!!!Schanzel

Schanzel, former fortifications situated on the right bank of the 
Danube Canal in Vienna where the old Vienna harbour was located. 
Because the transport barges carrying fruit docked here, the Schanzel 
became the location of Vienna´s largest fruit market. In the 
second half of the 19%%sup th/%  century the north-western part of the 
quay, including the Danube canal line of the Stadtbahn transit line 
(now the U4 underground line), was built to replace the Schanzel.
