The U-Bahn stations in English
If you happen to be one of those English-speaking people in Vienna, either as a tourist or an expat, have you ever wondered what’s gonna be the English counterpart of the streetnames in Vienna?
Well, not only the streets but also the stations might seem to intrigue you.
Horst P, a Viennese veteran blogger, perhaps to satisfy everyone’s curiosity, brought out his English translation of the stations. If you are a German speaker then you’ll find the “map” hilarious or outrageous. Some Viennese call it their Tube, others the Metro. I simply call it the U-bahn, which is its real name by the way.
For example, Taubstummengasse, which means Deaf-mutes street, or Flowery Village that stands for Floridsdorf. Another one, how about Kagran for No Crane? Don’t ask me how did he translate everything.
