The Radetzkystraße located on the 3rd Vienna district , highway . It was named after Field Marshal Josef Wenzel Radetzky von Radetz from the Vienna River eastwards before 1864 and extended in 1909 by the section from Radetzkyplatz to Franzensbrücke; this part was called Prager Reichsstraße until 1909.
history
The district was created in 1850 when dozens of suburbs were incorporated into the city of Vienna. These included the suburb of Weißgerber , which borders the Wien River and the Danube Canal . Radetzkystraße was laid out on the site of the former Pfefferhof in this suburb (an inn with a large garden), and a cross street was called Pfefferhofgasse . The street was rebuilt in 1860, in 1864 it was already listed in the Vienna address book and originally it only led from the Wien River to Radetzkyplatz . The Vienna River Bridge that adjoins the city center has been called the Radetzky Bridge since 1869 .
In 1909 a now isolated section of the historic Prager (Reichs-) Straße leading north from Radetzkyplatz was incorporated into Radetzkystraße. Since then, this has extended to Franzensbrücke over the Danube Canal, where Franzensbrückenstraße connects to the Praterstern traffic junction in the 2nd district on the other bank of the river . This renaming or inclusion was necessary not least because of the incorporation of Floridsdorf in 1905 , as there were then (until 1909) three streets called Prager Straße . (The third, also isolated section in the 2nd district has been called Alliiertenstrasse since 1909.)
The section of Radetzkystraße, which is closer to the city center, has been in the outer zone of the historical center of Vienna, a world cultural heritage site, since 2001 .
Location and characteristics
Radetzkystraße is an elongated street, broken at an obtuse angle at Radetzkyplatz , which has a fairly uniform structural character. The course of the road begins vis-a-vis the Urania on the other side of the confluence of the Wien River in the Danube Canal, directly following the Radetzky Bridge. The beginning of the street is accentuated by the building of the Viennese rescue company and leads in the first section through a closed line of an ensemble of four-story early historical apartment buildings from the 1860s. The street fronts are divided into a grid on both sides and decorated with early historical architectural ornamentation. In the further course of Radetzkystraße from Radetzkyplatz to Franzensbrücke, the street scene is much more uneven.

The Trinity Column was erected after 1683 to commemorate a Trinity Chapel that was destroyed during the Ottoman siege .

The column is a listed building .

The building of the central medical station in Radetzkystraße was built between 1897 and 1899 by the architects Ferdinand Hrach and F. von Gruber and engineer Franz Böck with the Union building company .

No. 15–17: community center

In the direction of Radetzkyplatz, the facade has round bay windows with caryatids. In the three central axes and in the corner axes, the facade is given rhythm by supraports. In terms of urban development, this building forms an important part of the Radetzkyplatz ensemble.
No. 19: community center
The house was built in 1879 by Karl Quidenus for Karl Bley. The facade facing the square has a monumental facade with elements of the neo-Renaissance style.

No. 24–26: community center
The building was erected between 1847 and 1849 according to plans submitted by the master builder Josef Kastan for the city master builder and architect Mat (t) hias Vlasz († July 9, 1887). The corner solution is tower-like with vertically combined and connected window axes. The planned decor was not implemented. Overall, it is considered a remarkably early example of the inclusion of neo-Gothic forms in apartment buildings. The traditional coffee Urania on the ground floor at No. 24, corner of Obere Weißgerberstraße, was closed in 2016. After renovations between 2015 and 2018, the house is to be demolished in 2018 for reasons of speculation and the new building regulations coming into force from July 1, 2018 (to protect Wilhelminian style houses). There is resistance to the demolition of the architecturally significant building; the demolition did not take place until the end of 2019.

Tram traffic
Radetzkystraße has been part of the Vienna tram network since 1873 ; At that time, the horse-drawn tram line from Urania through Radetzkystraße to Löwengasse was opened. This line was electrified in 1898, and in 1902 the connection from Radetzkyplatz to Praterstern was created.
On the city center side, it connects to Franz-Josefs-Kai or Uraniastraße and the former double line ; in the other direction it connects over the Franzensbrücke to the Praterstern and through the Löwengasse into the Prater . Today these connections are served by lines O (read: o) and 1. For so-called short tours of the lines, a track loop is available around the block of houses at the Radetzkystraße grammar school.
