The Schaumburgergrund was an independent municipality until 1850 and is now a district of Vienna in the 4th district of Wieden .
geography
The boundaries of the former Schaumburgergrund extend today from Favoritenstrasse over Rainergasse to Schaumburgergasse , from there to Wiedner Hauptstrasse , over Schönburgstrasse again up to Rainergasse, further up to the Gürtel over Johann-Strauss-Gasse and over Schelleingasse . The Wiedner Gürtel finally meets the Favoritenstrasse again.
The Schaumburgergrund is the namesake of the six counting districts of the same name in the municipality.
history
The area around the Schaumburgergrund was originally called Am praiten Anger and Am Silbereck . The financial expert Gundaker Thomas Starhemberg bought 38 properties in the Wieden between 1700 and 1711. From 1705–1706 he had the Schönburg Palace built at (today's) Rainergasse 11 and a magnificent garden based on designs by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt . In 1711 he bought other grounds that had previously belonged to Favorita Castle . The entire complex was built in 1716 by Emperor Charles VI. raised to a Freihof . This was named Schaumburgergrund after the corrupted names of the previous owners of the grounds, the Count of Schaunberg , who died out in 1559 .
The officer Anton Gundacker von Starhemberg sold the palace and a third of the garden in 1811. He had the remaining two thirds divided into 93 building plots, which he auctioned in 1813. The development of these properties created a new suburb, which retained the name of Freihof Schaumburgergrund and was under the rule of the Starhemberg family until 1848. The streets of (today's) Rainergasse, Schönburgstrasse, Kolschitzkygasse, Graf-Starhemberg-Gasse, Schaumburgergasse and Schelleingasse were built.
The three suburbs of Wieden , Schaumburgergrund and Hungelbrunn were finally combined in 1850 to form today's 4th district of Wieden. The Starhemberger coat of arms is part of today's Wiedner coat of arms.
coat of arms
The coat of arms of the Schaumberggrund shows the Stephansturm on a red background , surrounded by the Starhemberg count's crown. This stands for the defense of Vienna in 1683 by Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg , who owned the Freihaus on the Wieden .
