History & character
From the Rüdenhaus to the District of Hundsturm
Hundsturm, first mentioned in 1632, developed around a Rüdenhaus built in 1600 by Archduke Matthias. The name Hundsturm may derive from this Rüdenhaus or the former Hundsmühle. In the 17th century, the settlement emerged mainly along Schönbrunner Straße. From 1842, the Hundsturm estate belonged to the city of Vienna, and between 1849 and 1850, the area was briefly an independent municipality before becoming part of the 4th district, Wieden, in 1850. In 1861/1862, Hundsturm was assigned to the 5th district, Margareten. In the 19th century, the suburb of Hundsturm included an area outside the Linienwall, which was increasingly developed from 1894 onward. Today, Hundsturm is an urban district characterized by its cultural institutions, such as the Volkstheater.

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.
