The Schiller water is 1400 meters long and up to 96 meters wide Altarm the Danube in 22 Wiener district Donaustadt .

location

The Schillerwasser is located in the south of the Donaustadt district of Aspern , north of the Donaustadt steam power station . The elongated body of water is bordered by the Kierischitzweg in the west and by the Biberhaufenweg in the southeast. Most of the north-eastern bank is on the Naufahrtweg. To the north-west of the Schillerwasser is the Kleiner Schilloch and to the southeast is the Alte Naufahrt , both of which are also branches of the Danube and are connected to the Schillerwasser via passages .

history

Originally, this area was a floodplain landscape through which different arms of the Danube, which was then still unregulated, flowed. As a result of the Viennese Danube regulation carried out from 1870 to 1875, the branches of the Danube, separated from the new river bed, became mostly stagnant bodies of water. The waters, which were still interconnected after the regulation, were separated from each other during the settlement of the area. At the beginning of the 20th century, a dam in the course of today's Kierischitzweg separated the Schillerwasser, which was then still called Alte Naufahrt, from the Kleiner Schilloch to the west. At today's southeastern end of the Schiller Water, Plant 30 was the end of a defense line consisting of 30 entrenchments , which was built in 1866 during the Austro-Prussian War . The expansion of today's Biberhaufenweg, which leads past this ski jump, finally separated the Schillerwasser from the Alte Nauffahrt located to the southeast.

Mid-20th century was the Great Schilloch, which now forms the western end of the Schiller water by sedimentation separated from it. The two bodies of water were only reunited after dredging in the second half of the 20th century. At the beginning of the 1970s, a bed dredging was carried out at the bridge along the Biberhaufenweg, which separates the Schillerwasser and the Alte Nauffahrt, in order to improve the flood discharge. Since 1979 and 1982, respectively, there have been two groundwater measuring points of the Hydrographic Service on the Schillerwasser near the intersection of Naufahrtweg and Husarenweg . A further decline in the water levels of the Danube bayous to prevent in this area and to raise the water table, a water management pilot program was begun in the 1980s under water from the New Danube in the Schiller water initiate .

Today the Schillerwasser is a natural bathing place listed by the City of Vienna. The Schillerwasser area of the Association of Austrian Workers' Fishing Associations also includes the adjacent waters. Since most of the bank is steep or overgrown with reed beds , the Schillerwasser is frequented by anglers, but rarely by bathers, which is why measurements of the water quality were discontinued in 2016. When measured in August 2015, the Schiller water had excellent bathing water quality and a visibility depth of 1.2 meters.

Origin of name

The name of the Schiller water can be traced back to the fish species pikeperch (also called Schill ), which has been represented here for a long time and is also angled. The names of the Schillwasser and the Großer Schillochs, which make up today's Schillerwasser, the Kleiner Schillochs and the Schillwasserweg and Schillochweg also go back to the Schill . When and why the name Schillwasser changed to Schillerwasser is not known.
