The Shopping City Süd ( SCS ) is a shopping center located near the southern outskirts of Vienna in Vösendorf ( Mödling district ), part of which is also in Wiener Neudorf . It was founded in 1976 by Hans Dujsik (1924–2003).

General

With a sales area of around 192,500 m², it is one of the largest shopping centers in Europe and the largest in Austria . Whether the SCS is the largest shopping center in Europe is a matter of dispute, since several shopping centers claim this title for themselves in terms of the number of visitors, sales revenue or sales area.

The Shopping City Süd comprises around 330 shops with 4500 employees. During construction, it was primarily geared towards car traffic and offers more than 10,000 parking spaces . The catchment area extends deep into Hungary and Slovakia , so that on every busy day of shopping there is traffic chaos despite its own motorway connection via the southern motorway (A2) and the direct connection to Wiener Neustädter Straße (B17). The supply of public transport is mainly by the local train , but there are also some bus routes such as Vienna from foreign as free-to-use direct Siebenhirten ( U6 ) -SCS ( "SCS bus") and the regional bus -lines 207 (direction Mödling station (S-Bahn) or U-Bahn Siebenhirten (U6) and Vienna Liesing station (S-Bahn) as well as 265 (direction Mödling station (S-Bahn) or Vienna Südtiroler Platz (Vienna main station, S-Bahn, Underground U1 )). The free bus route Oper – SCS (“Ikea bus”) has been discontinued, since October 2, 2012, holders of the Ikea Family Card or the SCS customer card can use the Badner Bahn from Vienna without a ticket for the section Vösendorf-Siebenhirten-Vösendorf- Use SCS (outer zone).

SCS office center in 2007

The Shopping City Süd was built outside of Vienna's national borders in order to save costs. This means that a lot of purchasing power flows from Vienna to Lower Austria, which explains the ambivalent attitude of the Vienna provincial government towards the SCS. This is particularly evident in the poor transport connections through Vienna's “public transport”: The SCS is located outside the “core zone Vienna” (zone 100) in VOR , which encompasses the entire city of Vienna. However, there are repeated calls to extend the U6 line to the SCS.

The SCS has also been a member of the Austrian Climate Alliance since 2011 and wants to reduce its CO 2 emissions by 5300 tons as part of membership .

owner

After the death of the founder Hans Dujsik, the SCS was converted into a foundation. In December 2007, SCS was sold to the Dutch real estate group Unibail-Rodamco , which also owns the Donauzentrum in Vienna. The purchase price, which was initially kept secret, is likely to have been 607 million euros, according to the Austrian textile newspaper.
