Northwest Railway
List of train stations in Austria

The Nordwestbahnhof in the Brigittenau district in Vienna was the terminus of the Austrian Northwest Railway . The station area is currently being used as a freight station or freight terminal. A new district is to be built on the site by 2025. At the end of 2017, the regular rental contracts of the companies on the site will expire and a phase of interim use begins.

The site

Northwest Station 2013

The Nordwestbahnhof, although the second largest station of the six Viennese terminal stations, is hardly anchored in the general awareness. The Northwest Railway lost massive importance with the dissolution of Austria-Hungary . Passenger traffic was stopped as early as 1952 after a phase as a replacement station. Only the remaining post office 1200, the former main post office of Brigittenau on the side facing Nordwestbahnstrasse, was known . The station has gone down in the history of Vienna more as the scene of political events.

The station area is only about four kilometers from the center of Vienna and has been part of the 20th district since 1900. The area borders in the south on the outer Taborstrasse , in the west on the Nordwestbahnstrasse, in the east on the Dresdnerstrasse and in the north on the Stromstrasse. The main entrance is currently on Taborstrasse and Nordwestbahnstrasse. The area is the last major urban development area in Vienna. The area is around 44 hectares.

The time before the railroad

In the time before the Danube regulation, the area could not be used economically due to the recurring floods. In 1614, Emperor Matthias built a small hunting lodge in Wolfsau (oldest name of Brigittenau), part of the former imperial hunting area, which at that time was still an untouched landscape. The area was unsafe not only because of the water, but also because of its militarily exposed location. During the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683, all the facilities in the Augarten were destroyed.

First demolition work in 2015

The growth of the city of Vienna also made the tributaries of the river more important for shipping. The station area is in the area of ​​the former flagpole water . The wood delivered via the river was preferred to be unloaded at this branch of the Danube. The flagpoles showed the ships and rafts where to land. The site was on the edge of the Augarten, which was part of the 2nd district. At that time the Nordwestbahnstraße was still called Augartendamm. The arm of the Danube disappeared with the regulation of the Danube from 1868. Land was gained for the railway stations and industrial plants. In the mid-19th century, due to lower taxes and the lack of space in the city center, some popular entertainment centers emerged outside the city walls. The area was also popular for illegal dog fights between wealthy industrial sons. The most famous and largest amusement center in Brigittenau was the "Universe". His builder Ferdinand Bachmaier (1826–1903) demanded the enormous sum of 100,000 Austro-Hungarian guilders as compensation for the construction of the railway, which he also received.

Planning status 1873

The fact that such a large infrastructure project as the construction of the Nordwestbahn was privately financed must be seen against the background of the state finances of Austria-Hungary . Due to the heavily burdened state budget in the years around the German War of 1866 and the boycott of tax increases by the Reichsrat , which was dominated by the nobility , the state sold existing railroad lines to private investors and promoted the expansion and construction of new ones with guaranteed interest on shares. Subsequently, there was an intensive expansion of the railways, including the Nordwestbahn, but also corresponding stock speculation deals by competing railroad companies. Not only because of the Danube regulation, but also the upcoming Vienna World Exhibition in 1873 led to fierce building speculation at the time of the station building. Ultimately, the financing model did not bring any relief to the state budget, but increased the costs enormously. Nationalization was the only way out. The Northwest Railway was operated from October 15, 1909 by the Imperial and Royal State Railways.

Station construction

Plan view 1873 of the north-west station

In the first planning phase around 1869, the project was the subject of numerous political and technical discussions. It was about the location between the regulated Danube River and the Danube Canal, the terrain height and crossing possibilities for the residents. Points of discussion were how far the groundwater should be taken into account, since the building level has a significant impact on the building costs. Another point was the number and dimensions of the culverts crossing the station. The building was initially intended for the western ( rear ) part of the Augarten; However, this location would have been more of a hindrance to the connection between the Danube mainstream and the city than the location ultimately selected. In mid-June 1869, after a complete reworking of the project, a solution was found next to Taborstrasse.

