History & character
From Hagenau to Gersthof's Tranquility
Gersthof is a district in the 18th Vienna municipal district Währing, first mentioned in a purchase deed in 1497. The name derives from a farm that belonged to a Georg Gerstler. Previously, the place was known as Hagenau or Hohenau. Over the centuries, Gersthof remained small and quaint, with only a few houses and a low population. After the dissolution of the Dorothean convent in 1786, the area came under the ownership of the Klosterneuburg Monastery. Growth began in the second half of the 19th century, encouraged by the Vienna Housing Reform Association. By 1890, Gersthof already had 317 houses and became part of the 18th Vienna municipal district.
