History & character
From Settlement to Urban Neighborhood
The Jägerzeile originated as a settlement for retired court hunters of Emperor Maximilian II, who were granted building plots in the Venediger Au since 1569. The road to the city became known as Jägerzeile, and by 1660 the definitive name developed. The suburb bordered Leopoldstadt to the north and included the area of the Wurstelprater and the sparsely populated Venediger Au. In 1841, the land ownership came into the possession of the city of Vienna. Today, Jägerzeile is a district in the 2nd municipal district, with its building protection zone extending between Praterstraße and Czerningasse. The character of the area is shaped by a blend of historical settlement and urban development, making it a quiet and pleasant residential location in Leopoldstadt.

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.
