History and name
From 1780 there was on the right bank of the then unregulated river Wien outside the city walls, a farmer's market, on the predominantly dairy products were traded. The market, which was officially called Kärntnertormarkt, was the north by the Kärntnertorbrücke (later the Elizabeth bridge that crossed the river between Kärntner Straße and Carinthian Gate and Wiedner Hauptstrasse), to the east by the Wiedner Hauptstrasse, in the south by the current Treitlstraße and in the West bounded approximately by the present Operngasse and found itself on the present Karlsplatz. ( Previously, this was a urban ash and dung deposition space. ) Later, the market spread along Wiedner Hauptstrasse near the open- house, now the site of an institute building of the Technical University of Vienna, south to about the Schaurhofergasse (the first during the demolition of the open house, 1937 arose ), as the pictures show from the early 1900's.
The market was moved to this place from the inland city walls Freyung after it had come there to repeated conflicts between the magistrate and the anrainenden Scots Monastery.
1793 was ordered that everything should go to car for the city supplied fruit and vegetables on the Kärntnertormarkt for sale. Everything on ships in the Vienna branch of the Danube, today's Danube Canal, arriving fruit had to be traded on the other hand Schanzelmarkt existing on its banks until 1900.
In the early days of the market the two possible derivations of the then widespread in the population name ash market go back. On one hand, the name can be derived from the previous use of the site as ash landfill is also possible to take over the old name " Asch " for the made of ash wood milk container. From about 1820, the designation Naschmarkt is occupied, which in turn may partly from the exotic sweets and goods, such as sugar pickled orange peel and dates, stemmed.
In the last decade of the 19th century Vienna flow was controlled and built on its right bank in a cut here in 1899 opened Vienna's city web whose design Otto Wagner was transferred. His former plan, the Vienna river from the city center to the Schönbrunn Palace, the imperial summer residence, and it einzuwölben to build a representative Boulevard, was not realized for reasons of cost; only in the center of the next area, the river was gradually vaulted to 2.1 km in length.
The 1905 officially renamed Naschmarkt market has now, starting in 1902, according to the concept of Friedrich Jäckel moved to its current site on the Wienflusseinwölbung, with half west Schleifmühlgasse only after completion of the local indentation, 1915, could be built. From 1910 to more than 120 brick-built market stalls were built in native style, with Kettenbrückengasse a market office building was 1915/1916 created.
1916 out of town adjacent to the market area was expanded temporarily as Viktualienmarkt ( wholesale market ). Since at this point the city was no connection to the railway network, the planned fruit and vegetable wholesale market could not be established, and this part of the market was abandoned soon. Today there is a car park at this point, takes place on the since 1977 by the Am Hof square here transferred Saturday's flea market.
After the end of the First World War, the old part of the market in 1919, dissolved at Karlsplatz. Plans from the 1970s, abzusiedeln the Naschmarkt in favor of the extension of the A1 western motorway from the city center were not realized after protests. In the 1980s, the market has been modernized. 2010-2016, the market is partially rebuilt or replaced; the market crossing the road in the course of Schleifmühlgasse, relict of about 100 years before the busy vaulting there Leopoldsbrücke should then be omitted.
By early 2009, the limit 4 to 6 district was longitudinally through the Naschmarkt. To simplify administration, the proportion of the 4th district was transferred to the 6th district by council decision, which is why the Naschmarkt is now entirely on Mariahilfer area. The border of the 4th District now runs on the left, market- side edge of the road right-wing Vienna line.
