Weißenböckstraße 41

Welcome to 1110 Vienna

The 11th district, also known as "Simmering", is located at the southern end of Vienna and borders directly on the Danube Canal. Unique for Vienna is the very high proportion of grassland of almost 45%, which is largely used for growing vegetables agriculturally. Due to the proximity to the Danube Canal as well as the location at the city border, many traditional industrial companies such as Siemens, Steyr and other companies have settled in Simmering. Due to the very good traffic connection by the eastern freeway A4, on the one hand the airport Schwechat can be reached in a few minutes by car and on the other hand southeastern areas like the Neusiedlersee are only a short drive away, without having to drive through the city center. The lifeline of Simmering is the Simmeringer Hauptstraße, which crosses almost the entire district and connects Simmering with the inner districts of Vienna, as well as offering residents an excellent range of local suppliers, shopping centers and gastronomy.

Discover the surroundings

Simmering is the district where suburb and big city are combined. The historical origins of Simmering can be traced back to the Bronze Age. However, Simmering first gained economic importance around 1605 with a brewery, which was one of the most important sources of income for over three centuries. The Weißenböckstraße property is located rather on the south-western edge of the district. The location can be described ideally as a place of rest, but also as an ideal place to get to the city quickly and easily.

Vienna Central Cemetery

With an area of almost 2.5 km², the Vienna Central Cemetery is one of the largest cemeteries in Europe. Due to the enormous area and the large wooded areas, the cemetery is also used as a recreational area. In addition to the diverse fauna, the Central Cemetery provides a habitat for around 20 deer and other animals such as kestrels, badgers and martens. Originally opened in 1874, the Central Cemetery is home to three million buried Viennese, significantly more than currently live in Vienna. Because of the many honorary graves and Art Nouveau buildings, the Central Cemetery is also one of Vienna's sights.

Kurpark Oberlaa

The Kurpark Oberlaa is located on the southeast slope of the Laaer Berg in Vienna-Favoriten. Although the park is located in Vienna's 10th district, it is only a 10-minute drive from the property. Characteristic for the popular spa park is its division into different spa areas and the large number of water areas. Since its creation, the spa park has been in a constant process of development and change. The rose hill, which is located within the area, was completely replanted in 2019. In addition to roses, grasses, lavender and other perennials are increasingly used in combination. Among other things, you will also find the Allergy Garden, the Baroque Fountain Garden, a flower labyrinth, the Film City and a Japanese Garden. Furthermore, you will also find much more that will delight young and adult.

Simmeringer Hauptstrasse

Simmeringer Hauptstraße runs right through the entire eleventh district and forms the lifeline of the 11th district with countless stores, restaurants and cafés as well as several shopping centers. The origins of the Simmeringer Hauptstraße can be found in the can already be found in the Roman Empire. Thus, the Limesstraße was already used by soldiers to march to Carnuntum. Via the highway exit Gürtel/Landstraße the Simmeringer Hauptstraße can be reached at the northern end and borders St. Marx and the Vienna Biocenter. The Simmeringer Hauptstraße leads via Enkplatz to the U3 terminus Simmering and ends at the Central Cemetery of Vienna.

Gasometer

The four former gigantic gas containers were revitalized around the turn of the millennium and now offer a huge entertainment center as well as an event hall, about 600 apartments and a student dormitory. The original 6 gas tanks have been considered landmarks of Simmering ever since they were built in 1896, as they could be seen from almost everywhere at a height of around 70 meters. Before the revitalization, the domed rooms were used for various exhibitions and even provided a unique film set for the James Bond film "The Touch of Death". For each of the four gasometers, an individual concept with village character was developed by one of the four architects Jean Nouvel, Wolf D. Prix, Manfred Wehdorn and Wilhelm Holzbauer.

Simmeringer Haide and Albern Harbor

The former pasture area and the topographically rather inconspicuous Simmeringer Haide today contribute significantly to the landscape of the 11th district. Since the Simmeringer Haide has been intensively farmed by farmers for vegetable and grain cultivation, glass houses stretch for miles and supply the Viennese and residents of Simmering with fresh vegetables. Thanks to its unique location and atmosphere, the former commercial port of Albern is nowadays used extensively for open-air events.
