Right Wienzeile

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The right Wienzeile in Vienna , in the 4th district, Wieden , in the 5th district, Margareten and in the 12th district, Meidling , runs directly on the right, southern bank of the (partially vaulted) Wien River or the underground railway accompanying the river to the south -Line U4 , - shown according to their house numbers (orientation numbers, ONr.), From the Karlsplatz traffic junction on the edge of the city center upstream to the west. From the point of view of car traffic, the street is in two sections, but not continuous (in the opposite direction to the ascending house numbers), part of the so-called “ west entrance” into the city center from the west motorway A1 from Salzburg and Linz , which ends on the western outskirts. The street is a one-way east where it is a thoroughfare; Its counterpart to the journey out of town is the Linke Wienzeile on the left bank of the Wien River.

Wienzeile is part of Wiener Straße  (B1).

In the urban area of ​​Vienna, the river runs almost entirely in a deep concrete bed built between 1895 and 1899. The construction was carried out at the same time as that of the Viennese light rail line , which accompanies the river here on its right, southern side in a low position.

Otto Wagner , the architectural designer of the Stadtbahn, advocated using the opportunity to vault the Wien River from Karlsplatz to Schönbrunn Palace , the emperor's summer residence in the 13th district, and to build a boulevard; however, the vaulting was only realized over 2.1 km in the central city area and on a small section near the Margaretengürtel (see: Vienna River Bridges ).

The result was not a Wienzeile , as Wagner had hoped , but two streets with this name were laid out around 1900: on both sides of the largely open-flowing Wien River. The Rechten Wienzeile was officially named in 1905. However, it was only partially expanded into a thoroughfare in the 1930s; in other parts it is still a side street to this day (in contrast to the completely expanded Linke Wienzeile).

Around 1960, traffic from the west to the city center was still running through Linzer Strasse and Mariahilfer Strasse , because the streets on the Vienna River in the 13th and 14th districts connecting to the west of the two Wienzeilen were not yet developed. (Before the Vienna river regulation, frequent flooding was the main reason why main roads were not laid out near the river.) Twenty years later, the two Wienzeilen functioned as main roads.

Location and traffic

The right Wienzeile begins, seen in the direction of travel to the city center, with its highest house number, No. 253, at the northern end of Grünbergstrasse or on the western edge of the 12th district at the Schönbrunner Bridge at the Schönbrunn underground station . There it only serves as an entrance to the properties No. 229-253 and as a cycle path. In the direction of the city, it continues in the width of a cycle and footpath to the Meidling Hauptstrasse underground station , which interrupts its course.

To the east of this station is not the Recht Wienzeile, but the Schönbrunner Straße almost to the stair bridge / subway station Längenfeldgasse, right next to the subway and the river. Next to the underground station there is a sidewalk to Kobingergasse, on which the rights Wienzeile 209, 207 and other properties are located. The right bank of the river is taken up here by subway systems and green spaces; this is followed by the zone in which the belt , roughly speaking, running in north-south direction , the busiest city street in Vienna, crosses the Wiental: to the west is the sixth-south-traveled road called Sechshauser belt / Gaudenzdorfer belt , east of it the north-driven road Margaret belt / Gumpendorfer belt . The river is vaulted in this zone.

Only after that, east of the Margaretengürtel subway station , in the 5th district at the corner of St.-Johann-Gasse at number 175, an address for the right Wienzeile appears in the electronic city map of the Vienna city administration. Here, too, there is only a driveway interrupted by a section of bike and footpath to property no. 145–175. Plots no. 117–123 also have access of this type, most of the intermediate ones only from the parallel Schönbrunner Strasse, where through traffic runs from the west. (The footpath and bike path run continuously.)

From No. 107 to the east, the Recht Wienzeile then functions as part of the west entrance to the city, whose traffic there is directed from Schönbrunner Strasse through the short Redergasse to Wienzeile. From no. 67 (the beginning of the vaulting of the river) to no. 49, the Recht Wienzeile is again only a footpath, a bike path and the entrance to the house; the bend in the river will be cut off from the short Hamburgerstrasse for through traffic.

From No. 47 (via No. 39, from now on in the 4th district and on the left or north of the Naschmarkt ) to No. 1A at the corner of Operngasse 18 and Karlsplatz , the Recht Wienzeile is then again a thoroughfare. On the center side, the beginning or end of the right Wienzeile forms the confluence of the Getreidemarkt , which also marks the border between the 4th and 1st district.

At the northern edge of the Rechte Wienzeile ten bridges and footbridges over the Wien River as well as two arches of the river adjoin (see Vienna Vienna River Bridges ).

To the north, on the river side, there are five stations of the U4 underground line , which runs on the route of the former Vienna light rail. Four of them have existed since 1898/1899, one, Längenfeldgasse , was opened in 1989. On the Rechten Wienzeile itself there are only small sections of regular bus service.

Addresses

Since the Right Wienzeile is accompanied by the river or the U-Bahn on the left or north in the direction of travel, it only has odd house numbers, which are usually on the left (according to the direction of travel: right), southern side of the street. Only in the area of ​​the Pilgramgasse substation and the vault on which the Naschmarkt is located are there a few straight orientation numbers.
