geography

Gießhübl was previously a purely agricultural place, today it is mainly a residential community.

A new neighborhood was created in 2012 through an exchange of territory between Perchtoldsdorf and Kaltenleutbaren on the order of 58 hectares . Perchtoldsdorf now borders Weissenbach (Hinterbrühl) over a length of about 300 meters, while Gießhübl lost the common border with Kaltenleutgabe.

history

The place emerged from a settlement founded in 1592 with rural structures.

In the period between 1938 and 1954, Gießhübl, like 96 other municipalities in Lower Austria, belonged to Greater Vienna , which at that time comprised 26 districts and was part of the 24th district, Mödling. It was not until 1954 that Gießhübl became an independent municipality in the province of Lower Austria again, which was celebrated in September 2004 with a big 50th anniversary.
