history
In Roman times, today's Ungargasse connected the military camp Vindobona with the civil town, whose main axis to Czeike can be assumed to be around today's Rennweg. It was mentioned as early as 1444 under its then name Hungargasse . (The spelling Hungarn for Hungary was in use until the 19th century.) The name was given by the fact that there were restaurants and hostels along the street, mainly from merchants and cattle dealers traveling from Hungary, to Vienna via Simmering and Rennweg reached and turned into the Ungargasse, were frequented.

traffic
Ungargasse is a relatively narrow traffic artery in which, in addition to vehicles parked on both sides, only one lane is available per direction of travel; this is also used by the tram. Around ten side streets lead into or cross the Ungargasse; the most important is the Neulinggasse (bus 4A).
A horse-drawn tramway has been running through Ungargasse since the end of 1890, coming from Invalidenstrasse , the route of which was extended in 1891 through the Fasangasse to the south to the Südbahnhof . The end of 1899, the line was converted to electric operation and shortly thereafter kommunalisiert . Since 1907 the current line scheme was introduced, trains of line O have been running here (today's route: Praterstern - Raxstraße / Neilreichgasse). 1907–1941 also ran trains on line 4 (Südbahnhof– Hauptallee ) through the southern part of Ungargasse; they turned east into Rochusgasse or came from the east from Sechskrügelgasse. There are three stops in Ungargasse: at Sechskrügelgasse, at Neulinggasse and immediately before the end of Ungargasse at the intersection with Rennweg.
The Ungargasse is connected at both ends to express transport. Close to the northern end streets is the Wien Mitte station / highway (U3 S-Bahn, U4), at the southern end of the aisle, the station Wien Rennweg the Vienna S-Bahn .
