History & character
From Former Vineyards to Urban Center
The Alsergrund is the 9th district of Vienna and has its roots in an area that was partially used for viticulture in the Middle Ages. Originally, river arms of the Danube flowed through the area, including the Salzgriesarm, the course of which is only faintly discernible in the topography today. Over time, the waterways silted up and were eventually filled in. The district was formed in 1850 from seven suburbs, the names of which are still preserved as district parts today. The heavy construction has significantly altered the original landscape, and the few remaining elevation differences are shaped by urban development.
Today, Alsergrund is a densely populated district, with 58.9% of its area designated as building land. Despite the high density of construction, there are also public facilities and cultural offerings that shape the district's character. The district is particularly known for its Gründerzeit quarters and offers an urban living space that reflects its historical development and former agricultural uses.
Transit connections
Lines and modes from OpenStreetMap, frequency from the timetable (Wiener Linien and ÖBB): local stops within walking distance, stations counted a little wider. As of: September 2026.
Access · travel time
Where can you get from here, by which mode, to which destination? The map colours every location in the district by real travel time (dark = fast).
Real travel time per inhabited location (250 m grid, clipped to the real district boundary) to destinations in Vienna. 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).

Climate & environment
On hot summer days, local cooling matters. With ≈270 trees per spot: plenty of local cooling on hot days.
Public street and park trees from the City of Vienna tree register, counted within 300 m of each inhabited spot. More trees mean more shade (climate) and more green (location). Private gardens are not included.

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.
