history

Until the incorporation of Gries, the area of ​​what is now the Europa-Neustift district was a rural area around Maria Heim , and traffic was via Maria-Heim-Weg. From the late 1920s onwards, various new streets and an urban workers' settlement called "Rione Littorio" ( Liktorenviertel ) were built (from 1935). The center formed the "piazza Littoria" (Liktorenplatz). In today's Don Bosco district , workers' houses in the so-called semi-rural style (“semirurali”) were built from 1938.

After the war, Piazza Littoria was named Matteottiplatz after the anti-fascist Giacomo Matteotti .

The district's main church, the Regina Pacis ( Queen of Peace ) Church , was consecrated in 1960.
