A walk along the beautiful Linke Wienzeile blvd. | Vienna in 4K

Описание: Linke Wienzeile where I’ll take you today, is one of the big boulevards in Vienna.

In the urban area of the city, the Vienna River runs almost entirely in a deep concrete bed built in 1895 – 1899. The architectural designer Otto Wagner advocated seizing the opportunity and arching the river from Karlsplatz to Schönbrunn Palace, the Emperor's summer residence in the 13th district, and building a large boulevard – Wienzeile; however, the concavity was only realized over 2.1 km in the central city area.

As a result, a Wienzeile was not created, as Wagner had hoped, but two streets with this name were laid out around 1900: on both sides of the largely open-flowing Wien River. Basically, they are one entire boulevard separated on two sides – the left (Linke Wienzeile) and the right (Rechte Wienzeile    • A Walk Along Rechte Wienzeile blvd. – One ...   ) by the river and the Naschmarkt, the most famous food market in the city I presented you in the previous video    • Naschmarkt Experience: Food, Fun, History ...   Both of them – Rechte Wienzeile and Linke Wienzeile ends in the Vienna center on Karlsplatz and the renown Secession.    • The Famous Secession Building | Vienna in 4K  

Linke Wienzeile was officially named in 1899. However, Linke Wienzeile was only developed into a thoroughfare decades later. Around 1960, traffic was still going west through Mariahilfer Strasse and Linzer Strasse because the houses on Linke Wienzeile were partly too close to the river, especially between Pilgramgasse and Reinprechtsdorfer Brücke, and neither was the outer Hadikgasse in the 14th district was expanded. (Before the regulation of the river Wien, frequent flooding was the main reason why main roads were not routed near the river.) Twenty years later, the Linke Wienzeile functioned as a main road.
