geography

The district borders the Czech Republic in the north . The Manhartsberg is located within the district , so it has a share in the Waldviertel and (to a lesser extent) in the Weinviertel. For the spatial planning of the country, however, it belongs entirely to the main region of the Waldviertel .

Population development

In 1939 the population reached its maximum of 42,241 people. As in other districts on the northern border, the population of the Horn district has also decreased since 1939. Up until 1951 there was a large increase in population in many cities and municipalities, but the opposite was the case in the Horn district. In 1951 the population curve, which had been stagnating since 1910, finally fell downwards and dropped to 40,913 people, only to drop to 38,288 in 1961 - this value roughly corresponds to that of the 1910 census.

Since then, the population has stabilized again and, according to the 2001 census, is 32,400. Looking at these figures, it becomes clear that the figures fell by around 200 people annually in the exact years of the Iron Curtain - which put the district and its neighbors in an uncomfortable peripheral location. Before and after that, the population either grew or stagnated , as is currently the case.