The Stuttgart architecture professor Wilhelm Sophonias Bäumer was commissioned by the construction department of the Nordwestbahn to build the passenger station after he had been invited to submit a design in 1869. The specification was a train station with five tracks, which can be expanded if necessary. It was still unclear how the Northwest Railway would develop. The construction of the hall began in January 1870, with Bäumer being supported in the construction phase until 1873 by Theodor Reuter , who at that time was chief engineer in the central office for structural engineering of the Nordwestbahn. Bäumer, who relocated to Vienna for the project, also developed large residential buildings in the vicinity (Heinestrasse 41 / Praterstern 1 / Kleine Stadtgutgasse 12 and 14) as well as some villas in the surrounding area of ​​Vienna and in Carinthia while supervising the construction of the train station. The Nordwestbahnhof, Bäumer's main work, was stylistically based on the forms of Italian Renaissance palazzi. In this project, he was able to consistently implement his stylistic ideas both outside and inside. The imposing, monumental and much-noticed building is reminiscent of older train stations in Paris. The main facade was structured by risalits . The central main entrance was highlighted by arcades, a large, semicircular window and a gable roof that is reminiscent of a city gate. On the departure side on Nordwestbahnstrasse there was an elegant, spacious semicircular vestibule. On this were allegorical figures for the cities that have moved closer to Vienna thanks to the Northwest Railway. These were Dresden , Leipzig , Breslau , Berlin , Hamburg and Bremen . There were also four groups of children with the coats of arms of Lower Austria , Bohemia , Vienna and Prague . The figures were made from St. Margarethen sand-lime brick by the sculptor Franz Melnitzky . The vaulted ceiling was decorated with shields of various allegories and the names of specialists by the painter Pietro Isella from Morcote . The interior design of the building was very elegant and Bäumer planned down to the last detail. There were plentiful coffered ceilings, rich wall paintings, wallpaper and pilasters, and exquisite lighting fixtures. The painter Hermann Burghart designed the first class waiting room, which featured cities and views of the Northwest Railway. The sculptors Franz Schönthaler and Rudolf Winder worked in the court salon. After all, the train station was also the logical place of arrival of the German nobility in Vienna. For the common people there were waiting rooms for the II. And III. Class.

The estimated construction costs were 1½ – 2 million guilders (this is about 13 to 17 million €). In fact, after an extremely short construction period of around 17 months including financing, they were 2.3 million. The work was made more difficult by the swampy terrain, on which up to four meters of earth had to be piled up because of the risk of flooding. The soil was transported from Heiligenstadt via the Danube Canal on its own field railway . The 125 meter long and 39 meter wide hall with a 360 ton iron roof construction was completed on January 1st, 1872.

On June 1, 1872, the station was opened in an unfinished state when the section Vienna (north-west train station) - Jedlesee was opened to public transport for the transport of people, luggage and express goods. Long-distance traffic with express trains to Dresden and Berlin has started. The trip to Berlin took 19 hours (today 10 hours), the price for the second class was 15 Thalers and 26 Groschen (approx. € 75). It was completed just in time for the 1873 World's Fair.

Reception area

The main reception building on the corner of Nordwestbahnstrasse and Taborstrasse was served by two tram lines. Today's line 2 (formerly N) established the connection to the city center through Taborstrasse as a through line. The Tangentiallinie line 5 connected (for transfer passengers) the Nordwestbahnhof with the Nordbahnhof , the Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof and the Westbahnhof .

Warehouses still preserved

In the period up to 1914, the freight station was expanded several times by the construction of tracks (51 in total), magazines and loading platforms. Some warehouses are still standing today. Incoming goods at the station were from 1899 z. B. Marine fish from the North Sea. The Deutsche Dampffischerei-Gesellschaft Nordsee, founded in Bremen in 1896 and still active today as a restaurant chain Nordsee (restaurant chain) , set itself the goal of supplying people in the inland with fresh fish as quickly as possible and set up a central fish sales point. There were also four sales halls in the city. The freshly alive fish took 40 hours to get to Vienna and were delivered daily in specially constructed refrigerator trucks . The first tropical fruits, the bananas, also came to Vienna via the North Sea ports. From December 1912 the import of West Indian bananas began as a folk food . A wholesale banana import facility had been set up in the Schenkermagazin.

The freight forwarders were in the core area of ​​the railway site. At the edge areas were the unloading and transshipment points z. B. for coal and wood. Companies of different sizes emerged in the new development area of ​​the 20th district, as new economic sources of income opened up with the train traffic. For example, B. the delivery of milk from the area around Vienna for the establishment of several milk processing companies such as NÖM .

