History & character
From Forest Area to Urban Settlement
Gatterhölzl derives its name from the Middle High German word "chatte", referring to a small building without its own ground. In the Middle Ages, the area was characterized by a dense forest, home to a "chatter mill". With the construction of the hunting palace Katterburg and the partial clearing of the forest by Emperor Joseph II, the transformation began. From 1830 onwards, the Green Mountain developed into a popular excursion destination with the Tivoli amusement park. Settlement increased in the 19th century, and initial plans for a church emerged in 1901. After World War I, a temporary church was built, which was later elevated to parish church status. The construction of the current church took place between 1955 and 1959 and has since shaped the local landscape. Today, Gatterhölzl is an urban district with beautiful residential buildings and a vibrant community, preserving its roots in the nature and history of the region.

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.
