Nordbahnviertel, Urban development district in Vienna, Austria

Nordbahnviertel is an 85-hectare urban development district in Vienna's 2nd district, Leopoldstadt, built on the site of the former Nordbahnhof freight station. Its street grid is defined by Bruno-Marek-Allee, a central boulevard running through the quarter, and by the 31,000-square-metre Rudolf-Bednar-Park, opened in 2008 near Vorgartenstraße. The area is bounded by Innstraße to the north, Vorgartenstraße to the east and Lassallestraße to the south.

Construction of the first Vienna Nordbahnhof began on 7 April 1837 on the bank of the Kaiserwasser, starting point of the Kaiser-Ferdinands-Nordbahn. Coal and goods from Moravia, Silesia and Galicia made the freight yard grow until World War I. After 1918 the line was cut and nationalised, and passenger traffic was abandoned during the Iron Curtain era. A 1978 study by the city planning department (MA 18) launched the conversion into a district, with building starting in 1999.

The neighborhood takes its name from the former railway station and draws residents from many different backgrounds who share these new streets. Public squares and gathering spaces throughout the area encourage people to meet and build community ties.

The neighborhood is easy to explore on foot, and public spaces are open and accessible to visitors. A large natural park runs through the area, providing green spaces for walking and sitting within the urbanized district.

The name Nordbahnviertel was used for decades for the older neighbourhood west of Nordbahnstraße, between Heinestraße and Taborstraße; only since about 2010 has it referred to the former freight station site. The 31,000-square-metre Rudolf-Bednar-Park, opened in 2008, is named after the district chairman who held office from 1977 to 1984.
