Ober-St.-Veit (official spelling of the City of Vienna with hyphens; often without reading them) is a district part of Vienna's 13th district, Hietzing , and one of the 89 Viennese cadastral communities . The historical place, officially mentioned for the first time in 1015, formed the municipality of St. Veit an der Wien from 1850–1870 with Unter-St.-Veit, which emerged in its foreland after 1800, and was then an independent municipality in the crown land of Austria under the Enns until 1890/1892 .

geography

Limits:

The small area belonging to the cadastral municipality of Ober St. Veit ( see above !) To the east of the connecting railway, which is bordered by Beckgasse and Mühlbachergasse, is not perceived as part of Ober-St.-Veit today. It is much closer to the town center and the Unter-St.-Veit subway station than their Ober-St.-Veiter counterparts.

history

Parish church on Wolfrathplatz
Interior of the parish church

In 1969 a paleolithic settlement was found in what is today Ober-St.-Veit, which is the oldest trace of human life in Vienna (around 20,000 to 25,000 years old). The first documentary mention is a donation from Emperor Heinrich II. To the Bamberg Cathedral Brothers from 1015. Other names for St. Veit were Godtinesfeld , An der Wien and Auf der Wien . St. Veit suffered under the troops of Matthias Corvinus in the 15th century and was devastated during the first Turkish siege of Vienna in 1529 and the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683.

In 1762, Archbishop Cardinal Migazzi sold the castle and estate of St. Vitus to Empress Maria Theresa ; she had the road connection from Schönbrunn laid here, which has been called Hietzinger Hauptstrasse since 1894 and was previously called St. Veit Theresiengasse, later Maria-Theresien-Strasse, on the open field between St. Veit and Alt-Hietzing St. Veiter Gasse or . Street. In 1779 the archbishop bought both back. He and his three successors until 1848 remained landlords until the general abolition of the landlords.

The castle in Ober-St.-Veit was later used as the summer residence of the archbishops. In the vicinity of the castle, agricultural and craft businesses settled. In the beginning, the focus was on viticulture . This became more and more difficult due to regular dry periods and the phylloxera infestation , so that the dairy industry prevailed in the 19th century (more than 150 cows, 2 large dairies : the Glasauer and Wimpissinger families). From then until the year-round residential villas were built, Ober-St.-Veit was a preferred summer retreat near Vienna by the nobility and wealthy citizens.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the archbishop, as landlord, enabled a new settlement between St. Veit and Hietzing: what would later become Unter-St.-Veit . Mainly commercial enterprises and craftsmen settled there. Between the two parts of the community of St. Veit an der Wien , which was founded in 1850, conflicts of interest soon arose, which led the two settlements to seek separation. In 1867, the year of the compromise between Austria and Hungary , the separation was approved by the Lower Austrian provincial government. It then took more than two years before the separation became effective in 1870: Taxpaying companies had argued for a long time over the border between Upper and Lower St. Veit.

On January 1, 1892, both communities were incorporated into Vienna and parts of the 13th district , which was named after the capital Hietzing. The parish hall for St. Veit and Ober-St.-Veit, built in 1857, was located at Hietzinger Hauptstrasse 164 until 1891. The house was demolished around 1970 and replaced in 1992–1994 by an extension to the elementary school.

Around the year of incorporation, the area no longer used for viticulture and agriculture began to be built up, especially with villas, as was previously the case in Hietzing . This made Ober-St.-Veit one of Vienna's posh districts. In 1904, Mayor Karl Lueger applied for a forest and meadow belt on the outskirts of the city. Since 1905 Ober-St.-Veit has been located in a protected green area, which also includes the Himmelhof . From 1897 to 1899 this was the seat of the artist community "Humanitas" of the painter and cultural reformer Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach .

In Ober-St.-Veit, Vienna's Austria (formerly Amateure) had its first stadium of its own near today's underground station. It was opened in 1914, expanded in 1922 and used by Austria until 1931.

From 1945 to 1955 Ober-St.-Veit was in the British sector of Vienna .
