Vienna in 1780
After the victory over the Turks at Vienna in 1683 set in a flurry of construction activity. In the course of those reconstructions and new constructions Vienna was largely remodelled in Baroque style. This is mainly associated with the name of the architects Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. Most of all in the suburbs much has been built, the nobility beginning to cover the whole surrounding countryside with its garden palaces, the more so as after the subsequent and lasting victories of Prince Eugene one could be pretty sure that for those new buildings from the side of the Turks no longer any threat of danger had to be feared. Best known are the Palais Liechtenstein, the Palais Schönborn and the Palais Schwarzenberg, and especially the Belvedere Palace, the summer palace of Prince Eugene. 1704 got the suburbs their own, spaciously laid out fortification complex, the Linienwall (outer line of fortification).
After the last great plague epidemics in 1679 and 1713 the population grew constantly. For 1724 one estimates 150,000 inhabitants, in 1790 there were already 200,000. At this time, the first factories were established, the first in the Leopoldstadt (now 2nd district), which developed at the site of the around 1620 established Jewish ghetto, from which the Jews were driven out in 1670, however, again. The problem of hygiene too was slowy perceived, so developed sewer system and street cleaning. Also the introduction of the first house numbers (of conscription numbers) fell in this period, as well as the beginnings of a national postal system.
Under Emperor Joseph II, the city government in 1783 has been modernized: own officials for the city were introduced (the magistrate). At the same time, also the inner-city cemeteries were dissolved.
