The Puchsbaumgasse is an alley in the 10th Vienna district, favorites . It was named in 1872, then in the 4th district , after the master builder of Sankt Stephan , Hans Puchsbaum . Since 1874, Favoriten has been an independent 10th district.
Course and characteristics
Puchsbaumgasse, which is populated from west to east, runs from Reumannplatz in the center of the district (it begins behind the Amalienbad ) to the east or south-east to the rising Laaer Wald . Its southeastern end is at the intersection of the alley with an industrial railway from the eastern railway to the former anchor bread factory . Beyond the track, the alley that leads through the Bohemian Prater to the crest of the Laaer Wald recreation area continues under the name Laaer Wald.
Since the alley is tangential to the city center, the house numbers were assigned starting in the east (clockwise); the number 64 is on the corner of Reumannplatz. East of Absberggasse was obviously numbered much later; In any case, there are only house numbers 1 and 2 with subdivisions. West of Absberggasse, Puchsbaumgasse is a one-way street and is located in a purely residential area. It is not used by public transport. There is a green area on Puchsbaumplatz , which is roughly in the middle of the course of Puchsbaumgasse.
