History & character
From Parade Square to Nibelungenviertel
The Nibelungenviertel, located in the district part of Fünfhaus, has its roots in the 19th century when the Parade and Drill Ground Schmelz was situated on the Wiener Schmelz. From 1911, the southern and eastern parts were released for development. Starting in 1912, a new residential area emerged, with streets named after figures from the Nibelungenlied, which gave the district its name. Construction was interrupted by World War I, but by 1926, gaps in the building were filled with residential houses and cooperative and municipal buildings. The central Kriemhildplatz forms the heart of the district, which is also known as Kriemhildviertel. Planned cultural institutions like the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph City Museum were never realized; instead, the Wiener Stadthalle and the Stadthallenbad now characterize the area. The enclosed nature of the district is enhanced by the surrounding streets and squares, contributing to the recognizability of the Nibelungenviertel.
