25T79 VGH Michelbeuern: around Vienna General Hospital

E78, V26.

Where the 9th district meets the “inner belt”, the present-day location of Vienna’s Allgemeines Krankenhaus (General Hospital, VGH) with its two dark brown 22-floor towers has been a city fixture since the 1970s. VGH has almost 9-thousand on staff and, as teaching facility, an additional 8-thousand students at the Medizinische Universität Wien (Medical University of Vienna). After moving locations, the first site of VGH became the primary campus for the Universität Wien (University of Vienna).

Since 1987, VGH has its own metro/subway station “Michelbeuern – Allgemeines Krankenhaus” on the U6 U-Bahn line. The new U5 line in extending west to Hernals on the “outer belt” will include a brand new station at VGH.

To the north are “Revisionhallen” or halls for regular inspections. The working U6 tracks are at far-left, as a southbound U6 train approaches the station.
To the south is the U-Bahn Betriebsbahnhof Michelbeuern (service depot and facility at Michelbeuern).

24T50 Vienna Hütteldorf station

E49 V16

I’m passing through the station, because I’m looking for the location where a well-known Viennese writer, Doderer, was born. After multiple stops here over multiple years, I know this station well; perhaps, the station knows me well, too.

“Diese Station wird videoüberwacht.” (This station is under video surveillance.)

Hütteldorf is not only the terminus station for the green U4 line, but also a major transfer point to S-Bahn and regional trains.
