Wulzendorf
Until the 16th century, Wulzendorf was a village near Aspern in what is now the 22nd district of Vienna, Donaustadt . Today Wulzendorf refers to a district southwest of Aspern, which was settled in several stages of urban expansion from the 1920s.
history
The village of Wulzendorf was mentioned in writing as early as 1150, the Stadlauer Urfahrrecht regulates the toll for goods transport across the Danube for the "drew dorffer Asparn, Wulzendorf and Prietenle" (three villages of Aspern, Wulzendorf and Breitenlee ) . The name Wulzendorf can be traced back to the noble von Wulzendorf family , after whom the Lower Austrian Wultendorf was probably once called Wulzendorf. It is known from Wolfgang von Wulzendorfer that in 1434 he concluded a trade in an area near Aspern ( "part of the floodplain at Aspern on the Danube, called the Neubruch and Aichshutt" ).
In 1455 the village was no longer inhabited, and at the beginning of the 16th century, the traces of Wulzendorf were finally blurred. Since before the Viennese regulation of the Danube in the 19th century there were repeatedly devastating floods and ice rushes in the area of today's Danube city, it cannot be ruled out that Wulzendorf was devastated by such a natural disaster and finally abandoned by its residents.
When the nearby Aspern was hit by floods and a fire in 1568 , the desperate population considered moving to the meanwhile deserted Wulzendorf. However, this project was never put into practice.
The exact location of the village is not known, an old place name describes Wulzendorf as "a village with a noble seat in the hallway Aspern and Breitenlee" . An approximate location south of Aspern and north of the Mühlwasser , in the area of today's intersection of Wulzendorfstrasse / Biberhaufenweg, is just as possible as a location north of Aspern and south of Breitenlee.
In 1910, the former Mittlere Feldweg was renamed Wulzendorfstrasse in memory of the "disappeared village" .
In the course of the settler movement of the 1920s , the cooperative terraced housing estate Neues Leben, comprising 29 residential units, was built south of Wulzendorfstrasse in 1921/22 according to a design by the architect Wilhelm Baumgarten . In 1924, the Am Müllnermais settlement, also planned by Wilhelm Baumgarten, was built south of it with 50 residential units; in 1927/28, a further 54 residential units were added to designs by Wilhelm Peterle . The garbage maize settlements are now a listed building ( list entry ).
Even after the Second World War, numerous single-family and terraced houses were built in this area, including the 178 residential unit terraced house complex at Biberhaufenweg 100 in the late 1970s. In the northeast of the settlement area, the small Biberhaufen shopping center was built, which among other things has a supermarket, had a tobacco shop and a hairdresser. The premises of the supermarket ( Klein Kauf , most recently ADEG until 2007 ) are used by the Biberhaufenweg senior club today.
Since 1967 at the latest, a bus line has operated between Kaisermühlen and Wulzendorf. Line 24 ran here until 1974, followed by 22B and since 1982 line 92A has connected the Wulzendorf settlement with the U1 subway line ( Kaisermühlen subway station, Kagran subway station until 1999 ) and the U -Bahn line U2 ( Hardeggasse underground station ).
Today the name Wulzendorf is used in common parlance for the residential areas in the area of Wulzendorfstrasse and can also be found in the names of residential complexes, community centers, residential communities, playgrounds and clubs. In addition, Wulzendorf designates a census district of official statistics that is located between Wulzendorfstrasse and the Mühlwasser and encompasses two census districts.
Longobard Quarter
In the course of Vienna's city expansion , the so-called Langobardenviertel was built in the 1990s on a plot of land previously used for agriculture between Langobardenstrasse and Wulzendorfstrasse. Due to the naming of the newly created traffic areas after Norwegian cities, the name Norwegian Quarter or Norway Quarter has also established itself. The Grätzl is bordered in the north by Langobardenstrasse, in the west by Kapellenweg, in the south by Wulzendorfstrasse and in the east by Stavangergasse and the Asperner Friedhof . In the course of the development of the area, the eastern Wulzendorfstrasse was given a new, straight course.
In the first construction phase, a narrow residential complex designed by Boris Podrecca was built along Kapellenweg. Most construction projects were completed in the mid-1990s; in 1995 there were around 2,700 residential units. Both rental, cooperative and owner-occupied apartments were created, as well as row houses and community buildings . Architects were among others Roland Rainer and Harry Glück . An elementary and special school planned by Hannes Lintl was built on Hammerfestweg . The pastoral care center of St. Catherine of Siena of the parish Aspern, which is also used as an event room, was consecrated on October 19, 1996.
The quarter has four kindergartens, a few playgrounds and numerous green areas. A green corridor with a Salettl and sports field extends in the middle of the area between Wulzendorfstrasse and Langobardenstrasse. The 4,000 m² Trygve Lie Park, designed by landscape architects Jakob Fina and Barbara Bacher, has been located in the east of the district since 1997 . From 2008 to 2010, the Asperner Wies'n youth square with a lounge and outdoor furniture was built on fallow land east of the Trygve Lie Park to create a meeting place for young people in the area away from the parks and playgrounds and sports fields. The local supply infrastructure is ensured by business units in Langobardenstrasse and Bergengasse and includes, among other things, a supermarket, a tobacconist, a pharmacy and a few restaurants.
