History & character
From Settlement to Urban Development
Neulerchenfeld was founded after the devastating effects of the Second Turkish Siege of Vienna. The oldest part of Ottakring was completely destroyed in 1683, which led many survivors to settle closer to the city. Initially known as Unter-Ottakring, the area was named Neulerchenfeld around 1703. The settlement grew rapidly, counting 150 houses with about 3,000 inhabitants by 1732. While Neulerchenfeld was initially characterized by craftsmanship, it experienced a significant upswing from 1872 when it became an independent municipality and, due to the building boom from 1850 to 1890, its population rose to over 45,000. Today, Neulerchenfeld is an urban district in the 16th Viennese district of Ottakring, characterized by multi-storey tenement houses and a diverse residential culture.

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.
