About Hietzing
What are the main landmarks in Hietzing?
Hietzing holds the grounds of Schönbrunn at its edge. Within the palace park sit the Imperial Carriage Museum and the Kindermuseum Schönbrunn, while the Hofpavillon Hietzing preserves an ornate imperial station pavilion at the district's rim. The Hietzinger Pfarrkirche marks the old village core.
Not far off, the Klimt-Villa and the Gustav-Klimt-Denkmal recall the painter's years in the district, and the Bezirksmuseum Hietzing gathers its local story.
What is the history of Hietzing?
Hietzing grew up as a village at the gates of Schönbrunn. The imperial summer palace drew court and gentry, and villas rose along its edges as the settlement was drawn into Vienna. Its parish is old.
The Hietzinger Pfarrkirche has watched over the core for centuries, and later the painter Gustav Klimt kept a studio here, remembered at the Klimt-Villa and the Gustav-Klimt-Denkmal.
