history

Watercolor by Carl Wenzel Zajicek (1913)

In the Middle Ages, the Vienna city wall crossed today's Schreyvogelgasse. The houses up to today's house number 8 were named Inside the Schottentor around 1400 . From 1544 to 1545 the wall was torn down and a driveway to the newly built Mölker Bastei was created. Accordingly, the name Gässel zur Bastei is documented in 1776 . In the course of the razing of the Vienna city fortifications and the construction of the Vienna Ringstrasse , the Mölker Bastei was also demolished. From 1862 the street was called Kleppersteig. After a part of the ramp to the former Mölker Bastei was not demolished due to excessive redemption demands from the house owners and as a result some houses remained in an elevated position on the ramp, access to the rest of the road network was created here in 1871. Because of its proximity to the Burgtheater , the street was renamed Schreyvogelgasse in 1885 , after Joseph Schreyvogel , who was director of the old Hofburgtheater in the first half of the 19th century. At the lower end of the ramp, a small green area was named Rock-Park (after Joseph Franz Rock ) in 2011 .

Location and characteristics

The alley to the west
The alley to the east

Schreyvogelgasse runs from Teinfaltstraße in the south in a north-westerly direction to the Universitätsring . A separate lane ( pedestrian zone ) on the north side of the street leads to the elevated houses on the Mölker Bastei. The confluence with the Ring, where the alley called Mölker Bastei meets the Ringstrasse, has a plaza-like character with the Liebenberg monument in the middle. While the buildings at the beginning of the alley and on the entire southern side of the street were built in the historicist style in the second half of the 19th century , the buildings in an elevated position on the ramp to the Mölker Bastei on the northern side date from the second half of the 18th century Century, and are fine examples of late Baroque Josephine architecture in Vienna.

There is no public transport in Schreyvogelgasse.

Building

No. 1 Former land credit institution

The building of the former Allgemeine Österreichische Bodencreditanstalt at Teinfaltstrasse 8-10 was built from 1885 to 1887 according to plans by Emil von Förster . It forms a separate block between Löwelstrasse (here the main facade), Oppolzergasse, Schreyvogelgasse and Teinfaltstrasse. The historicist design in the style of the Florentine Renaissance is remarkable. Today a branch of the University Library of the University of Vienna is housed here.

No. 2 Late historic house

The late historic house at Teinfaltstrasse 6 was built in 1894 according to plans by Ferdinand Schindler.

No. 3 historic corner house

Schreyvogelgasse No. 3

In 1880 Ludwig Tischler built this strictly historical corner house on Oppolzergasse in the style of the Viennese Neo-Renaissance . There is a three-storey bay window on the corner projection. The Corinthian columned portal leads to the richly stuccoed and pilaster-structured foyer, in which the aediculan, console ceilings and Corinthian columns catch the eye at the entrance to the staircase. The building was renovated in 1994.

No. 4 Melker Hof

In Schreyvogelgasse there is a piece of the rear of the Melker Hof, a large residential courtyard from the second half of the 18th century, built by Josef Gerl .

No. 5 Ringstrasse Palace

The corner house at Universitätsring 8 was built in 1873 by August Schwendenwein von Lanauberg in the style of the Viennese Neo-Renaissance.

No. 6 late baroque house

Franz Xaver Martinelli built the small late baroque house in 1771 at the rear of the Melker Hof. It was adapted around 1820. The classical grooved façade shows the first floor window with straight Hood Mold, the second floor window with closed lunettes and the third floor with gefaschter framing. The restaurant with veranda and canopy dates from the end of the 19th century.

No. 8 Late Baroque corner house

The late baroque corner house on Mölker Steig with its façade bent several times comes from the 3rd quarter of the 18th century. It has a round arch portal between Ionic pilasters under a curved gable with vases and putti. The windows of the two upper floors have curved gable roofs, parapet fields pull the axes of the house together. A gilded house sign represents the eye of God . The building's attic and basement are original from the construction period.

No. 10 Dreimäderlhaus

According to Dehio, the important late baroque gabled house dates from the third quarter of the 18th century; other sources such as Felix Czeike give the year 1803. The house in the Josephine plait style is free-standing on two sides and is located on the corner of the Mölker Steig, elevated on the ramp to the Mölker Bastei. Pilaster strips and suspected windows with parapet-style ornaments that are drawn together by parapet panels emphasize the vertical structure of the building. The basket arch portal with inclined pillars has a segmented gable with a shell and a vase. At the front there is a volute-framed, trapezoidal gable with an ox's eye, as well as a painted medallion picture depicting the Holy Trinity . The windows and the portal of the low extension on the Mölker Steig are framed with a fascia.

The name Dreimäderlhaus goes back to the fact that the composer Franz Schubert is said to have had a romance with the three daughters of the glazier Franz Tschöll, Hannerl, Hederl and Heiderl, who lived here. In fact, the house has nothing to do with the composer. The story is based on the novel Schwammerl by Rudolf Hans Bartsch .

No. 12, 14 Classicist houses

Schreyvogelgasse 12

The two small classicist houses in an elevated position on the ramp to the Mölker Bastei were heavily redesigned at the beginning of the 19th century. They have a simple cornice structure and bezel-framed windows.

No. 16 Pasqualati house

The house at the corner of Mölker Bastei 8 was built between 1791 and 1798. It is known from Ludwig van Beethoven , who lived here for a few years. On the fourth floor there is a Beethoven memorial that belongs to the Wien Museum .
