The city of Vienna is today divided into 23 districts, Vienna Districts. However, this was not always the case. Because up until the middle of the 19th century, the urban area of Vienna consisted only of today’s 1st district, the inner city. To secure the city, this urban area of the inner city was also surrounded by city walls. These served to fortify and protect the city. We have listed the current city map of Vienna for the districts in this article.

The borders at that time were changed during the time of Emperor Franz Joseph and the overall urban picture was renewed. The ring road with many historic buildings and the tram were built along the free space. The area of Viennese districts 1 to 9 and 20 still forms the core of urban life today. Because of their geographical location within the belt, these districts are also referred to as inner districts.
Outside the original core area there used to be hunting lodges and stately homes or small communities which have “merged” over time. Due to the preservation of many parks and green areas, there are still green islands and recreation areas within the city today. The outermost districts of Vienna are no longer so heavily populated, these already consist of large areas for wine cultivation and forest areas.
