History & character
From Vineyards to Urban District
Magdalenengrund was an independent municipality between 1848 and 1850 and developed into a district in the 6th Vienna municipal district, Mariahilf. The name comes from the Maria Magdalene Chapel, which stood on St. Stephen's Square until 1781. Originally, the area was characterized by vineyards and was called Im Saugraben an der Wien auf der Gstätten. With the construction of the area in the 18th century, problems with vermin arose, giving the district the colloquial name Ratzenstadl. In 1799, Magdalenengrund was acquired by the city of Vienna and incorporated in 1850. The renovation of the district began in the early 20th century, and after World War II, the last remnants of the old buildings disappeared.

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.
