The Neubaugasse is one of the most famous shopping streets in Vienna and is located in the 7th district of the same name, the new building, a very urban district. It is also not a typical shopping street with large shops because of the comparatively tight space, but characterized by many small shops and restaurants. It ranges from Lerchenfelder Straße (border to the 8th district) in the north through the entire district and flows in the south of the 7th district on the largest shopping street in Vienna, Mariahilfer Straße (border with the 6th district). Since the renovation in 2020, the area between Mariahilfer Straße and Burggasse has been designed as an encounter zone; The section between Mariahilfer Straße and Lindengasse is closed to general through traffic.

The Neubaugasse was built in 1550 after the first Turkish covering. At that time, as a long alley, she only ran to Burggasse. When the first houses of this suburb of Vienna were built along the street in 1770, it was given the name New construction main street .

After the incorporation to Vienna in 1850 and the extension to Lerchenfelder Straße, it was renamed Neubaugasse in 1862.

In Neubaugasse you will find houses from the Wilhelminian era and the time of the Vienna Secession. The Renaissance theater has been on No. 38 since 1912, built into a residential and commercial building.

Under the adress Neubaugasse 33 the toy and figure manufacturer Emil Pfeiffer had its seat. [first]

Well -known personalities who were born or worked on Neubaugasse were, among others, Paul I. Esterházy de Galantha, who had a summer residence built here in 1685 (two years later he was raised to the princely stand), the composer Carl Michael Ziehrer, the sculptor Franz Steinfeld and the Viennese historian Anton Ferdinand Reichsritter of Geusau. From 1861 to 1866, the mechanic and automotive pioneer Siegfried Marcus operated his telegraph building institution in house no. 70. In 1928 the rental house No. 5 attracted public attention when the building was led by KUN Bolshevik propaganda was identified. [2]

Conversion to the meeting zone in June 2020

The Neubaugasse was opened up in the second half of the 19th century with a horseomous line. On August 20, 1900, the route of the later 13er, without a horse tramway, was put into operation for the electric tram. With the introduction of the line scheme, line 3, which drove from the Südbahnhof through the 4th to 9th district of the Northwest Railway station in the 20th district, through the alley, from January 9, 1913, it was also and after In 1945 instead of the 3 SERA, the tram line 13 (Südbahnhof – 8. / 9., Alser Straße), which ran from December 1, 1947 to July 1, 1961.

On July 2, 1961, this was replaced by a bus line (then 13, now 13a); This gained awareness through the bus buses used until 1990. [3] Neubaugasse today is part of a significant tangential connection through the inner districts, especially for the public transport of Vienna. Since 2010, the re -establishment of a tram line through the alley has been discussed.

The alley is also opened up by the crossing lines 46 (Lerchenfelder Straße at the northern alley end) and 49 of the tram (Siebensternengasse and Westbahnstrasse) and 48a (Autobus, to the city center: Burggasse, from the city center: Neustiftgasse). At the southern end of the alley has been located in Mariahilfer Straße, the NeubauGasse subway station on the U3 line, which replaced tram lines 52 and 58 in Inner Mariahilfer Straße.

The Neubaugasse is in its entire length one -way street towards Mariahilfer Straße. From Mariahilfer Straße to Burggasse, it can also be used by cyclists and from the urban bus in the opposite direction. From Lindengasse, the passage for motorized private transport is prohibited.

After the decision of the city of Vienna, Neubaugasse was converted into a meeting zone from January 2020. This was opened on September 4, 2020. [4]

Film [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

With the bloom of the Austrian silent film between 1918 and 1923, Neubaugasse and adjacent roads developed into a film district, where almost all companies working in the film were based or at least a branch. Hardly a house in which not at least one film rental, film producer, Filmanwalt, a film bookstore, a film café or various film suppliers had their branch, the more closer to Mariahilfer Straße.

Even after this phase, the area remained the film district, and only with the “connection” to Germany, 1938, and the subsequent destruction of the film industry, which was mostly led by Jews, should have ended the history of the film district.

Today there are only a few branches of national and international companies working in the film industry on Neubaugasse and neighboring streets such as Mariahilfer Straße and Siebensternengasse. In addition, the industry is much more focused on some dominant companies, while dozens of film distributors and producers were divided in front of 1938. Film equipment companies and other specialized companies were also concentrated in Neubaugasse at the time. [5]
