Reumannplatz

Reumannplatz is a public square and the surrounding district area in Vienna, Austria. It lies in the 10th district, Favoriten, on the southern side of the city center. The square is named after Jakob Reumann, a leading social-democratic politician who served as mayor of Vienna in the early 20th century.

The square has long served as a local commercial and transit hub. Buildings around it reflect Vienna’s late-19th and early-20th century urban expansion, including typical workers’ housing blocks erected during the period of rapid growth. In the postwar era, the area saw reconstruction and modernization of housing blocks, public spaces, and street networks.

Reumannplatz is an important public transport node. It is served by Vienna’s rapid transit network via the U-Bahn (U1 line) and by multiple tram and bus lines, providing access across Favoriten and to other districts.

Nearby points of interest include the Viktor-Adler-Markt, a neighborhood market that serves residents and vendors, as well as churches, schools, and small businesses that anchor daily life in the area. The surrounding district is known for its diverse population and residential character.

In recent decades, urban development programs have aimed to improve mobility, housing, and public spaces around Reumannplatz, balancing preservation of historic architecture with modern amenities.
