From medieval seat of the nobility to urban sales area: welcome to the first district

In the late Middle Ages, the district now known as the Inner City became the commercial centre alongside the seat of the provincial prince. Even today, the contrasting influences can be recognised in the cityscape, which presents a multitude of luxury businesses and magnificent architectural buildings as well as an urban infrastructure from which buyers of exclusive flats often benefit. Until the incorporation of Vienna's suburbs in 1850, the history of the city of Vienna was also the history of the first district, which remains the political, economic and cultural centre of the Austrian capital to this day. Our expert estate agents will tell you why a property transaction is also worthwhile.

The fantastic infrastructure of Leopoldstadt favours owners in property sales

Named after Emperor Leopold I, Vienna's second district was formed in 1850 from the former suburbs of Jägerzeile, Brigittenau, Zwischenbrücken, Leopoldstadt and Kaisermühlen. Originally comprising the island formed by the Danube and the Danube Canal, the district was divided when today's S-Bahn line was built. Today, the so-called ‘Praterstern’, Vienna's most important transport hub, marks the boundary between the historic and modern development of the district. Close to the seven or so main roads, owners of stylish condominiums from Engel & Völkers Vienna benefit from the short distances to the city centre and other major Austrian cities.

Buying a flat in a district of contrasts: Contrast-rich living in the third city district

The district around Rochusmarkt, as the property location Landstrasse is also known, is known for its diversity in all areas. Whether you want to be at home on Erdberg, reside in the upmarket Reisner district not far from imposing diplomatic mansions, enjoy urban shopping and dining on Landstraßer Hauptstraße or live in the centre of research and media - the Hundertwasser district and St. Marx: the Landstraße district offers the right property for every taste and the perfect location not far from Vienna's old town. Find out more about the characteristics and special features of the third district and gather convincing arguments for the sale of your property with our comprehensive district portrait.

Your Engel & Völkers real estate agent recommends: Benefit from the practical possibilities in Wieden

Situated within the Gürtel, which was laid out on the site of the former Linienwall, today's fourth district was only created in 1861 after the new creation of the neighbouring district of Margareten. As a typical inner district with a rare selection of idyllic green spaces, hardly any other Viennese urban area offers such demonstrably high development potential as the property location of Wieden. The newly built main railway station not far from your modern flat is just one of many examples of the dynamic developments in the fourth district. The Wieden district has created a comfortable residential neighbourhood that appeals to families as well as couples and commuters and convinces them to buy a property.

History enthusiasts will find their dream flat in Margareten with our estate agents

In 1562, the foundation stone was laid for the first water pipeline at the imperial court of Ferdinand I, which was known as the ‘Siebenbrunner Hofwasserleitung’ due to its location in the Siebenbrunnenfeld. The water was collected in seven wells, which were channelled to a reservoir under the Augustinian Bastion in Vienna and from there to the court. In the 19th century, when Emperor Franz I allowed the citizens to share in the court water pipeline as the only existing source of water to date, the inhabitants built the Margaretenbrunnen fountain on the square of the same name, which still exists today, in gratitude. Travel further into Margareten's past with our district portrait and find out essential facts about the fifth district.

Idyllic living in Mariahilf - the district at the pulse of nature

As part of the inner district area, the sixth district has a considerable number of parks and green spaces that offer a break away from the vibrant centre of Vienna. With one of the steepest topographies of the inner districts, Mariahilf is a popular destination for sports enthusiasts, who can find a natural sports facility not far from their well-kept flat. The largest green area is the so-called ‘Esterházy Park’ with around 10,400 square metres. It is also home to the striking landmark of the sixth district - the famous ‘Haus des Meeres’ zoo, one of the most popular excursion destinations in the property location.

The Neubau cultural centre convinces with the purchase of tasteful properties

The Museumsquartier, created in 2001, is not only one of the most important institutions in the seventh district, but also enjoys popularity beyond the city limits as part of the Historic Centre cultural heritage site. Museums such as the Leopold Museum or the MUMOK (Museum of Modern Art) have contributed to the development of one of the most important museum locations in Austria, which culture lovers can enjoy after buying a flat from Engel & Völkers Vienna. Further information on the Neubau residential area can be found in the detailed district portrait by our experienced estate agents.

Quiet residential area meets city centre: this is the property location Josefstadt

The eighth district is not only the smallest catchment area in the Austrian capital, it is also one of the most densely built-up regions in Vienna, a city of 2.8 million inhabitants. Located between Vienna's Gürtel and Zweierlinie, only around two per cent of the district's area is dedicated to parks. Schönbornpark, a garden palace from the 18th century, is perhaps a popular destination for tourists and property owners for this very reason. The estate agents at the renowned real estate agency Engel & Völkers will show you what other special features property buyers are confronted with after buying a flat in Josefstadt.

Alsergrund - the student quarter in the context of property sales

From the Ministry of Defence Rossauer Kaserne to the Natural History Museum in the Narrenturm and Palais Liechtenstein, which can be reached via the artfully constructed Strudlhofstiege: the ninth district is one of the most splendid and architecturally interesting areas in Vienna. In combination with cultural highlights such as the Volksoper opera house or the gastronomic culture of the Servitenviertel, it is not only the tastes of the predominantly young buyer target groups who are setting up a new home in Alsergrund that are catered for here.

Ideal location in a picturesque setting: ‘Griaß di’ in the Hietzing sales area

Thanks to its location in the west of Vienna in the transitional area between the Alps and the Vienna Basin, the 13th district has created a scenic jewel that was declared a ‘bourgeois stronghold in the countryside’ in the Middle Ages for good reason. Here, with pleasant temperatures all year round, you can feel what is meant by Vienna's high quality of life. Including parts of the Vienna Woods nature reserve and the large palace park of Schönbrunn, the residential dream of a wealthy clientele is fulfilled here. Find out in our district portrait why it is worth selling your villa, house or flat in Hietzing.

From Inzersdorf to Liesing: discover Liesing's diverse neighbourhoods

Completed in 1956 as the 23rd municipal district, the diversity of the sales area is still reflected today in the eight different and formerly independent cadastral districts. While Inzersdorf in the east of the residential district is known as an industrial area, Erlaa and Siebenhirten impress with spacious residential areas such as Alt-Erlaa not far from historic village centres. The eponymous district of Liesing is located to the west of Siebenhirten and also scores points with property buyers with its old town centre. Atzgersdorf and Mauer fascinate with their mixed development of residential and commercial buildings near the Vienna Woods. Finally, Rodaun and Kalksburg have idyllic locations that make buying a villa or house an attractive proposition.
