Großjedlersdorf has been part of the 21st Viennese district Floridsdorf since 1905 .

geography

Großjedlersdorf extends over an area of ​​595.84 ha , of which 373.55 ha are in the cadastral community Großjedlersdorf I and 222.29 ha in the cadastral community Großjedlersdorf II (also called Neujedlersdorf ). The border between the two cadastral communities runs roughly along the line Lundenburger Gasse - Shuttleworthstrasse. The straight Brünner Straße forms a striking connecting element of the district.

In the north Großjedlersdorf borders on Stammersdorf , in the east on the Leopoldau and Donaufeld , in the south on the Floridsdorf district and in the west on Jedlesee and Strebersdorf . A section of the Marchfeld Canal runs through Großjedlersdorf .

In the spelling of Groß-Jedlersdorf there is also a counting district of official statistics comprising two counting districts, the area of ​​which, however, is limited to a narrow strip along Brünner Strasse.

history

Map of the community of Groß-Jedlersdorf in 1821

Jedlersdorf arose on an island that was formed by the branches of the Danube in a north-south direction in the Marchfeld . This body of water ran from Strebersdorf via Jedlersdorf, north of Floridsdorf, and grazed Leopoldau before meeting the Danube again. Until the 19th century, the remains of the side arm were recognizable as cattle drifts and in the form of ponds and moats. The two village ponds of Jedlersdorf, the Bernreiterteich (in the north of the town center, today the Bernreiterplatz car park) and the Haspingerteich (in the south, today the park), came from this branch.

The first written mention of the place as Urliugestorf (urliuge = battle) falls in the year 1108, in the "Salbuch" of a Klosterneuburg document. Rudolf von Habsburg donated the place to the Dominican convent in Tulln in 1280 and was in its possession until 1792. The place was mostly called Jetldorf at that time .

During the first Turkish siege of Vienna in 1529, Jedlersdorf was destroyed and rebuilt. Since 1538 the place had its own parish, since 1766 its own school. In 1683 Jedlersdorf was set on fire by the Turks during the second Turkish siege of Vienna .

In 1713/14 Jedlersdorf shrank to 37 inhabitants in the plague disaster . In thanks for the end of the catastrophe, the St. Karl Borromeo wooden chapel is built, which was destroyed in a fire in 1745. In 1764 the chapel was rebuilt and expanded.

After the Tulln women's monastery was closed by Joseph II , Jedlersdorf passed into the administration of the Imperial and Royal State Property Administration and topographical changes occurred: the Jedlersdorfer pasture grounds between Prager and Brünner Strasse were parceled out and sold to Neusiedler in 1782. The newly created settlement was called Kleinjedlersdorf or Jedlersdorf am Spitz and initially consisted of 15 houses. At that time, where the Magistrate District Office rises, was the community inn. The village of Am Spitz was part of Jedlersdorf until 1804, but was then separated from the mother community and remained independent until 1874, when it was united with Floridsdorf.

With the establishment of the Wiener Lokomotiv-Fabriks-Actien-Gesellschaft in Neujedlersdorf (today's area of ​​the North Shopping Center) in 1869, a new era began, which continued in 1886 with the opening of the steam tramway lines Vienna ( across from Roßauer Kaserne ) - Floridsdorf - Stammersdorf has been. In the same year the marshalling yard (today remise of the Wiener Linien ) is built in Peitlgasse (Neujedlersdorf) . With the construction of the Nordwestbahn , Jedlersdorf gets its own train station ( Jedlersdorf transito ) on this line (since 1841 as Jedlesee station on the wing railway to Stockerau, from 1887 the station is only called Jedlersdorf ). With the construction of the Nordwestbahn, the development of Jedlersdorf into an industrial location begins - especially along Brünner Strasse in the area of ​​the Nordbahnkreuzung. In 1873–74, staff residences are built for the staff of the Nordwestbahn on the route ( Nordwestbahn-Colonie ).

In 1894 Neujedlersdorf (south of the Brünner Straße rapid transit station) was separated and added to the greater municipality of Floridsdorf. The northern (older) part of Jedlersdorf remained independent (Großjedlersdorf) and was only included in the newly created 21st district of Vienna in 1904. The last mayor before incorporation was Franz Bernreiter (1842–1914).

From January 18, 1910, tram line 31 (later 331) with the Augarten - Floridsdorf am Spitz - Floridsdorfer Lokomotivfabrik (Neujedlersdorf, Brünner Straße, today Shopping Center Nord-SCN) is no longer operated with steam, but with electricity. In 1911 the remaining route via Großjedlersdorf to Stammersdorf was switched from steam to electric cars.

In 1925 the first residential buildings of the Vienna housing program were erected in Mitterhofergasse, and construction of the Franz-Bretschneider -Hof began as early as 1924 (architects Gustav Schläfrig and Hermann Reiser).

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Großjedlersdorf consists of two white crossed sacks over a red background. It stands for the agriculture that was carried out in Jedlersdorf and is now integrated in the Floridsdorf district coat of arms - see picture. Street names like Schwemmäckergasse still bear witness to this rural past.

Attractions

The trill cross

Trill cross

From old maps it can be seen that the cross donated by the court inspector Andreas Triller and his wife was in Jedlersdorf in the open field next to the country road (today Brünner Straße) "at the old Vietrift".

The former base was the grinding stone of a ship's mill. The 3.20 meter high square column belongs to the group of the baroque Arma Christ crosses, which have become rare today, and dates from the middle of the 17th century. The pillar is decorated with the handkerchief of penitent Veronica , the tools of the Passion and with geometric ornaments, above which there are reliefs on a stone cube (crucifixion, scenes of the Mount of Olives, Mater Dolorosa with sword), crowned with a cross.

After the wayside shrine had been walled in for a long time in the niche of a house on Brünner Strasse, it was put up in 1967 after careful restoration by the academic sculptor Rudolf Schwaiger at its current location (Brünner Strasse 97-99).

The Trillergasse and the Trillerpark shopping center were named after this Großjedlersdorf landmark.

Trinity Column

A column erected at a crossroads in 1776 as the bearer of a typical “mercy seat” (God the Father holds the crucified Christ in his hands) on a four-sided plinth adorned with coat of arms.
