Apartment Building Simmering

Simmering is in the south-east of the city on a terrace of the Danube on the main road to Hungary and includes the city areas of Simmering, Albern (that was designated as the 11th district in 1956) and Kaiserebersdorf.

Besides its reputation as a large garden village, Simmering mainly owes its prominence to the central cemetery that is made up of a Roman-Catholic, Evangelical, Jewish and Russian Orthodox area. At the centre is the domed church, a central structure in the secessionist style, as well as the tomb of the Federal President of the Second Republic.

Castle Neugebäude is on Kaisereversdorfer Straße. During the first Turkish siege, the stately grand tent of Sultan Süleyman supposedly stood there, and today the city crematorium is located at the same location. Between these two key dates, one of the most wonderful gardens of the Renaissance bloomed and faded here. The "old gallery" was removed during the construction of Schönbrunn Palace and used in the construction of the Gloriette and the magnificent stairway on the garden side.
