The Stadiongasse located on the 1st Viennese district, the Inner City . It was named in 1874 after the statesman Johann Philipp von Stadion .
history
The area of today's Stadiongasse once belonged to the glacis in front of the Vienna city walls and was then a parade and parade ground in the 19th century. In the course of the decision to block this, Stadiongasse was laid out and named in 1874. It is part of the so-called Rathausviertel, an area around the new Vienna City Hall designed in a uniform manner in the late historical style . Another street called Stadiongasse in the former Viennese suburb of Fünfhaus was renamed Robert-Hamerling-Gasse after it was incorporated into Vienna in 1890/1892 in order to avoid double naming within Vienna.
Location and characteristics
Stadiongasse, which is only three blocks long, runs from the southwest corner of Rathausplatz in the east to Landesgerichtsstrasse in the west and forms a connection from Wiener Ringstrasse to Josefstädter Strasse, which follows the two-way line . Tram line 2 (formerly J) travels the entire length of Stadiongasse and has a stop in the direction of travel out of town in front of Landesgerichtsstrasse. One of the exits to the Rathaus subway station of the U2 is also located here . The Stadiongasse is lined with cycle lanes in both directions.

On the corner property at Auerspergstrasse 8 (other addresses: Rathausstrasse 1, Doblhoffgasse 10) there was a municipal market hall from 1880 on (project name: Detailmarkthalle am Paradeplatz; the place name came from the time when the parade and parade ground, which was only closed in 1870, was where the Rathausviertel was created). The hall was planned by Friedrich Paul and had 132 stands on 1840 m². After severe war damage, the building was converted into a forum cinema in 1949–1954 by Robert Kotas, the house architect of the then city-owned cinema operator Kiba , which was long one of the largest cinemas in Vienna.

From 1973 the building, in which from 1968 to 1972 the press and information service of the City of Vienna also had its headquarters, was demolished.
From 1976 to 1980, an office complex with a glass facade was built here according to plans by the architects Harry Glück , Werner Höfer and Tadeusz Spychała , which, like the previous building, took up the entire block. It housed the computer center of the City of Vienna (Municipal Department 14), which was moved to the 22nd district in 2013. The building was demolished in 2017/2018 and replaced by a new building.
Since the construction of the detailed market hall, the area has also been given the address Landesgerichtsstrasse 2 (instead of Auerspergstrasse 8); in a widely used book plan, this is the case through 2016. However, No. 2 no longer exists in the city administration's electronic map.
