Lucullus concludes: Last chance of enjoyment in front of the construction site!

Lucullus concludes: Last chance of enjoyment in front of the construction site!

The popular Lucullus restaurant in the country road will open its garden for the last time on August 30th. Carmen Pachschwöll, the owner, is forced to close the restaurant indefinitely due to the upcoming infrastructure measures of the ÖBB. The background to this decision is the planned regular route renewal between Rennweg and Vienna Mitte, which is accompanied by extensive construction work. These construction work includes deep drilling, which should begin in December at the latest. "This leads to noise, dirt and limited access," explains Pachschwöll. In order to cover the monthly fixed costs and to save your team unreasonable working conditions, she has no choice but to temporarily close the restaurant.

The final party of the Lucullus on August 30 will take place from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. and offers a colorful program with food and beverage stands, wine sales and live music. Uncomplicated access is sought; Reservations are not possible. The restaurant has opened regularly until August 29, so that the regular guests can still enjoy the last few days in the usual atmosphere. A year ago, Pachschwöll received the sad message that a garden in the ÖBB area will no longer be possible, which gave the final rash for the closure.

construction projects in the east and their effects

The construction measures of the ÖBB are part of a larger project by Deutsche Bahn (DB), which also includes the renewal of S-Bahn border routes in the east. According to the DB, a second S-Bahn master route will be rebuilt on around ten kilometers between Laim and Leuchtenbergring, which will also lead under the Isar. Construction is planned for the summer of 2025, with over 500 people being employed in the east section at peak times in order to complete the work in good time. The extensive construction monitoring takes over an engineering community with various specialized companies. One goal of these projects is to make the S-Bahn system in Munich more powerful and attractive to meet the challenges of urban mobility.

The increasing need for better transport infrastructure is also an answer to the challenges that a traffic turning brings with it. The discussion about mobility in urban areas is in full corridors. This includes reducing climate -damaging emissions and ensuring that urban spaces remain worth living even under extreme weather conditions. Concepts and measures such as car and bikes sharing as well as the expansion of cycling are just a few approaches that help find solutions.

Need for a comprehensive transformation

The mobility turnaround affects not only Vienna, but also other cities that are increasingly faced with an overload of their infrastructures and the resulting problems. A central component of this transformation is the integration of environmentally friendly modes of transport and avoiding unnecessary traffic. The expansion of local public transport and more modern solutions in city traffic are also necessary to make mobility sustainable in both urban and rural areas.

With the closure of the Lucullus, the challenge of making urban mobility future -proof becomes once again tangible. The owner Carmen Pachschwöll is aware of this: "We have to prepare for the changes and at the same time thank all of our guests for the great time we had." The Lucullus will not only be missing for culinary enjoyment, but also for the community that has come together over the years.
