The Naschmarkt in Vienna's 6th district , Mariahilf , is the largest inner-city market in the city with an area of ​​2,315 hectares . It lies between the Linke Wienzeile (main exit towards Linz ) and the Rechten Wienzeile (main entrance from the west) on the vaulted Wien River . The Naschmarkt begins in the city center at the Getreidemarkt ( Secession ) on the edge of the central Karlsplatz and extends west to the Kettenbrückengasse subway station . It is considered a Viennese attraction . The market operation has been supplemented by many catering establishments since around 2000.

History and name

Carl Moll : The Naschmarkt in Vienna , 1894, Belvedere , Vienna

From 1780 on there was a farmer's market on the right bank of the then unregulated Wien River outside the city walls, where mainly dairy products were traded. The market, which was officially called Kärntnertormarkt , was opened in the north by the Kärntnertorbrücke (the later Elisabethbrücke, which crossed the river between Kärntner Straße and Kärntner Tor and Wiedner Hauptstraße ), in the east by Wiedner Hauptstraße, in the south by today's Treitlstraße and in the west bounded roughly by today's Operngasse and was thus located on today's Karlsplatz . (Previously there was an urban ash and manure deposit here.) Later, the market expanded along the Wiedner Hauptstrasse next to the Freihaus , today the location of an institute building of the Technical University of Vienna , southwards about to Schaurhofergasse (which only opened when the Freihaus was demolished in 1937 , was created), as the illustrations from around 1900 show.

The market was relocated to this place from Freyung , located within the city walls , after repeated conflicts between the magistrate and the neighboring Schottenkloster had occurred there.

In 1793 it was ordered that all fruit and vegetables delivered on wagons for the city had to be sold at the Carinthian market. All fruit arriving on ships on the Viennese arm of the Danube, today's Danube Canal , however , had to be traded on the Schanzelmarkt , which existed on its banks until around 1900 .

The two possible derivatives of the name Aschenmarkt , which was widespread in the population at the time, go back to the early days of the market . On the one hand, the name can be derived from the earlier use of the area as an ash dump, and it is also possible to adopt the old name “ash” for the milk containers made of ash wood. From around 1820, the name Naschmarkt is documented, which in turn possibly came from the sometimes exotic sweets and goods, such as orange peel and dates pickled in sugar.

In the last decade of the 19th century, the Vienna River was regulated and the Vienna Stadtbahn , which opened here in 1899, was built in a cut on its right bank , the design of which was entrusted to Otto Wagner . His earlier plan to vault the Wien River from the city center to Schönbrunn Palace , the imperial summer residence, and to build a representative boulevard on it, was not implemented for financial reasons; only in the area closest to the center was the river gradually vaulted over a length of 2.1 km.

The market, which was officially renamed Naschmarkt in 1905, was now, beginning in 1902, relocated to today's area on the Wienflusseinwölbung according to the concept of Friedrich Jäckel , whereby half west of the Schleifmühlgasse could only be built after the vaulting there was completed in 1915. From 1910 onwards, more than 120 masonry market stalls were built in a uniform style, and a market office building was built on Kettenbrückengasse in 1915/1916.

In 1916, the area adjoining the market out of town was temporarily expanded as Viktualien markt (wholesale market). Since there was no connection to the railway network at this point in the city, the planned fruit and vegetable wholesale market could not establish itself and this part of the market was soon closed again. Today there is a parking lot at this point, where the Saturday flea market , which has been transferred from Am Hof square, has been taking place since 1977 . The stand fee for private individuals (up to 3 times a year; without a trade license) is € 21.80 for the smallest (smallest) area (1.60 x 2 meters. As of April 2018). In 2016, 29 “black marketeers” (non-payers) were caught in a priority action by the police. The city also incurs relevant costs from the fact that some retailers simply leave unsold items behind. On October 1, 2018, a new market regulation came into force, according to which the Saturday market, the flea market, which opens at 6.30 a.m., closes at 2 p.m. instead of 5 p.m. The move forward is intended to prevent paying traders leaving spaces and reusing them by non-paying traders who leave behind a lot of garbage.

After the end of the First World War , the old part of the market on Karlsplatz was closed in 1919. Plans of the 1970s, the Naschmarkt in favor of the extension of the West highway A1 to the city center abzusiedeln were not realized after protests. The market was modernized in the 1980s. From 2010 to 2016 the store was rebuilt or renewed in sections; the carriageway that crosses the market in the course of Schleifmühlgasse, a relic of the Leopoldsbrücke, which was used there for around 100 years before the vault, is no longer there.

Until the beginning of 2009, the border between the 4th and 6th district ran along the Naschmarkt. To simplify administration, the share of the 4th district was transferred to the 6th district by means of a municipal council resolution, which is why the Naschmarkt is now entirely in the Mariahilfer area. The border of the 4th district now runs on the left, market-side edge of the road on the right Wienzeile.

Mainly fruit, vegetables, baked goods, fish and meat are traded on the Naschmarkt. The market is also known for the range of international goods from the countries of the former Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey and, increasingly, East Asia, especially Japan and China. In some cases, groups of shops with similar goods have emerged. At the end of the city center, near the Secession, there are several fish shops and in the first third of the market some Asian shops.

For several years now, the market has also offered a large selection of restaurants. In the period from 2001 to 2004 in particular, many stalls were converted into restaurants. In the summer of 2005, the city administration stopped this development, but allowed new catering establishments from 2006. Since then, some new locations have been created in newly built stands on former parking lots. The new market regulation 2006 allows catering establishments to stay open until 11 p.m. This is why the Naschmarkt is also very busy in the evening, especially in the summer months.

In 2010 there were 123 fixed market stalls on the Naschmarkt, and another 35 places for rural parties, market drivers on the so-called rural party square. Most stands sell from 6 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. on weekdays and until 6 p.m. on Saturdays.

Renewal of the infrastructure

The municipal market office (Municipal Department 59) carried out "a fundamental infrastructural renovation and revitalization" in 2010–2015. All water (950 m) and power lines (5,750 m) as well as the sewer system (2,050 m) and rainwater drainage were completely renewed, a waste compaction system and a collection point for hazardous substances were built. Traffic areas in the area of ​​the market (1,400 m² concrete blocks, 2,930 m² concrete area) were renewed and made barrier-free. The total cost of the work was given in spring 2010 at € 14.7 million. Previously, the historic Art Nouveau candelabra had already been removed in January 2010, causing a heated discussion about new lights. 

The Wiental cycle path, which runs along the river from the Auhof near the western city limits of Vienna, is currently still interrupted in the area of ​​the Naschmarkt because there is an extreme lack of space in and around the market due to the dense car traffic on the two lines of Vienna . Closing the gap was discussed in the city administration; the planned abandonment of car parking spaces in favor of the cycle path met with strong criticism.

Surroundings

The Theater an der Wien is located at Linken Wienzeile 6 . In the area of Schleifmühlgasse closes in the 4th district of the market and the rights Wienzeile the Freihausviertel to that experienced in recent years an upswing and has a range of designer and delicatessens and restaurants.
