History & character
From Suburb to Urban Neighborhood
Thurygrund, also known as Thury or Thuryvorstadt, was an independent municipality until 1850 and has developed over the centuries into a district in the 9th district of Vienna, Alsergrund. The settlement of the area dates back to the time of the Crusades when a hospitium for strangers was founded. The name St. Johann an der Siechenals refers to a hospital established in 1179. During the first Turkish siege of Vienna, the church and the hospital of Siechenals were destroyed. Johann Thury, a brick manufacturer, built the first building in this area in 1646 after a long period of uninhabitation. In honor of Thury, the emerging suburb was named after him. While the southern part of Thurygrund was already settled in the early 18th century, the northern part remained characterized by brickworks for a long time. Today, Thurygrund is a quiet neighborhood with a distinct identity, where the Canisius Church, consecrated in 1903, shapes the cityscape.

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.
