In 1862, Preßgasse was incorporated into what was then Sterngasse , which now extended from Judengasse to Salzgries.

The nailing began when the tree was still alive (i.e. before 1440); the reason for the nailing is not known. There are many (untrue) myths and legends about the stick in the iron, most of which date from the 17th and 18th centuries.

It is the starting point of the Kärntner Straße leading south from here .

  • Stubenbastei , named in 1862 after part of the former Vienna city walls . There never was a bastion called the Stubenbastei , but that part of the city wall that reached from the Stubentor to the Braunbastei was occasionally called that.

Its southern continuation was named after a likewise never-existing bastion Coburg Bastion , the northern continuation after the demolished Dominican bastion . The remains of the city wall at the Stubentor were exposed during the construction of the U3 underground line in 1985–1987 and are now integrated into the Stubentor underground station .
  • Stubenring , named in 1867 after the so-called Stubenbastei (see this one) or the Stubentor . The Stubentor with its gate tower was part of the oldest city ​​wall , built between 1195 and 1250 . It was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in 1555–1566into a 25-meter-long box gate with a bell tower , received a classicist facade in 1831, and was demolished in 1858–1864. Only after the demolition of the Franz-Joseph-Kaserne in 1900/1901 could the northern part of the Stubenring be laid out in its current form and thus the Vienna Ringstrasse could be completed. The street is one of the nine sections of Vienna's Ringstrasse, whichbegins with the Stubenringfollowing the Franz-Josefs-Kai at Julius-Raab-Platz and Aspernbrücke ; clockwise (and the direction of traffic) after the Stubenring comes the Parkring .

Subsequently, the names Wolfgässel , Wolfengässel and Wolfgasse can be found , until the current spelling was officially established in 1862.
  • Wolfgang-Schmitz-Promenade , named in 2018 after the ÖVP politician Wolfgang Schmitz (1923–2008); from 1950 he worked in the Chamber of Commerce. From 1964 to 1968 he was Minister of Finance and from 1968 to 1973 President of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank . The promenade is a footpath on the Danube Canal and Vienna River between Marienbrücke and Radetzkybrücke .
  • Wollzeile , historical name after the former seat of the wool weavers and merchants, which was located here. The street name is first found in 1261 as a wool line and then in other variants; the current notation has been in use since 1827. The part of the name “-zeile” indicates an originally only one-sided construction. After the demolition of the city ​​fortifications in the area of ​​the Stubentor (1858–1862), the street was extended to the Wien River (district boundary). After the construction of the Lueger monument and the creation of the Dr.-Karl-Lueger-Platz at the intersection with the Ringstrasse in 1926, the part of the Wollzeile outside the new square was renamed Weiskirchnerstrasse in 1932 .
