Schottenfeld is a district part of the Vienna municipal district construction . The formerly independent municipality was incorporated into Vienna in 1850.
geography
The district part of Schottenfeld is located in the southwest of the district of Neubau. The border runs in the west across from the districts of Ottakring and Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus along the belt , in the south Mariahilfer Strasse separates Schottenfeld from the Mariahilf district . The eastern border of Schottenfeld, however, is less straightforward. Andreasgasse, Lindengasse, Neubaugasse, Burggasse and Zieglergasse separate the Schottenfeld from the Neubau district . In the north, the border to the Altlerchenfeld district runs along Bernardgasse. Originally the area of the Schottenfeld extended to the line wall . The area west of Kaiserstraße (Kenyongasse or Wimbergergasse) was only built after its demolition.
Schottenfeld is also a census district of the official statistics consisting of ten census districts, the borderline of which, however, is not identical to that of the formerly independent municipality.
The area between Schottenfeldgasse, Lindengasse, Neubaugasse and Burggasse was popularly known as Brillantengrund. It has been immortalized in the Viennese songs by "Die Engelmacherin vom Diamantengrund" by Gerhard Bronner and Helmut Qualtinger .
history
The Schottenfeld was originally part of the so-called Oberhof or St. Ulrichhof . In the 13th century the area belonged to Dietrich the Rich . In the 14th century the patronage and the manorial rule fell to the sovereign, who lent the area to changing owners. From 1629 the Schottenstift took over the fiefdom of the Oberhof. From 1680 to the middle of the 18th century, the area along Mariahilfer Strasse was built up to Kaiserstrasse. The first settlers were milkmen and carters. The upswing began with the settlement of silk manufacturers. The large-scale development of the “Schottenäcker” began in 1719, when the Schottenstift was forced to subdivide and sell the fields due to financial difficulties. The buyers of the land had to undertake to build a house or sell the land within one to two years. This offer was particularly popular with manufacturing companies that found too little space within the city walls. The highest number of entries in the land register occurred during the reign of Joseph II . After the abolition of the St. Laurenz monastery, the Schottenstift also came into possession of the land around what is now Westbahnstrasse, which it also had parceled out. In 1777 Schottenfeld was raised to its own suburb. In 1779 Schottenfeld already had 129 houses and 20,000 inhabitants. The parish hall was at Kandlergasse 27. In 1825 a new court house was built at Burggasse 67-69. During the French Wars , Schottenfeld provided a 1,500-strong delegation for the Landwehr . The soldiers had to pay a high blood toll. The cholera epidemic in 1831 also killed many people. Ludwig Wilhelm Mauthner built the first Viennese children's hospital on Kaiserstrasse.
