So Obersievering located on the upper reaches of the creek between Schenkenberg and Hackenberg, which also hosts the Sieveringer cemetery, Untersievering on the lower reaches of the south Meisel mountain. Originally was between the two Sieverings also the deserted village Mitterhofen which is the oldest part of the town. However, the group of houses around the original chapel went on in the two places. Located on the southwestern slope of the mountain Hack Wüstung Chlaintzing probably only existed until the 14th century. Water shortage is likely to have brought the inhabitants to the Neustift am Walde. Originally manorial Meier farms were present in both districts, the vine-growers settled as subjects of the landlords. Probably in the 12th century to the Meier farms villages. In 1330 Upper and Under Sufferingen is first shown separately ( deed of endowment Sieveringer church). Which of the two previously created is unclear. The Sieveringer church was situated on the boundary line between the two places. As the villages grew over the centuries, both rows of houses grew together into an elongated street village.

History

Origin of the name

Sievering was first documented in 1114 as Sufringen. Later the name was finally over Suueringan and Sivring to Sievering. The place name is a real - ing names, ie means for the people who belong to a man by the name Suver ( o) / Sufr. However, the name then on the St. Severin ( Severin of Noricum, † 482 ) was purchased well in the Middle Ages, is said to have evangelized the early Middle Ages in the area. The coat of arms depicts the saints and the Sieveringer parish church is dedicated to him.

Sievering to modern times

In Sievering was in Roman times a large quarry whose stones were used for the military camp Vindobona. Certainly there was also a larger working class neighborhood. 1897 also Mithraeum was exposed in the Sieveringer road 132, which had been erected by the 10th Roman Legion. Today is the altar at the Historical Museum of the City of Vienna. The people in the Middle Ages were, in turn, farmers who produce mainly for their own consumption. For the sale of wine was grown. 1134 gave Leopold III. the location of the Stift Klosterneuburg. In the 14th century, the separation of the town took place after the running of the Arbesbaches. 1330 this is the first time recorded in documents. In the 15th century the estate passed back to the Prince. After changing owners, the two places were ultimately to the Court Chamber of Vienna. Already 1330 has a chapel, which was dedicated to St. Andrew. To Sieveringer parish church, the building was raised already in 1348. First pastor was Jacob de Medlaer from the diocesan level. It was not until 1510 took over the Klosterneuburg Abbey parish.

Sievering to the 19th century

Sievering suffered similar to the surrounding places hard hit by the wars against the Turks, which inhibited the development. 1634 changed the two places again the owner. Obersievering came to the Camaldolese from Kahlenberg, Untersievering to the pin gaming. As in 1713, the plague came to Vienna, Sievering suffered particularly badly from the disease. In Upper Sievering 30 of 33 homes were contaminated, in sub - Sievering 32 of 34 total, 267 people died of the plague in Sievering. As a result, the two places developed to different degrees. Because of the poor transport links and the cooler, wet weather to Obersievering developed much worse than Untersievering. 1767 Obersievering had nevertheless still consisted of 41 houses and 26 Hofstätten, Untersievering could only have 5 Hofstätten. Nevertheless Untersievering had in 1819 already overtaken the higher-lying place. Untersievering accommodated in 56 houses 467 residents in Obersievering lived in 52 houses 377 people. After 1789 built private "in the sky " water pipes and ponds, planted fruit trees, operated sheep farming and built a park and a dairy. 1832 finally united the timber merchant Josef Müller the two places back in one hand and sold them later at Anton Edler von Wirth, who in 1824 bought also Oberdöbling.

As was the place in 1892 together with Unterdöbling, Oberdöbling, Heiligenstadt, Nussdorf, Grinzing, Josef village and the Kahlenbergerdorf incorporated to Vienna, Obersievering had 626 inhabitants, Untersievering 1,996 inhabitants. Obersievering here was composed of 78 Untersievering from 214 houses. In 1900 was the obstruction of the lower Sieveringer road with large apartment buildings. 1902 now set tram line was built 39 after Sievering. Gradually began the construction in its surrounding hills. Nevertheless, the two old town centers of the lower and Obersievering are still clearly visible.

Economy

Both parts of Sievering had the early 19th century large areas planted with vines. In some smaller Untersievering half of the total floor area of ​​vineyards was covered, one-third accounted for arable land. In Obersievering there were at least 28 percent of vineyards, followed by 20 percent forest and each about 15 percent meadows and fields. Of significance was the Sieveringer quarry which existed since Roman times and the Vienna Magistrate belonged. He delivered until 1921 paving and grinding stones. Other than the obvious Grinzing or Neustift am Walde Sievering long time was hardly appreciated as a summer resort. In addition, the grapes in the cooler stream valley developed more slowly than on the surrounding hills. Until well into the 19th century Sievering was also poorly connected by roads with the environment. Gradually, however, settled here in 1837 and joined traders from you Sievering the first time by a stagecoach line with Vienna. 1875 also began the obstruction Untersieverings, the gradual vaulting of the Arbesbaches protected from flooding. An important operation was founded in 1897 by the master carpenter Wenzl Hartl steam sawmill in the Sieveringer street 2 Together the builder of commercial operation grew rapidly, but was moved to Lower Austria in 1948. On the plot originated townhouses and the Franz Josef Hotel. However, the auto factory was founded in the Weinberggasse 1904 Graf & Stift, which produced cars, trucks and buses to most operating Sieverings. After the stages, moving production to the factory Liesing the property was built with houses.
