History & character
From Street Settlement to Urban Neighborhood
Nikolsdorf is a suburban area of Vienna founded between 1555 and 1568, developed as a planned street settlement. The name is derived either from Nikolaus Olai, the Archbishop of Gran, or from the convent of St. Nikolai in Singerstraße. By the early 17th century, Nikolsdorf had its own judge and was purchased by the municipality of Vienna in 1727. It was incorporated in 1850 as part of the new 4th district Wieden and was assigned to the 5th district Margareten in 1862. Today, Nikolsdorf presents itself as an urban neighborhood with a characteristic mix of historical and modern elements, catering to the needs of its residents.

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.
