Schuhmeierplatz 13

Ottakring is a district in the west of Vienna and borders on the districts of Penzing, Hernals, Neubau and Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus. Approximately 105,000 inhabitants live on an area of almost 9 km². Ottakring, the 16th district of Vienna, is a former industrial district, which today is appreciated for its multiculturalism and growing urbanity. The diversity of the district is already evident in its topography: the hilly foothills of the Vienna Woods are located in the western part of the district and flatten out further and further into the city. On the Wilhelminenberg there is room for long walks and the Wilhelminenberg Palace, built in imperial style, is also located there.

The further one moves into the city towards the Wiener Stadthalle, the more urban development one finds. Not only the largest brewery in Vienna, the Ottakringer Brauerei, but also the longest street market in the city, the Brunnenmarkt, is located here. Locals like to call it "Orient around the corner" and use not only the shopping opportunities, but also the attractive culinary offerings that have settled around the Yppenplatz. Fans of traditional Viennese cuisine will not be disappointed either, as the 10er Marie, the oldest Heuriger in Vienna, has been serving guests with this year's Vienna and local fare since 1740.
