FIRST VIENNA RESIDENTIAL MARKET REPORT | 2021

CULTURE AND LIFESTYLE 1060 MARIAHILF T HERE HAVE ONLY been a few new development projects in this densely built-up area after an intensive construction phase in re- cent years especially around Mollardgasse. Nonetheless, demand for housing is high, albeit with a definite slope towards the Westbahnhof rail-

way station and the Beltway. The district is gaining in attractiveness from the newly designed Mariahilfer Straße and planned metro extension linking Maria- hilf to the U2 metro line. Sought-after residential areas mainly include Gum- pendorfer Straße and the areas around Naschmarkt and Getreidemarkt. ×

SPECIAL FEATURES OF DISTRICT Mariahilf – urban diversity at its best. The district is best known for Ma- riahilfer Straße, Vienna’s largest and most famous shopping street. The Naschmarkt on the other side near the River Wien is also a well-known sight to see. Not only fresh foods from all over the world are traded at around a hundred and twenty market stalls on this area of 2.3 hectares; trendy bars and restaurants give ideal opportunities to take a break and watch the colourful market in front of the gorgeous Art Nouveau build- ings in Wienzeile. The High Achievers and Postmaterialists Sinus-Milieus ® alike appreciate this pleasant aspect of the area. The state-of-the-art traffic planning systems, places to meet, and bicycle and pedestrian precincts

also attract these groups. The Haus des Meeres, or “House of the Sea”, located in a former flak tower, is the most striking building in Mariahilf; this is also a popular destination for young and old. One of the few green spaces in the district (accounting for almost four percent), the popular Esterházypark is close by. Culturally, the Sixth District is best known for its two large theatre halls, Theater an der Wien and Raimund Theater. Ludwig van Beethoven lived in the former for a time, while the latter was named after the great Maria- hilf dramatist Ferdinand Raimund.
