 1st Turkish siege of Vienna and was not rebuilt. The suburb of Thurygrund was not established here until the 17th century .
  • Unter den Lederern : This was a village on the Rossauer Lände named in 1357 .
  • Among the Segnern : This settlement was also near the Rossauer Lände, on the Danube island of Oberer Werd . It was first mentioned in 1386.

10th district

  • Bernhardsthal : This place near Inzersdorf was first mentioned in the 14th century and destroyed during the Second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683. Bernhardtstalgasse has been a reminder of the place since 1898 .

11th district

  • Mirmitz : Mirmitz near Kaiserebersdorf was mentioned in the 15th century. The so-called Jesuit mill was located there later .
  • Seebarn : This place between Simmering and Kaiserebersdorf was first mentioned in 1369.

13th district

  • Katternberg : This settlement was mentioned for the first time in 1168 or 1186. It was at the end of Schönbrunner Strasse and reached into the Schönbrunn palace gardens. The Katternburg , the predecessor of Schönbrunn Palace, built in the 15th century and destroyed in 1683, was named after the place.

15th district

17th district

  • Ruprechts : This place was just outside Neuwaldegg in the headwaters of the Als , where today's Wiener Höhenstraße begins. It was first mentioned as an estate in 1143.

19th district

  • Altenurfahr : This settlement near Nussdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1276. Presumably it was a single-line alley village on today's Hackhofergasse . The settlement got its name after a crossing over the Danube to the Jedlesee on the other bank . It was the most profitable of all the crossings in the Vienna area. Various influential bourgeois families were enfeoffed as fiefs .
  • Arnsberg : This was a settlement near Sievering mentioned in 1233 . Later the field name Harnsberg reminded of it.
  • Chlaitzing or Klaitzing: This settlement in the Krottenbachtal east of Neustift am Walde was first mentioned in 1298. Neustift should also be the successor settlement. At the end of the 14th century it was only known as Weingartenried . The field name Glanzing has survived to this day and is also used for this area.
  • Hart : This name was used from the middle of the 12th century for an area in what would later become Oberdöbling .
  • Hornsberg : Hornsberg near Sievering was first mentioned in 1355; it is not known whether it was really a settlement.
  • Kogelbrunn or Chogelbrunn: The existence of this settlement on a slope of the Hermannskogel is controversial. Possibly it was just a field name, while the place mentioned in some documents is actually today's Kollnbrunn , a cadastral community of Bad Pirawarth .
  • Mitterhofen : This place, mentioned in 1377, was apparently between Ober- and Untersievering. In contrast to these two places, it was only sparsely populated.
  • Rohrigenwiesen or Rohrerwiesen: The place was first mentioned in 1108, but is difficult to localize. It was probably in the Krottenbachtal near today's Hugo-Wolf-Park.

21st district

  • Etzleinsdorf : This settlement between Jedlesee and Langenzersdorf was mentioned in a document in 1305. But it was not until the 18th century that it was definitely described as deserted.
  • Krotendorf : This place south of Strebersdorf was mentioned in 1186.
  • Stroblersdorf : The predecessor settlement of Strebersdorf was west of today's town and was destroyed by floods in 1440 .

22nd district

  • Breitenlee : The place was destroyed in 1529 and was deserted for 165 years before it was rebuilt.
  • Hoven or Hofen: The settlement near Lettenhaufen in Kagran was first mentioned in 1250 and was probably destroyed by a flood.
  • Neusiedl-Paben : This was a settlement near Essling , which was first mentioned in 1260 and deserted at the beginning of the 16th century.
  • Ringelsee : The village was first mentioned in a document around 1180. Two documents about the marriage of Constantia of Austria to Margrave Heinrich III. von Meißen point out that it was at Stadlau . It used to be assumed that the location was near Floridsdorf , which is why Ringelseegasse is also there.
  • Stallarn or Stallern: This settlement, first mentioned around 1136, was one of the largest desolations in the area. 45 houses are documented in the 13th and 14th centuries. It was northeast of Süßenbrunn , where the field name Feld reminds us of the desolate village of Stallern , as well as the cadastral community of Stallingerfeld from Deutsch Wagram . Today there is a golf course there. The place should not be confused with the village of the same name near Langenzersdorf , which fell victim to a flood in 1440.
  • Teimdorf or Deindorf: The place was first mentioned around 1250 and was located between Essling and Groß-Enzersdorf . It began to desert as early as 1437 and had completely disappeared in the 16th century. The reason was probably floods and war events. Today Deindorfstrasse is a reminder of the place.
  • Wulzendorf : The place was first mentioned in writing in 1150 and was near Aspern . Today the name is used for a new residential area in the area of Wulzendorfstrasse ,southwest of Aspern.

23rd district

  • Arnstetten or Arenstetten: This was a settlement between Rodaun and Perchtoldsdorf , which was first mentioned in 1323. It belonged to the parish of Gaaden around the 13th century (with Rodaun and Kalksburg). Arenstetten was located in the municipality of Perchtoldsdorf, at the intersection of today's Arenstettengasse and Hochstraße in the area of ​​the houses Hochstraße 87 to 135. In the 15th century, the village grew together with the development of Hochstraße, due to the devastation as part of the 2nd Turkish siege it finally lost its independence. A slight extension in the course of the Hochstraße is interpreted as a former Anger von Arenstetten.
  • Schweizerhof : This place near Inzersdorf was pretty short-lived. The first known mention dates from 1509, in the second half of the 16th century it had already disappeared.
  • Willendorf : The settlement was first mentioned in 1133 and was located west of Inzersdorf on today's Gutheil-Schoder-Gasse . The center of the village was a manor, the Steinhof (first mentioned in 1346), after a fire from 1810 under the name Neusteinhof (demolished around 1960). The local manor Neusteinhof existed until 1849. Today Willendorfer Gasse is a reminder of the settlement.
