The Troststraße located in the 10th Vienna district favorites . It is one of the most important east-west connections in the district. It was named in 1894 after the butcher and house owner Michael Martin Trost (born February 12, 1831 in Mellrichstadt, Bavaria ; † January 1, 1893 in Vienna), who was a councilor for the Liberal Party from 1875 to 1893 . Parts of the street were previously called Schaumburgerstrasse and Marxergasse .
location
Troststrasse is located in the Inzersdorf-Stadt district on the northern slope of the Wienerberg . It begins in the east on Favoritenstraße and runs west to Triester Straße . She crosses u. a. the Laxenburger Street and Neilreichgasse .
traffic
Troststrasse is an important cross-connection in the upper area of Favoriten near the ridge of the Wienerberg. It connects the major arterial roads of the district with each other and, in addition to the parallel Gudrunstraße , Quellenstraße and Raxstraße, is accessible for car traffic in both directions (all other streets are one-way). On public transport, the tram lines O and 67 use the central part of Troststraße between Laxenburger Straße and Neilreichgasse as well as the bus lines 66A, 67A and 70A between Ettenreichgasse and Laxenburger Straße and 65A between Neilreichgasse and Gussriegelstraße . In addition, the tram line 67, which runs on Favoritenstrasse, has a stop at the eastern beginning of Troststrasse and tram line 1, which runs in Knöllgasse, has a stop at its western end. Instead of the tram line 67, an extension of the underground line U1 is planned under Favoritenstraße , whereby a stop will be set up for this on Troststraße .
Characteristic
The oldest part of Troststrasse that was developed as a road was located between today's Ettenreichgasse and today's Neilreichgasse. The remaining parts were originally just paths. Nevertheless, the oldest surviving buildings can be found at both ends of the street, i.e. in the area of Favoritenstraße and Triester Straße, where there is still a small inventory of late historical apartment buildings from around 1900. In the central area between Laxenburger Straße and Neilreichgasse there are some large community building blocks from the interwar period. In contrast to the other areas of Troststraße, this zone is also equipped with numerous shops and restaurants, which makes it the liveliest section of the street. The large areas between the ends of the street and the central area are filled with urban residential complexes from the period from 1945 onwards, whereby the peripheral construction of Troststraße was partially abandoned. Before that, there were mostly allotments here.
