The Mödling district is an administrative district of the State of Lower Austria .

history

The Mödling district has existed since 1896, before the municipalities were co-administered with those of the Baden district . There was an area change in 1932 when the communities of Achau and Hennersdorf fell from the Bruck an der Leitha district to Mödling. In 1938 the district in Greater Vienna was incorporated as the 24th district , with individual communities being added to the 25th district.

At the request of the Allied Commission, the Mödling district and all other parts integrated in Vienna in 1938 remained part of Greater Vienna until 1954 , although the National Council had already passed the Territorial Change Act in 1946 to largely postpone it. This legal situation from 1946–1954 made it impossible in all parts of Greater Vienna to hold district council elections or any local elections. During this time, a provisional Mödling community committee and later a community council, with voting ratios based on local state election results, acted as the 24th district representative . The designated mayor of Mödling was appointed mayor of Vienna from 1946 to 1954 and was entrusted with the municipal function of district chairman .

geography

The district lies on 277.47 km² bordering Vienna to the south . The district is divided by the thermal bath line, with the eastern half in the Vienna Basin and the western half in the Vienna Woods .

It is located in the industrial district and is also assigned to the main industrial district region in spatial planning .

nature

Viticulture and the Vienna Woods with the Föhrenberge Nature Park determine the landscape. A special gem is the Eichkogel nature reserve , a hill with dry grassland that is home to many rare animal and plant species.

economy

The Mödling district is one of the smallest in terms of area, but economically one of the strongest in Austria. It also has the highest tax revenue. While most of the businesses are located in the flat east, the forest communities are mainly residential communities, where many of the Viennese population's second homes are also located. The best-known company is the Shopping City Süd (SCS) , one of the largest shopping centers in Europe .

traffic

The Mödling district, together with the Korneuburg district , is one of two districts in Austria in which four different motorways and expressways run, namely the south motorway A 2, the Vienna outer ring motorway A 21, as well as the Vienna outer ring expressway S 1 and the Southeast Autobahn A 3. Other important streets are the former federal highways Wiener Neustädter Straße B 17 (partly also Triester Straße ) and Ödenburger Straße B 16.

The Southern Railway of ÖBB is the most important north-south connection. There is also the Pottendorfer line , the Aspangbahn and the Badner Bahn .
