The Pilgramgasse station of the Vienna underground line U4 is in the 5th district of Margareten . It is named after the street in the 5th district, named in 1862 after the landscape architect Franz Anton Pilgram (1699–1761). The station, which is located in the open, extends in the cut parallel to the Wien River between Ramperstorffergasse and Pilgramgasse.
Plant of the station
The U4 station is located in the cut parallel to Vienna . At the north end of the platforms there is access via a station building designed by Otto-Wagner; at the south end there is a modern station structure that is currently closed due to the construction of the U2 station.
It is possible to change to bus lines 12A in the direction of Possingergasse or Eichenstrasse, 13A in the direction of Hauptbahnhof or Skodagasse and 14A in the direction of Neubaugasse or Reumannplatz . Next to the station building at the Pilgrambrücke there is a terminal of the Citybike Wien bike rental system.
In 2017 the green space behind the station was named Rosa-Janku-Park (after a resistance fighter, 1882-1944)
history
The station was built for the lower Viennese line of the Vienna steam light rail . In their early plans it was sometimes still called the Pilgram Bridge , before it finally got the name that is still used today. The station was built by the Commission for Transport Systems in Vienna , its construction was completed in November 1897 and its intended use was made on July 30, 1899. Like almost the entire system of the light rail system, the Pilgramgasse station was closed on December 8, 1918 and reopened on September 7, 1925 as part of the Vienna Electric Light Rail. Until the 1970s, the station was served by the WD (Wiental – Donaukanal) line. Then the conversion for the underground service, which began on October 27, 1980, took place. The station has two side platforms. One of the two exits leads via a fixed staircase to a restored reception building in the Otto Wagner style. Barrier-free access by elevator is only possible via the Ramperstorffergasse exit out of town. This exit and the associated reception building were newly created as part of the Wiener Linien elevator installation program in 1996, as an elevator installation in the listed ( list entry ) Otto Wagner station building was not possible. The lifts went into operation on November 8, 1996.
The subway station was extensively renovated in 2019 as part of the NEU4 project . In the course of the renovation, preliminary work has already been carried out for the new U2 station Pilgramgasse. The station was closed from February 3, 2019 to January 30, 2020 due to construction work. Even after the lock has been lifted, the underground station will not be accessible by elevator due to the construction work that will continue for years.

Expansion project "Line cross U2 / U5"
A station for the U2 will be built here by 2027 as part of the U2 / U5 line intersection expansion project . The platforms will be built at a depth of 30 meters, below the platforms of the U4 and the Wien River . The listed Otto Wagner station building remains unchanged and is only directly connected to the platforms of the U4. Immediately next to this station building there will be elevators with which the U2 can be reached. The southern access will be extensively rebuilt and provide access to both lines. Access to the U2 will also be built in Hofmühlgasse west of the Wien River.
The neighboring stations along the U2 will be the Neubaugasse underground station and the Reinprechtsdorfer Straße underground station .
