History & character
From Toll Station to Urban Development
Zwischenbrücken was once an independent municipality, its name deriving from its location between two Danube bridges. The large and small Tabor bridges, built in the 17th century, enabled the settlement of the area. Toll collectors and soldiers constructed the first buildings, accompanied by inns and ship mills. The Johannes Nepomuk Chapel, built in 1769, is a testament to the area's ecclesiastical history. In the 19th century, Zwischenbrücken experienced a boom with the construction of the Kaiser Ferdinand North Railway and the establishment of industrial enterprises. In 1850, it was incorporated into Vienna and underwent significant changes due to the Danube regulation from 1870, leading to the demolition of part of the area. The historical name remains visible today within the district borders.
Today, Zwischenbrücken is an urban district in the 2nd and 20th districts of Vienna, characterized by a mix of residential and commercial buildings, as well as its proximity to new urban developments. The former peripheral location has transformed in recent years as the area becomes increasingly integrated into the central city.

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.
