ÖVP-Zweifel at Naschmarkthalle: Building plans for autumn 2025 in danger?

Naschmarkt, Wien, Österreich - The Vienna Naschmarkt is again at the center of attention. There are currently some ambiguities regarding the redesign of the area that causes confusion. The ÖVP, represented by the former district councilor Maria Blazej, has made an inquiry for future use and progress in the construction work. As meinzirk.at reports the ÖVP skeptica and positions Questions about tenants and the planned mix of industries.

The district head Mariahilf tries to smooth the waves and emphasizes that no Naschmarkt is being built here in the classic sense. District head Markus Rumelhart from the SPÖ speaks of an innovative show kitchen and a green roof garden, while the ÖVP is concerned with compliance with the schedule for completion by autumn 2025. Gerhard Hammerer (ÖVP) criticizes the city government and sees compliance with the deadlines as problematic, while the city of Vienna assures that everything goes according to plan. Nevertheless, the question remains whether the appointment can actually be kept.

redesign of the Naschmarkt - a look behind the scenes

The comprehensive redesign of the Naschmarks, which started in October 2024 with the first construction phase, aims to transform a large part of the parking lot west of the Kettenbrückengasse into the "Naschpark". According to naschmarkt-wien.at , about 58 % of the area are converted into a green area that will offer space for 90 new trees, perennials and grasses. The aim is to create a residence -free location that promises a high quality of stay. The trees must be carefully planned due to the static challenges of the over 100 year old Vienna flow.

While the completion of the Nacher Park is also being aimed for in autumn 2025, the conversion of another parking space part will already be converted into a multifunctional area in 2026 that is intended to offer new uses. The "market room", which will be 24.5 meters wide and 30.2 meters long, is also being rebuilt to the east of the chain bridge. This open market hall is built in a modern steel-glass construction and also receives a green roof garden. The total costs for the redesign amount to over 27 million euros.
