History & character
From Spitalberg to the Spittelberg District
Spittelberg was an independent municipality until 1850, deriving its name from the Bürgerspital, which acquired the area in 1525. Initially, it was grazing land managed by various farms, without developing into a village. In the 17th century, a significant number of Burgenland Croats settled in the region, leading to the formation of a Croatian village that was destroyed during the Second Turkish Siege of Vienna. After reconstruction, Spittelberg maintained a poor reputation until the mid-20th century due to its dense construction being considered unhealthy and the area being a hub for prostitution. In 1850, Spittelberg became part of the new Neubau district in Vienna.
Today, Spittelberg showcases luxury renovations and gentrification. The well-preserved Biedermeier houses and narrow streets give a glimpse into the original village. The district is known for its annual Christmas market and has developed into a vibrant scene area alongside the neighboring MuseumsQuartier, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Vienna.

Real travel time per inhabited location (250 m grid, clipped to the real district boundary) to destinations in Vienna. Transit from the schedule router (Day = peak, Late = after 11pm), bike/walk/car over the street network (car computed without traffic, so rush hour takes correspondingly longer).

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.
