History & character
From Upper Court to Urban District
Schottenfeld was originally part of the Upper Court or St. Ulrich Court and belonged to Dietrich the Rich in the 13th century. Over the centuries, the area changed hands frequently until the Schottenstift took over the lease of the Upper Court in 1629. From 1719 onwards, large-scale construction of the Schottenäcker began, benefiting especially manufacturing businesses that found too little space within the city walls. Schottenfeld was elevated to its own suburb in 1777 and already had 129 houses and 20,000 inhabitants by 1779. The development of the district was marked by social and economic challenges, including the cholera epidemic of 1831 and the provision of soldiers during the French Wars.
Today, Schottenfeld is an urban district in the 7th district of Vienna, Neubau, characterized by its protected building zone and a mix of residential and commercial use. The local vernacular refers to the area between Schottenfeldgasse and Burggasse as Brillantengrund, highlighting the cultural significance of the district.

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.
