location

Siebensterngasse is located in Vienna-Neubau , between Mariahilfer Strasse and Burggasse . It runs in an approximately east-west direction from Breite Gasse to Neubaugasse through the historic parts of Neubau, such as St. Ulrich and the Spittelberg . In the western third, the street between Kirchengasse and Mondscheingasse widens to Siebensternplatz.

For motor vehicles, it is only possible to drive through the entire length towards the city center. In order to prevent through traffic, the Siebensterngasse between Neubaugasse and Kirchengasse is a one-way street in the direction of the city and in the direction of the city out of town, vehicles must turn left into the Stiftgasse beforehand. The tram and bicycle traffic are not affected.

The streetcar has been running through the street since June 2, 1870, electric since September 27, 1901, and the line signal 49 since 1907. The street is also accessed by bus line 13A, which crosses Kirchengasse (in the direction of Alser Straße) and touched by Neubaugasse (in the direction of the main station).

The only green space - apart from individual tree plantings in the area of ​​Siebensternplatz - is the Siebensternpark, which was built on plot No. 36.

Siebensterngasse acquired a special significance in the history of Austrian film. In 1928 the majority of the 70 film distribution companies were mainly located in Neubau- and Siebensterngasse. One spoke of the "New Building Film District". In the course of time, the "Filmhaus" ( Schöne Restaurant , Siebensterngasse 19), many amateur clubs and other film houses and movie house cinemas were built in the vicinity. Even today, in 2018, there are two cinemas on Siebensterngasse. Around 1985 the KOSMOS cinema was opposite house number 31, formerly “ Sascha-Filmindustrie ”.
