Clay deposits were discovered in what is now the Wienerberg area as early as Roman times and used to make bricks. In 1775, Maria Theresa had the first state brick factory built in this area, which in 1820 became the largest in Europe. The Wienerberger brick factory, which operates worldwide today, was also founded here in 1819. This means that the Viennese architecture of this period was very strongly characterized by brick buildings, recognizable by magnificent buildings such as the main customs office or the Vienna Arsenal, but workers' houses and social facilities were also built with bricks from the Wienerberg at that time. From 1870 onwards, brick production there was accompanied by a sharp increase in the exploitation of workers, including children. The many workers who immigrated from the crown lands were called Ziegelbehm (Ziegelbohm).

The two execution sites on the Wienerberg were in the area of the spinner on the cross.

From 1826 to around 1900, the adjustment points for the old university observatory, the meridian columns on the Wienerberg, stood on the crest of the Wienerberg in the area of today's Favoritner trade ring.

In the 1960s, clay quarrying became unprofitable and the brickworks were shut down. What remained was fallow land and the small lakes typical of the Wienerberg, which were left behind by the former clay pits, and the brick manufacturer Wienerberger, which had long been active elsewhere and emerged from the imperial brickworks. From then on, the area was owned by the City of Vienna and was used for rubble dumping.

At the end of the 1970s, an urban planning ideas competition was held. This was the prelude to the design of today's natural recreation area according to plans by the landscape architect Wilfried Kirchner. In 1995 it was declared a protected part of the landscape.

In 1999, construction began on the Wienerberg City, an arrangement of numerous residential and office towers around a newly designed lake (former clay pit) and park. The Vienna Twin Tower was the first of these buildings to be completed in 2001.

From here you have a wonderful view over Vienna. It is a fascinating sight, especially in the dark.

Great recreation area, with a beautiful view to the south - usable for almost all sporting activities - a lot has changed from before, we still trotted around in the Gstätten. Motocross was also ridden here at the time when the Triesterstrasse was still the worst southern entrance with tramway tracks and cobblestones.
