Michelbeuern

In 1704, the construction of the Linienwall (the city fortifications that preceded today's Gürtel ringroad), the current area of Michelbeuren was separated from the Währing and was integrated into Alservorstadt.

During ecclesial reforms under Joseph II., the monastic possessions were ceded to the city of Vienna for 10,000 guilders.

The Brünnlbad baths and Brünnlmühle mill were located at the Als river (today's Lazarettgasse).

The north housed a Vienna toll office (Verzehrungssteuer-Linienamt) while the center served mainly for brick production.

In 1848-1853, the elevated area of Michelbeuern saw the construction of the psychiatric institution Niederösterreichische Landesirrenanstalt by architect Ferdinand Fellner.
