history

  • Kk Polizey district Alservorstadt

  • Kk Polizey district Rossau

Already in the Middle Ages there was a path in the area of ​​today's Nussdorfer Straße that led from Schottentor via Währinger Straße to Klosterneuburg. From 1721 the street in the real sense can be traced. The upper part (house numbers 51 to 75) was only built after the Kühtreiber'schen brick kiln grounds had been parceled out in 1815. In 1866–1867 the road was re-routed and the steep incline eased. When in 1862 the street was named after the destination Nussdorf , both the Obere Hauptstraße and the part of the street Am Alserbach between Währinger Straße and the bow of the Alserbach to the east (today Alserbachstraße) were included.

Until it was incorporated into Vienna in 1850, the street formed the border between the suburbs Alservorstadt and Michelbeuern as well as Himmelpfortgrund , Thurygrund and Lichtental .

Franz Schubert was born in 1797 in the house at Nussdorfer Strasse 54 .

After 1879 the market hall Nussdorfer Straße was built in the gusset between Nussdorfer Straße and Alserbachstraße .

On October 19, 1869, a horse-drawn railway line was opened through Nussdorfer Strasse. From January 28, 1897, the section between Währinger Strasse and Alserbachstrasse was electrified, and from January 1902 the rest of the line was also electrified.

description

Location, course, characteristics

Nussdorfer Straße begins as an extension of Spitalgasse at the intersection with Währinger Straße and initially runs in a straight line to the junction with Alserbachstraße, which follows the former course of the now canalized Alserbach in an approximately eastern direction to the Danube Canal .

The Nussdorfer Straße, on the other hand, runs past the market hall from here upwards in a slight left curve. In the area of ​​Canisiusgasse it flattens out and is now almost straight, only slightly curved, to the intersection with the Währinger Gürtel and Heiligenstädter Straße . After crossing under the viaduct of the former Viennese light rail (now the U6 underground line ), the street continues in Döblinger Hauptstraße .

In accordance with the location in the inner-city area, Nussdorfer Straße is built continuously closed. For the most part, the building fabric dates from the time of Viennese historicism , partly with later secessionist-influenced buildings and also with modern buildings in between. Especially in the area around Schubert- and Canisiusgasse there are still houses from the Biedermeier period , some from even older periods, including Schubert's birthplace (No. 54). Even further out of town there is still building fabric from these periods.

There is practically no green on the entire street, apart from the Arne-Karlsson-Park opposite the beginning of Nussdorfer Straße . Otherwise there is only a small green area at the junction of the escape alley.

traffic

Due to its continuation in Döblinger Hauptstrasse and the Billrothstrasse branching off from it on the one hand and the connection to Heiligenstädter Strasse on the other hand, Nussdorfer Strasse is a connection from the city center and the southern inner districts to the entire 19th district, but also via Donaukanal Strasse , the north bridge and the Danube bank autobahn further to the north-west of Vienna. It is as Main Street A classified.

Coming from Schottentor , tram lines 37 (to Hohen Warte ) and 38 (to Grinzing ) open up Nussdorfer Strasse in its entire length. Tram lines 5 (from Westbahnhof to Praterstern ) and 33 (from underground station Josefstädter Straße to Friedrich-Engels-Platz ) also run from Währinger Straße to Alserbachstraße .

At the beginning of the street there is access to tram lines 40, 41 and 42, which run on Währinger Straße.At the other end, a few meters away on Währinger Gürtel, there is the Nußdorfer Straße underground station (line U6) and bus stops 35A and 37A . The 40A bus line crossing from Alserbachstrasse to Sechsschimmelgasse (direction Döblinger Friedhof) or Fuchsthallergasse (direction Schottenring) offers a further connection to the city center and to the 18th and 19th districts.

Almost the entire length of the tram's track is shielded from private traffic by lines and restricted areas , in some cases also by Stuttgart sleepers . For reasons of space, cycle lanes or multi-purpose lanes are only possible from Währinger Straße to Alserbachstraße, in the north direction a little further to Bindergasse.

Remarks

  1. ↑ With the municipal council resolution of December 17, 1999, the principles of the Vienna Nomenclature Commission were added to the spelling of traffic area designations and geographical names to the effect that the new spelling is generally used. The changed spelling on street boards, orientation number boards and the like as well as in personal documents is only to be taken into account in the case of new installation or reissue. For this reason, the spelling Nussdorfer Straße is still widely used .
