PROUD TO BE FROM HERNALS 1170 HERNALS T HE SEVENTEENTH DISTRICT is currently experiencing a major upswing due to the construction of the U5 metro line to travel from Karlsplatz to Elterleinplatz from 2025 onwards. This improvement will see an upsurge in prices as well as increased con- struction activity on the few remaining sites available for development.
LIKE OTTAKRING, HERNALS IS A VERY MIXED DISTRICT with a gradient between the urban Beltway area and the calm country atmosphere around the Wienerwald hills. Long-established locations such as Neuwaldegg and Heuberg are recognised hotspots of the dis- trict. ×

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DISTRICT A unique cultural scene dominates Hernals – the “Seventeenth” doesn’t have the museums and theatres of the other districts, but it still has a cheerful mixture of attractions such as urban cabarets, artists' studios, gal- leries, and suburban wine taverns. Andreas Schindlauer, who was born at Mariengasse 7 in 1892, was known for his Viennese song compositions including “Du mein liebstes Hernals” in tribute to the district. Hernals is mainly home to the Escapists Sinus-Milieu ® ,
which especially appreciates the mix of cultures and lifestyles. Attractively priced housing and proximity to the alternative pub scene in the neigh- bourhood and nearby Beltway appeal to this group. Even so, Hernals can be described as a typical suburb with its peaceful residential atmosphere found mainly in the northwest close to the Wiener- wald hills, which take up a considerable proportion of the green areas that account for more than half of the district.
