the hit among the Viennese, establishing a
family trade that lasted a century.
Yet it was also this enviable proximity to
Europe’s largest amusement park and recre-
ation area that first attracted the infamous
streetwalkers and their dubious clientele.
Now, however, with the arrival of the WU
and some coordinated neighborhood re-
newal efforts – supported by the outlawing of
street prostitution in 2011 – Stuwerviertel is
turning over a new leaf. Students and young
families are moving in, attracted to the
roomy, inexpensive apartments along leafy
streets, in easy walking distance of the park.
Here and there, a few “studios” and “clubs”
are still sprinkled along backstreets, as a re-
minder of the not so distant past.
Nevertheless, the Stuwerviertel has
preserved a special charm – an eclectic mix
of handsome architecture and traditional
Gasthäuser, Beisln and abandoned shops
that seem in no hurry to change. And those
that have set up shop here have only made
the place more interesting. People like the
Messerkönig, the self-proclaimed “knife
kings,” who not only sharpen your dull
edges but also manufacture their own
blades and offer courses on how it’s done.
Just across the street is the Vorgarten-
markt, a cozy open-air market that is begin-
ning to accommodate its newer clientele
with organic food stores, fine wine and beer
purveyors and an artisanal bakery.
The newest addition, Mochi Ramen Bar,
serves Japan’s favorite noodle soup in a
flash, alongside fresh gyoza dumplings.
Further south, the circular Ilgplatz anchors
several neighborhood fixtures like the Cir-
cus and Clown Museum, announced incarnival colors at No. 7. An institution since
the late 1920s, it delves into the history of
performing arts, the traditions of public
revelry and Viennese cabaret. Just across is
the Neat Corner Shop – a fresh concept
store selling accessories made by young
Austrian and international designers.CHANGE AT A SLOW PACE
Not far away, Le Cèdre, long a favorite in
diplomatic circles, offers Lebanese special-
ties to passersby from the WU and Messe
Wien convention center, and it is a quiet
place to enjoy a shisha with friends.
Further toward Praterstern, fishermen can
find all they need at Anglertreff, a one-stop
shop for lures, hooks, bait and everything
else needed to catch the big one.
