History & character
From Suburb to Building Protection Zone
St. Ulrich was an independent suburb until 1850 and was first documented in 1202 as Zeismannsbrunn. The mint master Dietrich founded a chapel dedicated to St. Ulrich in 1211, leading to the name being adopted by the surrounding settlement. Over the centuries, various property complexes emerged, which were involved in ongoing conflicts between Vienna and the Schottenstift. By 1314, the area was densely built up and developed into a grabenangerdorf, with many houses destroyed during the Turkish sieges of Vienna. St. Ulrich also played a role in the Reformation, but was elevated to its own parish during the Counter-Reformation. A fire in 1835 destroyed almost the entire village, and today only a few remnants of the old settlement remain, particularly around the St. Ulrich Square with its Baroque houses and medieval walls.
Today, St. Ulrich is a district in the 7th Vienna municipal district Neubau and is defined as a building protection zone. The character of the area is shaped by its historical development, which is reflected in its architecture and urban structure.

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.
