The Rosenhügel is a 258 m high hill in the southwest of Vienna .
geography
The Rosenhügel is located on the western edge of the Vienna Basin near the Vienna Woods . In the north of the close Küniglberg and the hill of the Gloriette in the Schönbrunn Palace on. In the south, separated by the Rosenberggraben, lies the Steinberg . The western and central part of the rose hill is marked by the geological level Sarmatian , while the southeastern slope is counted to the younger geological level Pannonian .
The northern and western parts of the hill belong to the 13th district of Hietzing , the eastern part to the 12th district of Meidling and the southern part to the 23rd district of Liesing . The Hietzinger part of the Rosenhügels lies in the district parts Rosenberg and Speising , the Meidling part in the district part Hetzendorf and the Liesinger part in the district parts Mauer and Atzgersdorf . The borders of the three districts of Vienna take place at the Rose Hill in 241 m along height. The highest point of the Rosenhügel is located southwest of it near the intersection of Rosenhügelstrasse and Bertégasse.
history
The rose hill takes its name from the extensive rose cultures that used to be at this point. The construction of the hill went hand in hand with its partial incorporation into Vienna. First in 1892 the north fell to Vienna with the previously independent communities of Hetzendorf and Speising. In 1908 the small cadastral community of Rosenberg followed, and finally in 1938 with Atzgersdorf and Mauer the last remaining parts of Lower Austria .
The rose hill plays an important role in the history of broadcasting in Austria. This is where RAVAG's major station Wien-Rosenhügel, which went into operation on January 30, 1926 (with three 85 m high masts) , was discontinued when the major station Wien-Bisamberg opened on May 28, 1933 and was finally removed from 1965.
Settlements
The residential area on the Rosenhügel is particularly characterized by villas on the southern slope. There are also community buildings and three uniformly laid out settlements from the 1920s. The Rosenhügel settlement is one of the largest cooperative settlements in Vienna. It lies in the Hetzendorfer section of the Rosenhügel, with the Rosenhügelstrasse as the main axis. This row house settlement was built between 1921 and 1927 according to plans by the architects Emil Krause and Hugo Mayer as part of the garden city movement and was designed for self-catering . The artists' settlement on the western slope is significantly smaller . It is a cooperative row house settlement for penniless artists built from 1922 to 1924 according to plans by Emil Krause, whose demands were met through high studio windows on the upper floors. The allotment garden Rosenhügel, which has 281 parcels, has existed in the southwest since 1921. Condominiums , a kindergarten and a supermarket will also be built on the site of the former Rosenhügel film studios by the end of 2017 under the name Der Rosenhügel . This is an urban development project by the City of Vienna .
Important structures
The large, greened area of the Rosenhügel water reservoir, built between 1870 and 1873, marks the end point of the first Viennese high spring water pipeline , which reaches the Rosenhügel via the Speising aqueduct . The reservoir is one of the oldest structures on the hill.
The Rosenhügel film studios in Mauer, which are significant in terms of film history , were built by Vita-Film from 1919 to 1923 . At the time of their opening, they were considered the largest and most modern film studios in Austria. There are several hospitals to the north. The Rosenhügel Neurological Center started operations in 1912 as the Nathaniel Freiherr von Rothschild Foundation for the Mentally Ill . The Vinzenz Gruppe's Orthopedic Hospital Speising, which is still further north, was opened in 1910 as an educational facility for the school brothers . Other health facilities include the Rosenhügel Neurological Rehabilitation Center, which was built from 1998 to 2002 according to plans by the architect Franz Fehringer and is operated by the social insurance institute for the commercial sector , and the Rosenberg retirement home operated by the KWP .
The Hietzinger Bad, opened in 1978, and two schools are also located on the western slope: the Bergheidengasse Higher Education Institute for Business Professions and Tourism, opened in 1990, and the Federal Institute for Deaf Education, which is housed in a building built in 1980. In the east, already at the foothills of the Rosenhügel, the south-west cemetery is Vienna's second largest cemetery in terms of area.
