About Ottakring
What are the main landmarks in Ottakring?
Ottakring keeps its landmarks in its churches and its local museum. Faith shaped the skyline first. The Neulerchenfelder Pfarrkirche rises over the old core of Neulerchenfeld, the Church of the Holy Ghost holds down another corner of the district, and the Bezirksmuseum Ottakring gathers the local story under a single roof.
What is the history of Ottakring?
Ottakring grew out of older village ground as Vienna expanded, absorbing the settlement of Neulerchenfeld along the way. Village became district. The upheavals of 1848 left their own mark here, remembered in the Denkmal für die Märzgefallenen.
Rows of apartment houses later spread across the open fields, and the Neulerchenfelder Pfarrkirche stayed on as the old parish's clearest marker.
Where is Ottakring?
Ottakring spreads across a built-up stretch of Vienna, running out from Neulerchenfeld past the Neulerchenfelder Pfarrkirche and the Bezirksmuseum Ottakring.
