Laimgrube one of the oldest districts in Vienna, Austria.

The name Laimgrube can be traced back to the clay pits that existed on the slopes of the Wiental, in Bavarian these pits were called Lamgrueben.

The village of Laimgrube already existed in the 11th century and was first mentioned in a document in 1291. The centre of the settlement, the so-called Obere Laimgrube, was located in today's intersection of Windmühlgasse and Mariahilfer Straße. The lower Laimgrube formed the slope to the Wien River, and the names Im Saugraben and An der Wien were also used for this area.

In the area of the riverbank, clay was quarried for brick production, there were also some mills here, which are still reminiscent of street names along this section of the Vienna River. Orchards and vineyards stretched between the Upper and Lower Laimgrube, and wine from this area was very popular at the time.

In the 14th century, Duke Albrecht II built in honour of Saint Theobald and Saint Catherine. They also founded a hospital, which was converted into a Clarissa convent in 1354. Both the chapel and the monastery were in 1451 by the later Emperor Friedrich III. Around 1500 there were several brothels in the later Kothgasse which is now the most central part of Gumpendorfer Straße.

In the 1560s, a windmill and several rental houses were built on the site of a destroyed monastery. In the 17th century a new chapel and later also a monastery were built, but both structures were destroyed again during a Turkish siege in 1683. In the 1690s, the monastery was built up again that this established church was the patron of the archduke and later Emperor Joseph I consecrated.

In 1801 Emanuel Schikaneder opened the Theater an der Wien on the Wien River, where several of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies were premiered. Beethoven lived in the back of the theatre in 1803/04. In 1832 Franz Xavier Ritter von Sickingen called the theatre the largest and most beautiful theatre in the royal seat.
