    The first Viennese water pipeline route was built between 1870 and 1873. It crosses the 23rd district between Ketzergasse and Breitenfurter Strasse and ends in the Rosenhügel water reservoir (near the intersection of Atzgersdorfer Strasse and Rosenhügelstrasse). The round arches of the Liesing aqueducts are supported by 43 supporting pillars.

    The term aqueduct was originally used to refer to the entire aqueduct. However, he then naturalized himself for bridges that were built according to the ancient Roman model. These solve the problem of overcoming valleys that run across the direction of the pipeline. From the point of view of statics, one speaks of vault structures that are composed of a number of arched fields depending on the width of the valley. The aim was always to have semicircular vaults arranged on central pillars. Flat single-span arches are found in ravine-like valleys, while two-span bridges are found in flat river valleys.
