Only 2.9% of the district area is used for such a purpose, and all green areas of the district are parks.

History

The oldest settlement in the area of ​​today's borough was the village Zeismannsbrunn. Since 1302, the settlement is, but after the saint of the Church of St. Ulrich. St. Ulrich was the main stronghold of Protestantism in Vienna. 1693, the western part of St. Ulrich was separated from the basic rule as an independent place new. A little further west there was a settlement in the possession of the Scots pin that was called Neustift. Also just outside was the Schottenfeld, which was also referred to as brilliant reason or reason for its silk industry and the consequent wealth. ( The Seidengasse reminded. )

In contrast, the Spittelberg had (formerly Spitalberg ) has a very bad reputation. The very dense development was not conducive to health, as well as the settlement was a hotbed of prostitution. Today this district is an example of gentrification.

1848/1849 the feudal manorial system in Austria was dissolved; 1849 with imperial patent of 17 March 1849 was a temporary community law for all countries of the monarchy, except the Hungarian adopted, in which it was determined: suburbs always have to make with the city proper a single local church. Therefore, today the district of Neubau forming Viennese suburbs were not independent, but in 1849 assumed as formerly schutzunterthänige suburban communities the Vienna City Council and incorporated in 1850 as the 6th district named New formally to Vienna. After the division of Wieden's new building in 1861 became the 7th district, a year later, the district boundaries were redrawn, which means that small parts of the former suburbs Mariahilf, Laimgrube and Altlerchenfeld came to the 7th district.

The western boundary of the district construction ran from the Bernardgasse to Stollgasse one block east (! ) Of the 1870 scale to 1890s belt, thus by Wimbergergasse and Kenyongasse. The Urban Loritz place also counted yet for the 15th district. By state law of 28 December 1904, specified that this county line was moved to the belt road. In the associated promulgation of the Lower Austrian governor of 7 June 1905, specifies that the new western border of the 7th district of the " western boundary of the rail body " get lost ( thus the inner belt and today's metro line to the district belong ) and from July 1, 1905 applies.

The last two changes to the district boundaries took place in 1995 in the area of ​​Lerchenfelderstraße belt and 1996 in the area of ​​Europe square in front of the western railway station to facilitate the regional affiliation of the local transport facilities.

The development of the district comes mainly from between 1880 and 1910. At that time there were also many industrial enterprises, which were later abandoned or seed off.

With the flourishing of the Austrian silent film 1918-1923 developed the new street and adjoining streets to film district, where almost all companies in Vienna working in the film had their seat or at least a branch. Hardly a house where not at least one film distribution, film producer, film lawyer, a film bookstore, a café film or a film supplier had the right of establishment, the closer to the Mariahilferstraße, the more likely. Even film equipment companies and other specialists in the industry at that time were concentrated in the new lane.

Even after this period, the area was the film district, and only with the "port" to Germany and the subsequent strong change in the previously predominantly Jewish dominated movie industry is likely to have put an end to the history of film district.

Today, located in the new street and adjacent streets as Mariahilferstraße and Siebensterngasse only a few branches of working in the film industry companies. In addition, the industry as a whole is much more focused on a few dominant firms, while divided up before 1938 Dozens film distributors and producers of the market between themselves.

1943/1944 several flak towers were built in Vienna air defense, among others, of the flak tower in the pin barracks. The tower, which is good to see from the old town behind the museum district, is in the custody of the Armed Forces. As a historical monument it is a listed building.

With the 2001 opening of the Museum Quarter, the district received a known beyond Austria cultural attraction with a strong public frequency. The MQ is one of the ten largest cultural complexes in Europe. The establishment of the MQ in the former imperial stables, which were later used as the Vienna Exhibition Palace and had neglected more and more in their buildings, was a joint effort of the Federal Government and the City Administration.