The first political event that occurred at the Nordwestbahnhof was the murder of the social democratic politician Franz Schuhmeier . He came back from an election rally in Stockerau and was shot in the station hall on February 11, 1913 by Paul Kunschak, brother of the Christian social politician Leopold Kunschak .

During the First World War , the Austrian rail network was used intensively for military purposes. Only the Northwest Railway was the only one of the major railway lines that was not used for troop transports.

The time after 1918

Since the beginning of 1923 there was a plan to concentrate traffic for the north-west and the nearby north station . For reasons of economy and because of the two-thirds decrease in the number of passengers since 1914, passenger handling in the north-west station was stopped on February 1, 1924; the passenger trains of the Northwest Railway were then led from the North Station.

The now useless station concourse was used for exhibitions, political and sporting events. The hall is the oldest known ski hall in the world, in which it was possible to ski on artificial snow. After the opening of the “Snow Palace” on November 26, 1927, a pistol attack was carried out on the Social Democratic Mayor of Vienna, Karl Seitz , which he and his companions survived unharmed. The hall also served as a storage hall for unused locomotives.

After the “Anschluss” of Austria , Hermann Göring stopped on March 26, 1938 and Adolf Hitler , Joseph Goebbels and other top Nazi politicians on April 9, 1938, one day before the “ referendum on the reunification of Austria with the German Reich ”, in the station hall Propaganda speeches. The anti-Semitic exhibition “ The Eternal Jew ” shown in the train station was intended to legitimize the persecution of the Jews that had begun.

The last remnant of the north-west station, the closed post office 1204

During the war, the Wehrmacht used the building as a warehouse. In order to relieve the north station, the Deutsche Reichsbahn requested the station back on December 12, 1942 and temporarily repaired it. On November 1, 1943, passenger traffic between the Nordwestbahnhof and Jedlersdorf was resumed. The north-west station was badly damaged by Soviet artillery bombardments during the Vienna operation in April 1945 shortly before the end of the war. The station building was demolished on September 14, 1952. Nevertheless, the trains of the northern railway were dispatched here after the war , because this was interrupted by the blowing up of the northern railway bridge; the Nordwestbahnbrücke ( north bridge ), however, was already open again on August 25, 1945.

The Soviet occupying power needed a rail link to Russia to transport booty from Austria. Therefore, the area was also under (secret) observation of the United States Information Service ( USIS ). In order to connect the north station area and the connecting railway to the south station with the eastern bank of the Danube, a temporary solution, the so-called “Russian loop”, was built. From April 1945, the higher track position of the northern line was reached via a ramp. This 652 m long loop of the Russians led from the easternmost corner of the Nordwestbahnhof to the westernmost tracks of the Nordbahnhof across the confluence of Taborstrasse and Nordbahnstrasse . It was also used by heavy steam locomotives (including the DR class 52 ) and crossed the rails of the tram line “O” on the same level without any technical protection. On January 26, 1959, the loop was shut down in order to allow the completion of the track laying work in the area of ​​the north station.

South-eastern area of ​​the north-west train station. The crane was dismantled in 2017.

After the resumption of scheduled train traffic on the north railway bridge, the new Praterstern station was provisionally put into operation. As a result, passenger handling at the north-west station was finally stopped on May 31, 1959 (or moved to the Praterstern station) and the north-west railway bridge over the Danube was converted into a road bridge. Since the decommissioning of the Nordwestbahnbrücke, the railway tracks in the area of ​​the Brigittenau freight station, near the former bridge, have been connected to the Danube Bank by loops to the north and south .

In the 1970s, the grounds of the north-west train station were expanded into what was then a modern freight and container terminal with crane systems and warehouses. On September 29, 1974, the electrification of the track systems at the station and the access tracks went into operation.

Former Stromstraße material chute

The northernmost entrance to the north-west station area is at Stromstrasse 16a. Until autumn 2003, a now separated junction of tram line 31 led to the disused material slide B63m of Wiener Linien . Due to this system, there is a level difference of about two floors in the western half of the northern tip of the Northwest Railway Station between the level of the Northwest Railway Track and the tram tracks, which are indented in the shape of a valley. The system with the unloading chutes, a total of approx. 250 m long, was used to reload bulk goods (gravel, sand) from full-rail wagons into trucks of the Vienna tram . The transport was coordinated by the so-called freight office in the Wexstrasse depot (BRG), where Hall II was dominated by work vehicles in the 1960s. While the transport of loads by tram was only important due to the war due to horses and a lack of fuel, rail transport to track construction sites lasted until the time of the Vienna subway construction. In the 1970s, road ballast was still being reloaded on the Stromstrasse material chute.

