Khleslplatz in danger: New plans cause unrest in the Grätzl

in Altmannsdorf, a quiet and tranquil part of Vienna, there is currently excitement around the future of the Khleslplatz. A new preliminary draft to dedicate the area ensures concern among residents and local politicians. The place known as a former church square and its surroundings were already shown in 1973 as a monument preservation zone. This happened to preserve the historical ensemble, which is of great importance for the identity of the district.

District politician Franz Schodl, member of the "Pro Hetzendorf" initiative, expressed his concerns about the new plans. He reported that when checking the preliminary design, some points are alarming, in particular the opportunity to build higher buildings than previously allowed. Accordingly, buildings up to 17 meters could be created in the protection zone, which could endanger the historical appearance of the square.

The concern for the character of the square

Schodl expresses his fear that the redesign of the square could seriously affect the harmonious and protected architecture of the last historical triangle long of Vienna. He called for maintaining the current building regulations to protect the unique historical ensemble and maintain the visual axes. The concern that residential buildings could be built in this special area is understandable, especially when it comes to maintaining local identity.

The district chief Wilfried Zankl (SPÖ) has pointed out that there is currently no public draft to dedicate the area and calmed down the residents that the protection zone serves to protect the characteristic cityscape. Changes are possible, but should be implemented carefully.
