This walk starts in the 9th district of Vienna (Alsergrund) and I walk to the Spittelau Waste Incineration Plant. The 9th district, Alsergrund, is located in the northern center of Vienna. It is 2.99 km² in size, making it the seventh smallest district in Vienna. Neighboring districts are Döbling to the north, Währing and Hernals to the west, and Josefstadt and the inner city to the south. In the east, Alsergrund is separated from Brigittenau and Leopoldstadt by the Danube Canal. The Spittelau waste incineration plant is a piece of art that processes around 250,000 tonnes of household waste every year to produce green heating and electricity. The Spittelau waste incineration plant makes a key contribution to Vienna’s waste management system. Around 50 percent of the energy produced every year from waste incineration comes from biogenic or renewable sources. The environmentally-friendly heating produced at Spittelau is enough to heat more than 60,000 households in Vienna in a year. 50,000 households can be supplied with electricity every year. The Spittelau plant was built between 1969 and 1971; in 1987 a fire destroyed major sections of the waste incineration plant. Instead of tearing down the plant, it was rebuilt on the same site. One reason for this was that Spittelau already housed everything needed to produce district heating. Another reason was that the waste should continue to be incinerated exactly where it was being generated: in the middle of the city. The mayor of Vienna at that time, Helmut Zilk, wanted even more though: the new Spittelau should be especially clean and set new standards in protecting the environment. In addition, the new Spittelau should be a work of art. The environmentalist, nature lover and artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser was tasked with designing the new plant. The building was completed in 1992. Its colourful façade, the golden ball on the chimney, roof greenery and planted trees have made the new Spittelau unmistakable and a Viennese landmark on a par with St Stephen’s cathedral and the Riesenrad Ferris wheel.
