Oberdöbling was a municipality in its own right until 1892 and now forms part of Döbling, the 19th district of Vienna.
About Oberdöbling
Where to stay in Oberdöbling
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Döbling sets the terms here. A bed near the Wertheimsteinpark or the Döbling Parish Church puts the quieter streets of the 19th district at the door, and keeps Oberdöbling's memorials within an easy walk. Vienna's larger hotels lie elsewhere. The Eroicahaus and the Bezirksmuseum Döbling sit close enough that one base serves both, which suits a visit built around Beethoven rather than around the centre.
About Oberdöbling
What are the main landmarks in Oberdöbling?
Monuments crowd this ground. The Döbling Parish Church and the Unterheiligenstädter Pfarrkirche hold the older parish life of the area, while the Biederhof and the Gatterburg-Denkmal mark smaller pieces of the same past. Bezirksmuseum Döbling gathers the rest.
In the Wertheimsteinpark stand memorials to Franz Keim and Ferdinand von Saar, while the Eroicahaus is kept as a Beethoven memorial by the Wien Museum.
What is the history of Oberdöbling?
Independence ended in 1892. Until then Oberdöbling ran as a municipality in its own right, and the merger folded it into Döbling, which Vienna counts as its 19th district. Religious houses outlasted the change.
The Döbling Carmelite Nunnery and the Kloster der Schwestern vom armen Kinde Jesu remain on the ground, and Bezirksmuseum Döbling keeps the district's record.
Where is Oberdöbling?
Oberdöbling is one of the 89 Katastralgemeinden of Vienna, a stretch of Döbling gathered around the Wertheimsteinpark.