The complex is not yet shown in the general city map of 1912. It was probably built after World War I. Around 2018 there are ÖBB allotment gardens along the west side of the facility. The northern tip and the bus garage are those areas of the north-west train station that are to be converted first, at least according to the 2008 master plan. The construction is to start as phase 1 on the west side. An office focus with two high-rise buildings is planned as an initial project. A green strip is planned to the east.

Re-use of the area: urban development area Nordwestbahnhof

In order to make better use of the Nordwestbahnhof area in the middle of the city, the landowner ÖBB decided in 2006 to gradually move container handling to the ÖBB freight terminal Vienna- Inzersdorf, which was still under construction at the time . The “Güterzentrum Wien Süd” on the outskirts, which opened in 2016 as Vienna's main freight station, can easily handle the container volume of the Vienna Northwest terminal with around 80,000 units per year due to insufficient capacity. The end of the Donauuferbahn , the port of Freudenau (also known as the winter port or Albanian port ) , which is located downstream on the outskirts of the Danube , will benefit from the end of cargo handling at the Nordwestbahnhof . The Danube navigation has lost for different reasons increasingly important. In the meantime, the handling of goods between rail and truck is much more important. There were around 350,000 container transhipment operations in the Port of Vienna in 2018. More than 100 block trains per week leave the port on the Danube Bank in the direction of Europe. Traditional companies with a previous branch at Nordwestbahnhof such as Schenker or Quehenberger are now active at Alberner Hafen.

This should enable a new use of the site in sections: around the period 2020–2025, according to the forecast for 2009, a new district will be built here. The north-west railway station barrier, which today separates the 20th district into two parts, is to be removed. In recent years there has been a large company garage in the north of the station area on Nordwestbahnstraße, which was used by various companies such as ÖBB-Postbus or Verkehrsbetriebe Gschwindl as well as driving schools and the fire brigade.

An urban planning model was initially developed by mid-2007 . On this basis, an architecture competition took place in March 2008 , in which the Swiss firm Ernst Niklaus Fausch Architekten (referred to as ENF Architects Zurich in 2009 ) won first prize. This mission statement was revised again in 2016.

Apartments for 12,000 people, jobs for 5,000 people and a large park are planned on a total of 44 hectares. In 2016, apartments for up to 15,000 people were reported. For this purpose, the area is divided into smaller areas that are to be used by different developers. The buildings will be built in perimeter block development and have the same ridge height at the edges as the neighboring buildings (especially in Universumstrasse , where the new buildings will directly adjoin the old building stock), higher buildings are planned for the central area. The center of the new district will be the "Green Center", a park-like area with pedestrian and cycle paths, but without continuous streets. Your line of sight is oriented towards Leopoldsberg and the Ferris wheel. A tram corridor is planned for public transport between Wallensteinstrasse and Traisengasse, on which a connection (named line 12 in the plans ) is to be made to Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof on the one hand and Praterstern on the other.

On Winarskystraße, Stromstraße, Traisengasse and Taborstraße / Nordbahnstraße, spaces are to be created that will have an entrance function for the district, the latter is also to establish the connection to the emerging Nordbahnviertel .

Three older buildings are to be retained: the post office in Nordwestbahnstraße, a signal box in the northern part of the site and a warehouse.

In autumn 2017, it is expected that around 800,000 m² of gross floor space will be created by 2030. The first land sales to developers are to take place around 2020/21.

A re-use concept based on the example of the High Line Park in New York was developed for the approach route to the former Northwest Station, the rail connection between the Northwest Station and the Vienna Danube Bank Railway (Nussdorf to Vienna Harbor) . The almost 2 km long embankment would enable an uninterrupted foot and bicycle connection to the Danube and enable a network of the entire catchment area to the planned Nordwestbahnhof Park and the Augarten. In particular, the railway bridge over Hellwagstrasse is to be preserved.
