Salmannsdorf

Over time, it developed into a village typical of the area, with several streets and an economy and lifestyle that revolved around viticulture.

Salmannsdorf first began to grow around the middle of the 19th century, when, like its neighbour Neustift am Walde, it profited from tourists attracted by its fine summer weather.

A plaque at number 13 in the Dreimarksteingasse celebrates the fact that Johann Strauß the Elder wrote his first waltz here.

The distribution of available land at the start of the 19th century makes clear the importance of both forests and vineyards for the local economy.

Originally, there was a wagon train that passed through Neustift to Salmannsdorf, with varying destinations in the city over the years.

For financial reasons, the operation of this transport link also changed hands several times, even though it was the only such connection to receive subventions from the City of Vienna.

In 1908, the Wiener Linien introduced a trolleybus operating the Mercédès-Électrique-Stoll system from Pötzleinsdorf via Neustift am Walde to Salmannsdorf.

This bus runs from the Spittelau station along the Krottenbachstraße via Neustift am Walde to its final destination in Salmannsdorf.
