Gänserndorf is a town with 11,643 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020) in Marchfeld ( Lower Austria ) and the seat of the district administration of the district of the same name .
geography
Gänserndorf is located about 20 km northeast of Vienna in the northern Marchfeld . It is connected to Vienna both by Angerner Straße B 8 and by the northern railway. The population of the political district is steadily increasing due to this supplementary function - from 80,000 in the 1991 census to over 100,000 today
The most widespread soil type in the region are the Chernoseme (black earth soils). They are typical soils of the steppe climate. Due to the climatic conditions prevailing after the Ice Age with pronounced dryness in summer and cold winters, the plant material of the steppe-like vegetation was only insufficiently degraded. It was deposited on the surface and developed the typical, powerful humus horizon. Deep Chernosemes are among the most fertile soils in Austria
The climate can be assigned to the Pannonian climate area. It offers the conditions for a wide variety of production on the farms, which include intensive vegetable growing and market fruit cultivation to specialized winemakers and animal owners. Of the not quite 80,000 hectares of agricultural land, over 41,000 are used for growing grain - corn with around 6,000 hectares, oilseeds around 7,700 hectares, sugar beets 4,700 hectares and vegetable cultivation a little under 7,500 hectares.

history
On February 10, 1115, "Genstribindorf" is mentioned for the first time in a document. This document also defines the boundaries of the parish and tithe district. The name Genstribindorf - Gänsetreiberdorf can be traced back to the fact that geese were kept in large flocks here for the first time - the marshy willow stream depression was ideal for this - but the name could also refer to a person or nickname "goose driver".
The name of the place was mentioned in various spellings between the 12th and 18th centuries, as the popular names were entered by hearing. Under Maria Theresa , the place was officially designated in 1741 as "Großgänserndorf". From about 1750 the place was called Unter-Gänserndorf in Marchfeld (in contrast to Ober-Gänserndorf near Korneuburg ). After the district administration was established in 1901, Unter-Gänserndorf applied for a name change and on March 21, 1904 the name "Gänserndorf" was announced.
The upswing of Gänserndorf began with the connection to the Northern Railway in 1838. In 1853 the community was granted market rights; it was elevated to a town by resolution of the Lower Austrian provincial government on December 19, 1958.
In 1917 a collection point for "war metal" was set up in Gänserndorf as well.
On the instructions of Gauleiter Josef Bürckel , State Commissioner Walter Rafelsberger drew up plans in autumn 1938 for the first "Jewish collection camp", also known as an "emigrant retraining camp for non-Aryans", with barracks for 10,000 people in Marchfeld . The aim was to move the Jewish unemployed out of Vienna and free up living space, to retrain Jews in manual professions and to use their labor while they were still in the country. At the end of February 1939, around 80 Jews were housed in Gänserndorf in addition to an SA security team and were busy with preparatory work. In April 1939 a maximum of 160 Jewish workers was reached, but soon many of them were withdrawn for other work assignments. As a result, up to 80 Jews were employed on farms. As high costs had already been incurred and the financing remained unclear, the camp was closed on April 1, 1940.
Gänserndorf developed into a school and shopping town in the 19th and 20th centuries, but also a cultural center. Specialist retail centers have set up shop, the Weinviertel Clinic (Medical Center Gänserndorf) has been open since July 15, 2002 and a wind farm has been put into operation.
The city is the starting point for excursions to the Weinviertel as well as to the March-Donau-Auen and the castles of the Marchfeld .
At the beginning of 2004, Gänserndorf was included in the urban renewal campaign of the Province of Lower Austria.
Population development
Since both the district and the city are conveniently located in Vienna's commuting area, the population has almost tripled since the 1960s
Religions
The largest religious community is the Roman Catholic Church , to which 69.1% of the population belong. 3.6% belong to Islam , 3.3% are Protestants , 1.4% are Orthodox . 20.1% of the population are without religious beliefs.
Gänserndorf is the seat of a Roman Catholic parish and three mosques.
