Obermeidling

History & character

From Suburb to Vienna District

Obermeidling is a district part of the 12th municipal district Meidling in Vienna and was an independent municipality in the 19th century. In 1806, the Viennese suburb of Meidling was divided into Obermeidling and Untermeidling. The new municipality included a row of houses on the "Anger an der Wien" as well as villas on the Grünen Berg. The densely built area is bounded by the Wienfluss, Grünbergstraße, Tivoligasse, and Rotenmühlgasse. The historical center of Meidling fell to Untermeidling. In 1830, the Tivoli amusement establishment opened in the south of Obermeidling, and its operation ceased in 1967. In 1890/1892, Obermeidling was incorporated into Vienna and has belonged to the 12th district since then.

Today, Obermeidling presents itself as a quiet urban quarter, distinguished by its proximity to nature and historical elements. Its location on the Grünen Berg and its closeness to Schloss Schönbrunn give the district a unique character.

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.
