history
The station was built Upper Wientallinie the Vienna steam rail that the station Hütteldorf-Hacking for Meidling main road led. In the early urban railway planning , it was sometimes referred to as Wiengasse , before it finally got the name that is still used today. The structural completion of the stop built by the Commission for Transport Systems in Vienna took place in May 1896, the opening on June 1, 1898, with a reception building only at the western end . From 1925 on, the Vienna Electric Light Rail system operated as a replacement . The bus stop was hardly damaged in the Second World War , but repairs were necessary. The plans for the conversion to subway operation began in 1976, those for the substation adjoining the station in 1977. Otto Wagner's reception building was retained, but the platform roofs, a large part of the staircase area and the old log cabin were torn down and the Panel system of the U-Bahn architectural group replaced. In the building itself, the toilet facilities and the tobacco shop were adapted, the area of the former classrooms was converted into a machine maintenance room, a cleaning room, a garbage room and a sand and salt magazine. The additionally built substation provides the power supply between Hietzing and Hütteldorf. It consists of a cable cellar, a reinforced concrete structure that is placed on the original lining walls , as well as the control and power supply systems above, a steel structure . The opening for the underground service took place on December 20, 1981. In order to simplify access, another access option with elevators was built at the eastern end of the station and opened on December 21, 2001.
