This map shows "the system at its maximum extent, in 1913". It comes from Appendix 1 of "Geschichte der Wiener Rohrpost" by Dr Hajek, who says it was taken from "Rohrpost Fernanlagen by Dr Ing Schwaighofer pub. 1916". However a careful comparison reveals that it has been amended in several areas, notably the numbering of offices 1 & 2, and the layout around the Zentrale. It also of course omits the offices opened after the book was written. |
The table below shows all the pneumatic offices. Columns give the official 1892-version Pneumatic Office number with the old number added in square brackets where applicable; the Vienna District number; the address & aliases; the "machine house" from which each station was provided with power; dates when the station was in service; and the Klein Catalogue reference.
Under "addresses & aliases" we have put in for each office number (a) the addresses listed in the 1892 PuTVOBlatt, prefixed 'P:'; twin addresses can arise when an office has the front door in one street and the back in another, (b) the addresses listed in the 1932 Dienstanweisung part 2 page 23, prefixed 'D:'. Prefix 'PD:' means both sources give the same address. Addresses are in italics.
One little-known complication in attempting to explain the markings on a pneumatic item is the effect of the expansion of the city of Vienna. In 1890, the boundaries of Vienna were enlarged to include as Bezirke X to XIX many of the previously-independent suburbs. It was then realised that many street names were duplicated, and a large number of changes were made in the following years to avoid confusion. The Fünfhaus office address is given at the bottom of the pneumatic cards of that time as "Schönbrunnerstrasse 42"; this street was renamed Außere Mariahilferstrasse! Many streets in the busy commercial district of Gaudenzdorf were likewise renamed; and some areas were reassigned from one Bezirk to another following the partial canalisation of the Wienerfluß. Addresses given as "Simmering, Hauptstrasse 82" are the pre-enlargement ones.
The columns of the table contain:

| The service was originally provided at office 89 in Penzing. At some date between 1918 and 1929 office 88 was closed and office 89 (and the pneumatic pipe) moved across the Wienerfluß and either temporarily into office 88's premises at Altgasse 13, Hietzing, or directly into its final location at Am Platz (Kaiserstockl) in Hietzing. Office 89 was there by 1956; until 1918 the building was the Official Summer Residence of the Foreign Minister! | |||||
