The Strozzigrund (also Strozzengrund ) was an independent municipality until 1850 and is now a district of Vienna in the 8th district of Josefstadt .
location
The Strozzigrund was one of the smallest suburbs of Vienna and was built on part of the original Lerchenfeld , the arid Lerchenfeld . It comprised Strozzigasse and the adjacent parts of Zeltgasse (house numbers 13 and 14), Josefstädter Strasse (house numbers 35 to 43) and Lerchenfelder Strasse (house numbers 38 to 50).
history
Up until the second Turkish siege of Vienna , there were only vineyards and fields in the Strozzigrund area. The first houses (today Lerchenfelder Strasse 46 and 50) were not built until 1699. They were owned by the Flecksieder Gabriel Dessinger and the tailor Sebastian Robelt. When Countess Maria Katharina Strozzi acquired the arid Lerchenfeld on August 28, 1702 , the change in the area began. While the countess was building a summer palace ( Palais Strozzi ), Emperor Leopold I elevated the countess's property to a free knighthood and thus laid the foundation stone for what would later become an independent suburb. The Countess bequeathed the property to her nephew, Colonel Count Ludwig Khevenhüller , who offered the property to the municipality of Vienna. Since the purchase price was too high, Khevenhüller sold the property to the Bishop of Valencia , Folco de Cardona in 1717 . After his death in 1725, Cardona bequeathed the possession of the palace to Emperor Karl VI. , Cardona's nephew Johann Basilius Castelvi de Cervellon inherited the manor. In 1746 the city of Vienna finally bought the manor, which consisted of the palace and six residential buildings. It was not until 1770, when Count Chotek , the then owner of the palace, had to sell large parts of the garden, that the structure of the settlement changed. The velvet manufacturer Louis Henry bought the land and had the site parceled out. 51 new houses were built within ten years.
