The Mölker Steig is an alley in the 1st Viennese district of Inner City . It was named around 1871 after the neighboring Mölker Bastei .
history
Where the Mölker Steig is today, the Viennese city wall ran in the Middle Ages . From the 16th century the curtain wall stretched between the Schottentor and the Mölker Bastei. Small houses were built on the driveway in the 17th century for the town guard, which were privatized in the 18th century. When the neighboring Melker Hof was also being rebuilt at the same time, a staircase was built at the Schottentor. It was originally called Mölker Stiege , from 1862 Schottenstiege for a short time until it was incorporated into Mölker Steig in 1871. At that time the curtain wall was torn down, some houses were demolished and the rest including the stairs are now called Mölker Steig.
Location and characteristics
The Mölker Steig is a short, double-curved picturesque lane between Schreyvogelgasse in the south and Schottengasse in the north. It is elevated on the remains of the Mölker Bastei, part of the former Vienna city fortifications. The Mölker Steig can only be used by pedestrians, the connection to the Schottengasse is formed by a staircase that leads down from the Mölker Steig to the Schottengasse. Most of the construction consists of the backs of buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries.
