History
The railway station was opened in June 1841 as a part of the railroad from Vienna to Gloggnitz in Lower Austria. The first steam locomotive using the new railroad was built by the Norris Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1837 and brought to Vienna. The locomotive was named Philadelphia and a bridge across the railroad between the railway stations Wien Meidling and Wien Hetzendorf is called Philadelphiabrücke up to now in commemoration of the early days of that railroad. It was completed as the Southern Railway in Austria until 1857 to reach the harbour of Trieste, then part of the Austrian Empire.
The railway station gained importance when the later Emperor Charles I of Austria lived close to the station in Schloss Hetzendorf. The station was also the best connection from Schönbrunn Palace to the south.
