History & character
From Agricultural Land to Residential Area
Unterbaumgarten, a part of the 14th district of Penzing in Vienna, has its roots in the year 1195 when the area was first mentioned as Pomerio. At that time, the region was primarily characterized by agricultural land and some vineyards. The town center originally stretched between today's Zehetnergasse and Pachmanngasse. Over the centuries, the settlement expanded westward. The Linzer Straße, which runs through the area, was known as Poststraße in the Middle Ages and served as an important transportation route. In 1850, Unterbaumgarten was merged into the municipality of Baumgarten and experienced significant growth in the late 19th century when the number of houses doubled.
Today, Unterbaumgarten is a quiet residential area that stands out for its proximity to the Wienfluss and surrounding recreational areas. Its geographical location in the southeastern part of the Penzing district offers a nature-oriented environment that is attractive to both families and commuters. The blend of historical influences and modern residential structures gives this neighborhood its 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.
