history

Vasquez: Map of Ortisei, ca.1830

The street already existed around 1100 in the area of ​​the former suburb of St. Ulrich - Zeismannsbrunn along the Ottakringerbach . The adjoining street village of Neustift is mentioned in a document in the 14th century. Around 1550 houses were built above today's Kirchengasse, which before 1621 became an independent community of Neustift. Original names were Am Platzel, Herrengasse, Kapuzinergasse, Stadelgasse.

At today's Augustinplatz (area of ​​the intersection with Kellermanngasse) straw was sold twice a week (hence the name Strohplatzl until 1862) and the Neustift market also took place here.

In 1862 the uniform name Neustiftgasse was given.

In 1780 the street was extended to Kaiserstraße , after the abandonment and demolition of the line wall in 1896 it was extended to the Gürtel.

description

Neustiftgasse begins on Museumstrasse. Right at the beginning is the Volkstheater on the left and opposite the monument to Ferdinand Raimund in Weghuber Park . Subsequent to the Palais Trautson -based Ministry of Justice Mechitaristenkirche Maria is protection on the north side. The road runs in a straight line to the intersection with Kirchengasse / Kellermanngasse; In the area of ​​the intersection, it widens on the north side in the form of an elongated triangular square (Augustinplatz). Immediately in front of it, on the opposite side between houses No. 25, 27 and 29 on the one hand and No. 31 on the other, is the funnel-shaped entrance to St. Ulrichs-Platz.

At the Kirchengasse / Kellermanngasse intersection, Neustiftgasse makes a slight bend to the right, and from then on runs in a straight line to the Lerchenfelder Gürtel . After the bridge over the route of the U6 subway , the street continues on Koppstraße.

The entire street is closed on both sides, largely from historicism ; There are only a few buildings from the Baroque and Biedermeier periods.

Green areas are only sparse. After the Weghuberpark in front of the Palais Trautson there is only a landscaped area in the Augustinplatz area.
