The Reisenberg , colloquially On Cobenzl called, is a mountain in the 19th Vienna district Döbling .
geography
The Reisenberg is a 382 meter high mountain in front of the Latisberg . It is located in a northeastern branch of the Eastern Alps and is geologically part of the flysch zone , which is composed of quartz and sand-lime stones , marl and other sediments .
history
The origin of the name of the Reisenberg comes either from the brushwood (young wood) on the mountain or from the "traveler mountain", that is, a mountain on which soil often slips. The Reisenberg was first mentioned in history in 1238 as Reysenperge , when Zwettl Abbey was already doing viticulture here . In the 14th century, vineyards belonging to Klosterneuburg Abbey were mentioned here. In the 16th century, Emperor Rudolf II handed over the grounds of the extinct monastery of the Poor Clares in Grinzing with the village and mountain court to the order of the Jesuits, and in the 17th century these also acquired the vineyard area of the Klosterneuburg monastery on the Reisenberg. Two small castles were built on the Reisenberg to allow the religious to relax.
After the Jesuit order was repealed by the Pope on August 21, 1773 , Count Johann Philipp Cobenzl acquired the land on the Reisenberg. He had the Jesuit houses on the Reisenberg converted into a castle and also built a dairy. The property was opened to the public and the dairy products were sold in town. This made the property very popular, and the Reisenberg was soon simply called Cobenzl in the vernacular. After the Count's death in 1810, the area changed hands several times. Under Baron Franz Simon Pfaff von Pfaffenhofen, the father of Franz Simon von Pfaffenhofen , Johann Strauss (father) played in the castle. In 1835, Karl von Reichenbach converted the castle into a research station. However, due to economic difficulties, Reichenbach was unable to hold the castle; In 1855 Johann Freiherr von Sothen , a bigoted and generally hated speculator and lottery operator, acquired the property. As early as 1849 von Sothen had acquired the run-down "Schloss Belle Vue" on the Bellevue-Höhe in front of the Reisenberg. Further to the west he had the Sisi Chapel built in "Himmel" ( Pfaffenberg ) in 1854–56 ; In 1867 he acquired and renovated the Waldgasthof am Krapfenwaldl . In 1895 Sigmund Freud spent a summer as a guest of the Ritter von Schlag family at "Belle Vue Palace". On the night of July 23rd to 24th, he had a dream which he was able to decipher for the first time as a wish-fulfillment and which he described as the “dream of Irma's injection” in his work The Interpretation of Dreams .
In 1887, Cobenzl Castle was acquired by a consortium and converted into a hotel. Since the Schlosshotel did not generate the expected turnover, it was sold to the City of Vienna in 1907. As early as 1905, the company had made the decision for a “high-altitude and panoramic road” and built a “dust-free automobile road” starting from Grinzing with serpentines on the Cobenzl, on which regular buses also ran from 1909. In the estate, also run by the City of Vienna, the focus was on agriculture and dairy farming to supply the city. In 1912 a restaurant-café was opened about 500 meters south of the castle hotel. From 1927 the castle hotel and the restaurant-café were leased to Hans Huebner . In 1937 the castle hotel was modernized according to the plans of the Viennese architect Anton Potyka . During the Second World War , the hotel served as a military hospital and as the command post of an anti-aircraft division and wooden barracks were built next to it. After that, both served as refugee camps until February 1951; the hotel came down more and more during the occupation . Finally, in 1966, the City of Vienna had the dilapidated castle hotel demolished. The restaurant-café was continued by the Hübner family as "Hübners Meierei Cobenzl" even after the war. In 1952, a café pavilion was built in front of the restaurant-café, again according to the plans of Anton Potyka (“Hübners Bar and Cafépavillon”), which was in operation until March 2017. The restaurant-café was run by the Hübner family until 1974. After that it stood empty and fell into disrepair. In 1980 the southern wing of the restaurant-cafés burned down. The property was taken over in 1983 by Olaf Auer, who reopened the café pavilion in the parking lot that same year. Three years later, on the site of the burned-down wing, a small baroque style castle was completed and opened as the “Auer Schloss Restaurant Cobenzl” and was in operation for 30 years. In 2012, the City of Vienna terminated the tenant Olaf Auer in order to renovate and lease the castle restaurant , which according to City Councilor Ulli Sima was " getting on in years". The Supreme Court confirmed the eviction action by the City of Vienna in December 2016 and the tenant had to finally evacuate the site on March 14, 2017.
In the late 1980s, the farm behind the castle was given a new head and wine-growing began to flourish. The company is now called "Weingut Wien Cobenzl". Since May 2005 it has been possible to celebrate a so-called “dream wedding” outside the registry office. Since 2003 the MA 49 ( Forestry Office and Agricultural Enterprise of the City of Vienna ) has been running the "Landgut Wien Cobenzl" behind the winery, a small farm with all kinds of animals, especially for children and young people, which is why it is also called "Children's Farm " is called.
