History & character
From Froschheim to Elisabeth-Vorstadt
Elisabeth-Vorstadt, formerly known as Froschheim, developed after the regulation of the Salzach River and the demolition of the Lodron city fortifications in 1861. The name Froschheim, which refers to the numerous frogs and frequent floods, was already noted in the oldest survey plan from 1789. Originally, the district consisted of small farming hamlets and underwent significant urbanization with the construction of the Salzburg main train station and railway facilities. The renaming of Froschheimer Hauptstraße to Elisabethstraße occurred in honor of Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary in 1904. Today, Elisabeth-Vorstadt is a district that combines urban residential blocks and high-rise buildings with villa-like residential areas, characterized by greenery. The district, home to about 7,500 residents, offers a blend of proximity to the Salzach River and urban infrastructure, making it an interesting residential area in Salzburg.

Real travel time per inhabited location (250 m grid, clipped to the real district boundary) to destinations in Salzburg. Transit from the schedule router (Day = peak, Late = after 11pm), bike/walk/car over the street network (car computed without traffic, so rush hour takes correspondingly longer).

Light & shadow
Check the light anywhere. Type an address or click the map, pick a floor and drag through the day. The buildings cast their real shadows. Pan the map to explore.

Real building heights (OpenStreetMap footprints with heights from the BEV laser scan), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation. At the foot of the Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg this weighs heavily: in winter both sit at 25 to 28 degrees, higher than the sun ever climbs there (just under 19).
