Auhofer Trennstück settlement
The Auhofer Trennstück settlement , also known as the SAT settlement , is located in the 13th district of Hietzing in Vienna . It was built in the years after the First World War as a self-sufficient settlement on the outskirts of Vienna.
Location and characteristics
The SAT settlement is located on an area of 38 hectares in the Auhof cadastral community in the south of the 13th district. It is bounded in the north by Eyslergasse (formerly: Mozartgasse), in the east by Speisinger Straße, in the south by Wittgensteinstraße (border to the 23rd district) and in the west by neighboring settlements west of Aschergasse (formerly: Waldmüllergasse). At that time Speisinger Strasse was called Mauer Wiener Strasse. The tram line 60 runs on it, which has its northern terminus on the Kennedybrücke ( Hietzing underground station ) at the Hietzing district center and has been going to Westbahnhof since 2017 .
At Sillerplatz on Speisinger Straße, which has kept its original name, four street axes begin, on which the further course of the street is oriented at right angles and diagonally. The settlement consists of single-family houses on plots with a size of 450 to 500 m 2 .
history
The area was initially within the Lainzer zoo , which served as the imperial hunting ground. The Hofärar (state property at the disposal of the emperor) had the zoo wall moved westwards, along today's Anatourgasse, and transferred the area that had become free, called Auhofer Trennstück, in 1912 in return for a compensation payment to the kk Ärar, the state property administered by the government. There were plans to move the University of Veterinary Medicine and the Theresianum here from Vienna, which were thwarted by the First World War.
In 1920 the City of Vienna leased the Auhofer Trennstück, which consisted only of a forest that had been cut down at the end of the war, from the Republic of Austria and leased it further. Franz Siller's settlement association , the so-called Siller colony , initially received 19 ha, the allotment garden association Mauer 9 ha and the cattle breeding association Mauer received the Haidewiese on the border with Vienna. In 1921 the settlers' cooperative Auhofer Trennstück , or SAT for short , emerged from the Siller colony . In 1922 a settler home was opened. The self-sufficient settlers built many houses without a building permit.
In 1925, the municipality of Vienna no longer extended the lease. In the years that followed, the settlers were forced to buy their land from the state. With the opening of an aqueduct in 1928, the illegally built houses were de facto legalized.
In 1938 the Auhofer Trennstück settlement, which now belonged to the municipality of Mauer bei Wien , was incorporated into Greater Vienna , but unlike Mauer (and the Lainzer Tiergarten), it was not assigned to the new 25th district, but like its western and northern neighboring settlements to the 13th. District. Since the settlement was not part of Vienna before 1938, it was part of the Soviet zone in Austria under occupation law from 1945 to 1955 . In 1955, many street names were changed that were duplicates of streets with the same name in other districts (e.g. Mozartgasse, since 1955 Eyslergasse, Franz-Schubert-Gasse, new Keplingergasse).
