history

Origin of name

Salmannsdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1279 as Salmanstorf . The name derives from the personal names Salman (s) or the professional name of Salmanns , a trustee or writer of Salbuches ( land registry ) from. The popular derivation of the name from the Ottoman Sultan Suleyman I, which is still common today . ("Soliman"), under whose command Vienna was besieged unsuccessfully by Ottoman troops in 1529 ( First Turkish siege of Vienna ), however, belongs to the realm of legends.

Salmannsdorf in modern times

The location of Salmannsdorf suggests a planned layout of the village, whereby the place developed into a typical Weinhauergasse village. In 1680 the place already had 30 houses, but further development was hampered by the terrible devastation of the Turks in the course of the second Turkish siege of Vienna . In 1683 Salmannsdorf was completely destroyed. Two major fires continued to affect the place. When the village again consisted of 18 houses with 118 residents in 1713, the plague killed 74 of them. 120 years later the place had hardly developed any further. The growth did not begin until the middle of the 19th century, similar to the summer resort in neighboring Neustift am Walde . However, Salmannsdorf visited the less well-to-do, including the family of Johann Strauss (father) from 1829 to 1832. A plaque on the house at Dreimarksteingasse 13 still reminds us today that Johann Strauss (son) wrote his first waltz here. In 1890, 312 people lived in Salmannsdorf in 94 houses. In 1892 Salmannsdorf was finally incorporated into Vienna as the Währing district together with Neustift am Walde, Währing , Weinhaus , Gersthof and Pötzleinsdorf . The Sommerhaidenweg , built in 1901, leads through Salmannsdorf. In 1938, however, Salmannsdorf was added to the 19th district of Döbling through a reorganization of the district structures together with Neustift am Walde.

economy

The distribution of the corridors at the beginning of the 19th century suggests a strong dependency on forest and wine use . In 1826, two thirds of the land area was covered by forest, which belonged to Klosterneuburg Abbey . Another 15 percent of the area was meadows, about seven percent vineyards. Fruit and arable farming, on the other hand, played almost no role. The residents lived mainly from the sale of wine, fruit and dairy products. However, the dairy industry already lost its importance in the 19th century, it remained the wine that was and is served in the Heurigen . With around two hectares of vineyards, Salmannsdorf is one of Vienna's smaller wine-growing regions .

traffic

Originally there was a switching car connection to Salmannsdorf, the city-side endpoints of which often changed. The operators also changed several times for financial reasons. However, this line was the only parking wagon line subsidized by the City of Vienna. In 1908, a trolleybus line based on the Mercédès-Électrique-Stoll system from Pötzleinsdorf via Neustift am Walde to Salmannsdorf, the trackless railway Pötzleinsdorf-Salmannsdorf , was opened by the Vienna community's automobile Stellwagen company . As one of the longest-lived lines according to this system, it was only replaced by a bus line with the line designation 23 in 1938 , but this was completely discontinued the following year.

In 1928 a bus line of the Viennese city trams was opened via Krottenbachstrasse to Neustift and Salmannsdorf, because a tram connection would have been too expensive to build (from 1935 line 20). Because of war-important operations on the line, this line was the last bus line in Vienna that was still in operation during the Second World War . In 1942 the conversion to electrical operation began. From 1946 the place was again served by trolleybuses when the trolleybus line 22 from the Währinger Gürtel to Salmannsdorf went into operation. In 1958 there was finally a return to bus service. The line designation was 22 from 1946 to 1961, 39A until 1972 and 35A until today. Today this leads from the Spittelau station via Krottenbachstraße and Neustift am Walde to the final stop at Salmannsdorf.
