Vienna-Heiligenstadt: Lügner City” – The sustainable shopping center is coming!

David Kreytenberg has come up with an ambitious plan for his latest project: “Lügner City” is to be built in the former Quester branch in Vienna-Heiligenstadt – a shopping center that is all about sustainability. It is scheduled to open in March 2026 and the vision behind the project is to sell handmade, used and repaired products. The concern to promote ecological awareness runs like a common thread through the entire concept. How BUTTERFLY reports, Kreytenberg is currently looking for interested tenants who would like to rent in Lügner City. The range of possible offers ranges from hairdressing salons and bicycle repairs to exhibitions and workshops.

Sustainability and creativity

The Lügner City should become a place for encounters and creative work. In addition to retail space, a community workshop and a large industrial kitchen are also planned. The concept aims to invite craftsmen and artists to actively participate, which Kreytenberg has already successfully implemented with his “Wild im West” initiative. This idea of ​​offering creatives a platform is particularly important in an urban environment like Vienna. Ultimately, it's about acting in harmony with nature and urban needs.

How Vienna.at Highlights, the shopping center will be designed for a period of three years, giving the project a certain amount of time for growth and development. After this period has expired, an analysis is carried out to determine how the property can be used in the future. So something is not only happening in Vienna-Heiligenstadt; The entire cityscape continues to develop and adapts to the needs of the residents.

Vienna in transition

The draft of change is blowing through the city, and in Kreytenberg this change is tangible. “Wild im West” will move into a new location on Muthgasse in the future, as the current space on Karl-Farkas-Gasse has to make way for the construction of the new Wien-Holding-Arena. So the popular flea market institution remains part of the Viennese scene and will hopefully be just as popular in its new use.

The City of Vienna actively supports such projects by offering empty buildings and spaces for creative and cultural purposes. Like on the official city website wien.gv.at can be read, unused rooms offer valuable space for new ideas. Kreytenberg's initiative shows how important it is to take advantage of such opportunities and fill vacant spaces with life.

The idea of ​​Lügner City could not only offer an exciting shopping experience, but also become a core part of sustainable urban development in Vienna.
