History of the suburb Country road
The suburban Landstraße is, with regard to surface, of the three former suburbs the greatest one. It gave its name to the later third district. The suburban Landstraße has developed from that settlement which was formed around the convent of Saint Nicholas previously located here before the Stubentor. In the area of today's Rochus church where the climb to the terrace of the Vienna valley is overcome developed the old core of the later district. The suburb was originally called, by 1200, "Niklas suburb", about a century later Country road.
Traffic routes
The two already in ancient times used traffic routes are the Landstraße and the Rennweg. Because of their importance, surely they contributed to the decision to establish here a settlement. The at the foot of the Arsenal terrace situated part was called Rennweg, the other, lain deeper, maintained the name Landstraße. Both parts were connected by the later Hungarian alley (Ungargasse). Its name derived from the fact that already in the early days many, mainly coming from Hungary merchants quartered here. The existence of this alley Hungargasse, as it was called earlier, the Landstraße owed much in terms of its development into a major suburb. Much like the later main street of the suburb also the second most important stretch of road of the Landstraße, the Rennweg, goes back to the Roman Limes Route. In the early days there only a kind of mule track may have passed through the shoreland.
Infrastructure
From the 14th century onwards, along the Rennweg (Racing lane) vineyards are provable. In the first half of the 16th century at Rennweg existed a shooting range at which the citizens could practice in the use of weapons. The name of this traffic route is derived from a horse race that from 1382-1534 here usually was held twice a year: the so-called "Scharlachrennen (Scarlet race)".
The Citizen's Hospital of St. Marx was one of the oldest institutions of the district Country road. 1394, it emerged from a former hospice for lepers. It was located far outside the city, also because of the then legitimate fear of contagious diseases. In the 16th century the hospital by generous foundations got to goods such as vineyards, fields and gardens, whose income was used for the maintenance of the hospital. As 1784 the (now old) General Hospital was opened and took over the patient care, the Citizen's Hospital for several decades still served as a retirement home. Finally, Adolf Mautner adapted it to a brewery. This one soon evolved into one of the largest breweries in Austria. As part of the centralization of beer production in Schwechat, St. Marx brewery was closed. The remains of the Citizen's Hospital were damaged during World War II and replaced after the war by new buildings.
Economic Development
From the middle of the 13th century for the suburban Landstraße began a 170-year period of peace. This important fact is often overlooked due to a lack of historic incisions. Not until the end of the Middle Ages Vienna found itself exposed to several sieges. The heavily affected suburbs needed decades to recover.
Only after the last Turkish siege, as no further threat coming from the east had to be expected, in the suburb Country road a very dynamic development set in, so also in the commercial sector. In addition to grocery stores emerged a sugar refinery, clothing stores, tailors, leather goods producers and glassware stores. Also manufactories and factories were founded in the 18th and 19th centuries: a chemical factory, textile factories, mirror factories, book printings. Particularly noteworthy is the piano factory of Johann Andreas Streicher. The stemming from Stuttgart Streicher his manufacturing facility in the first half of the 19th century soon developed to the center of piano manufacturing. In the concert hall in his house at Ungargasse 46 many prominent artists were guests; the "Streicher Hall" was the site of many concerts.
Decisive changes in the overall structure of the Landstraße brought the incorporation of the three suburban communities in 1850 which had been aggregated to the third district of Vienna. The quiet suburb was transformed into a modern district.
