The Neilreichgasse runs largely in the 10th Vienna district favorite and a small piece in the 23rd district Liesing . It was named in 1875 after the botanist August Neilreich .
Location and characteristics
Before 1875, Neilreichgasse was partly called Brunnwegstraße . In 1955 it was extended to include Franzensgasse . It extends in a north-south direction from Waldmüllerpark at Dampfgasse over the height of the Wienerberg to the center of Inzersdorf . It crosses the entire 10th district, similar to the large Favoritner thoroughfare Triester Straße , Laxenburger Straße or Favoritenstraße , but it is not a thoroughfare itself, as it lacks the other connections at the beginning and at the end. Therefore, their importance is limited to the district itself. Neilreichgasse is crossed by all of the major east-west connecting roads in Favoriten, such as Gudrunstrasse , Quellenstrasse , Troststrasse and Raxstrasse . At the border of the two districts of Favoriten and Liesing, it is only passable for pedestrians and cyclists and here it crosses under the autobahn Südosttangente Wien and the tracks of the Donauländebahn . In Liesing it runs to Draschestraße.
Public transport on Neilreichgasse is the tram lines O and 67 and the bus lines 7A and 65A as well as the night bus line N66.
On the northern slope of Wienerberg from Dampfgasse to Raxstraße, Neilreichgasse runs through built-up urban areas with houses from around 1900 to the present day. On the southern slope of the Wienerberg, however, there are allotment garden settlements , community housing estates and the Wienerberg recreation area , the small piece within Inzersdorf has a suburban character with a few low buildings.

The architect split the courtyard concept for municipal housing that was prevalent at the time into individual blocks and thus approximated the garden city architecture.
