9. District
Alsergrund
The long, wide streets in Alsergrund, the 9th district of Vienna, are lined with elegant old-style buildings. In one of them, Berggasse 19 lays the former residence of Sigmund Freud, which now hosts the Freud Museum.
The area is densely populated, with a lot of government-built housing. The iconic Alte AKH, a 17th-century hospital complex, accommodates now several departments of the University of Vienna as well as lively beer gardens in its tree-lined courtyards. In the 9th district, also called French Quarter, you will find the Lycée Français de Vienne near Liechtensteinpark.
The area is densely populated, with a lot of government-built housing. The iconic Alsergrund is associated with many notable names of Viennese art and science. It is the birthplace of Romantic composer Franz Schubert. Classic music composer Ludwig van Beethoven died here in his apartment at Schwarzspanierstraße 15. In addition, the park in front of the Votivkirche, on the corner of Währingerstrasse and Schottenring, was named after Freud, in memory of his frequent visits there. |
