Nein, die Geschichte der U-Bahn reicht viel weiter zurück, nämlich in das 19. Jahrhundert. Eine erste große Ausschreibung, ein erster Planungswettbewerb fand bereits in den 1870er Jahren statt, blieb jedoch vorerst ohne konkrete Folgen. Die Planung eines umfassenden öffentlichen Verkehrsnetzes war eng mit der Entwicklung der Stadt und deren politischen bzw. geographischen Grenzen verbunden. In diesem Zusammenhang sind zunächst die Eingemeindungen der Jahre 1850 (Vorstädte) bzw. 1890 (Vororte) zu nennen. Noch wichtiger als die formale Erweiterung der Stadt waren jedoch die Abtragung der alten Stadtbefestigung und die Schaffung der Ringstraße einerseits sowie die Beseitigung des Linienwalles, der 1704 als zweiter Befestigungsring um die Stadt angelegt worden war, andererseits. Die Beseitigung dieser Hindernisse war

Michael J. Zeps S.J. Marquette University, [email protected] Preface While doing research in Vienna for my dissertation on relations between Church and State in Austria between the wars I became intrigued by the outward appearance of the public housing projects put up by Red Vienna at the same time. They seemed to have a martial cast to them not at all restricted to the famous Karl-Marx-Hof so, against advice that I would find nothing, I decided to see what could be found in the archives of the Stadtbauamt to tie the architecture of the program to the civil war of 1934 when the structures became the principal focus of conflict. I found no direct tie anywhere in the documents but uncovered some circumstantial evidence that might be explored in the future. One reason for publishing these notes is to save researchers from the same dead end I ran into. This is not to say no evidence was ever present because there are many missing documents in the sequence which might turn up in the future—there is more than one complaint to be found about staff members taking documents and not returning them—and the socialists who controlled the records had an interest in denying any connection both before and after the civil war. Certain kinds of records are simply not there including assessments of personnel which are in the files of the Magistratsdirektion not accessible to the public and minutes of most meetings within the various Magistrats Abteilungen connected with the program.

  • How Water and Its Use Shaped the Spatial Development of Vienna
    Water Hist (2016) 8:301–328 DOI 10.1007/s12685-016-0169-7 How water and its use shaped the spatial development of Vienna 1 2 3 Friedrich Hauer • Severin Hohensinner • Christina Spitzbart-Glasl Received: 2 February 2015 / Accepted: 9 July 2016 / Published online: 2 August 2016 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Telling an environmental history of Vienna’s urban waters, this paper advocates the compound study of the evolution of fluvial and urban form. It traces the structural permanence of diverse types of running waters in a period of massive urban transformation from early modern times to present. The focus on the material effects, side-effects and afterlives of socio-natural processes offers novel perspectives to the reconstruction of city development. The featured cases show that long-term studies are vital in understanding the genesis of urban water bodies and urban form as a product of socio-natural processes. They inform us about the inertia of arrangements and the unforeseen perpetuation of site-specific effects of interventions. Societal interaction with natural elements such as Vienna’s waters, we conclude, reverberates in the material and immaterial realm alike.

  • Re-Opening of Otto Wagner's Imperial
    Vienna, June 2014 RE-OPENING OF OTTO WAGNER’S IMPERIAL COURT PAVILION AT HIETZING STATION Press conference: Freyday, 13 June 2014, 10.30 a.m. Exhibition venue: Otto Wagner Pavilon at Hietzing station Adress: Schönbrunner Schloßstraße, 1130 Vienna (U4 station) Open House: 21 and 22 June, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Free entry! Opening hours: Saturday and Sundays, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Press photos: www.wienmuseum.at/de/presse Otto Wagner's Pavilion at Hietzing station is shining with renewed splendour following extensive restoration works. The Wien Museum venue, a metropolitan rail station designed exclusively to serve the Emperor and his court, was closed in 2011 when the need for repair and restoration works had become apparent. A restoration project was launched in 2012 and carried out by Wehdorn Architekten, the City of Vienna's chosen contractor for the venture, in close cooperation with Austria's Bundesdenkmalamt (federal monuments authority) and Andreas Nierhaus, Wien Museum's curator for architecture. With the recent completion of the restoration works and the re-opening of the Court Pavilion on 21 June, a key work of Viennese modernist architecture will once again be accessible to the public. "Otto Wagner's Court Pavilion counts as one of Vienna's outstanding cultural monuments and is known beyond Austria's borders. Originally completed in 1899, the building was exposed to the elements for more than 110 years, which left its traces especially on the outer building shell, necessitating the restoration of this gem of Viennese architecture.

  • Historic Centre of Vienna
    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract In the relation between urban development and the Viennese Danube different periods can be identified from the late 17th to the early 20th century. These periods were strongly intertwined with both the history of the river and the history of the city. Urban expansion into the floodplains is demonstrated in this paper by investigating the island Unterer Werd, next to the city centre. In the late 17th century the fluvial dynamic still hampered urban development on the island. First measures to stabilise the river banks and to protect buildings from floods were taken soon thereafter, but the majority of practices aimed at mitigating the risks and impacts of the frequent floods: inundation was a part of the arrangement and the main target was to minimise the potential impacts. This practice also prevailed after the 1830s, when urban expansion began to move into the north and northwest of the island and the Danube floodplains were considered an important land resource for the growing city.

Conference site Vienna, a city with about 2 million inhabitants is situated in the heart of Europe. It is a city on which its ever-changing history has left an indelible mark, manifested also in the rich cultural heritage. The city's ultimate fascination stems from combining imperial grandeur with the explosive modernity that emerged from the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
