The Neubaugasse is one of the most popular shopping streets of Vienna and is in the same 7th district , the new building , a very urban district. It is not a typical shopping street with large shops, also because of the comparatively limited space available, but is characterized by many small shops and bars. It stretches from Lerchenfelder Straße (border to the 8th district) in the north through the entire district and in the south of the 7th district flows into the largest shopping street in Vienna, Mariahilfer Straße (border to the 6th district). The last section before this is designed like a pedestrian zone and closed to general through traffic.
history

The Neubaugasse was built in 1550 after the first Turkish siege . At that time it ran as Lange Gasse only to Burggasse. When the first houses in this suburb of Vienna were built along the street in 1770, it was given the name Neubau Hauptstraße .
After it was incorporated into Vienna in 1850 and extended to Lerchenfelder Strasse, it was renamed Neubaugasse in 1862.
In the Neubaugasse you will mainly find houses from the Wilhelminian era and the time of the Vienna Secession . The Renaissance theater has been located at No. 38 since 1912, built into a residential and commercial building .

Well-known personalities who were born, lived or worked on Neubaugasse included Paul I. Esterházy de Galantha , who had a summer residence built here in 1685 (two years later he was raised to the rank of prince by the emperor), the composer Carl Michael Ziehrer , the sculptor Franz Steinfeld and the Viennese historian Anton Ferdinand Reichsritter von Geusau . From 1861 to 1866 the mechanic and automobile pioneer Siegfried Marcus ran his telegraph construction company in house number 70 . In 1928, apartment building No. 5 attracted public attention when, in connection with the arrest of the Hungarian communist leader Béla Kun (1886–1938) on April 26, the building was identified as the seat of a Bolshevik propaganda bureau led by Kun .
Since 2009, five of a total of eleven memorial stones have been relocated to the new building in Neubaugasse to commemorate the victims of National Socialism .
traffic
The Neubaugasse was opened up in the second half of the 19th century with a horse-drawn bus line. On August 20, 1900, the route of the later 13er was put into operation for the electric tram without a horse tramway having been driven here beforehand . With the introduction of the line scheme, from April 3, 1907, line 3, which ran from the Südbahnhof through the 4th to 9th districts to the Nordwestbahnhof in the 20th district, ran through the alley, from January 9, 1913 on it was additional and slower In 1945, instead of the 3, tram line 13 (Südbahnhof – 8th / 9th, Alser Straße ), which ran from December 1, 1947 to July 1, 1961 .
On July 2, 1961, this was replaced by a bus line (then 13, now 13A); This gained fame through the stock buses used until 1990. Today, Neubaugasse represents part of an important tangential connection through the inner districts, especially for Vienna's public transport. Since 2010, the re-establishment of a tram line through the alley has been under discussion.
The street is also accessed by lines 46 (Lerchenfelder Straße at the northern end of the street) and 49 of the tram (Siebensterngasse and Westbahnstraße) and 48A (bus, to the city center: Burggasse, from the city center: Neustiftgasse). At the southern end of the alley is located since 1993 in the Mariahilferstrasse the metro station Neubaugasse line U3, the tram lines replaced in the inner Mariahilferstrasse 52 and 58th
The entire length of Neubaugasse is a one-way street in the direction of Mariahilfer Straße. From Mariahilfer Straße to Siebensterngasse, cyclists can also use it in the opposite direction.
Following a resolution by the City of Vienna, Neubaugasse will be redesigned as a meeting zone from January 2020 .
Culture
theatre
The Renaissance theater was founded in 1912 as a Volksbühne and is now a venue for the Theater der Jugend .
Movie
With the heyday of the Austrian silent film between 1918 and 1923, Neubaugasse and adjacent streets developed into the film district, where almost all companies active in film had their headquarters or at least a branch. There is hardly a house in which at least one film distributor, film producer, film lawyer, film bookstore, film café or various film suppliers did not have their offices - the closer to Mariahilfer Strasse, the more so.
Even after this phase, the area remained the film district, and it was not until the "Anschluss" to Germany in 1938 and the subsequent destruction of the film industry, which was mostly run by Jews, that the history of the film district came to an end.
Today there are only a few branches of national and international companies active in the film industry on Neubaugasse and adjacent streets such as Mariahilfer Strasse and Siebensterngasse. In addition, the industry as a whole is much more concentrated on a few dominant companies, while before 1938 dozens of film distributors and producers divided up the market. Film equipment companies and other specialized companies were also concentrated in Neubaugasse at that time.
Flea markets
Twice a year, on a weekend, there is a flea market that stretches across the entire Neubaugasse. This is then blocked for vehicle traffic.
Art project "delete"
In June 2005 an art project called delete took place in Neubaugasse , which attracted great public attention. It was a project by the artist duo Steinbrener / Dempf , which covered all advertising and billboards in part of the Neubaugasse with yellow foils for a period of two weeks.
