History & character
From Zeismannsbrunn to Modern Neubau
Neubau has its roots in the village of Zeismannsbrunn, which has been named after the patron of St. Ulrich's Church since 1302. From 1693, the western part of St. Ulrich became known as the independent place Neubau. The district was incorporated into the Vienna city area in 1850 and designated as the 7th municipal district in 1861. The buildings mainly date from the period between 1880 and 1910 and were characterized by numerous industrial enterprises. The Spittelberg had a bad reputation at that time, while Neubaugasse became the center of the Austrian film industry in the early 1920s. With the opening of the MuseumsQuartier in 2001, the district gained a significant cultural attraction that shapes the cityscape and attracts the population. Today, Neubau is a vibrant district characterized by a mix of historical buildings and modern facilities.

Real building heights (official Vienna building model, computed from the BEV laser scan in the surroundings), 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. In Vienna the terrain rarely matters: ten minutes in the Innere Stadt, and just as little at the Döbling vineyards, where the slope lies to the north-west and never touches the southern sun. It only tells in the Wienerwald valleys, at Kalksburg a good two hours on 21 December.
