Salzburg and the surrounding area

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The geographical term Salzburg and its surroundings generally describes the Austrian city of Salzburg and its surrounding communities in the Salzburg Basin and corresponds to the regional association of Salzburg city and surrounding communities . In a broader sense, the term refers to the space that the Salzburg district (city) - the city is a statutory city ​​with the rank of a political district - and the Salzburg surrounding area (Salzburg Land, Flachgau) together occupy the borders with the province of Upper Austria . In the broadest sense, Salzburg and the surrounding area is the name of the NUTS 3 region ( AT323 ), which includes the Hallein (Tennengau) district in addition to the city of Salzburg and the Flachgau .

About the terms

The term Salzburg and the surrounding area represents the urban and rural city ​​region of Salzburg.

The amalgamation of the neighboring communities of the state capital to form a regional association forms the Salzburg planning region of the core region: It includes the communities Anif , Anthering , Bergheim , Elixhausen , Elsbethen , Eugendorf , Grödig , Großgmain , Hallwang , Wals-Siezenheim and the city of Salzburg, with Großgmain, Anthering , Elixhausen and Eugendorf do not directly border the city. In official statistics, this region is used - but without the communities Großgmain and Anthering - the designation Salzburg with neighboring communities . In the Salzburg State Development Plan, however, all of these together with Hallein , Puch and Oberalm have the name City and Surrounding Area Salzburg , which also includes the Bavarian communities of Ainring , Freilassing and Piding .

The district of Salzburg Umgebung is an administrative rural district typical of Austrian cities with the seat of the district administration in the city (i.e. extra-territorial). The district also includes the regional associations Flachgau Nord (Salzachtal around Oberndorf and northeastern Flachgau), Salzburger Seenland and Osterhorngruppe (Salzburg part of the Salzkammergut ), which are no longer part of the city's urban softness . Central locations of level B are Oberndorf , Seekirchen , Neumarkt and Straßwalchen .

Hallein is also included in the NUTS region of Salzburg and the surrounding area as a regional center A * and its district with the regional associations Salzach-Tennengau and Lammertal . In the broader sense of the region name Salzburg and its surroundings (which was created for the common EU statistics (NUTS) for the attention of Eurostat in order to comply with the limit specifications of a region of NUTS level 3) the term corresponds - within the boundaries of today's federal state - to historical name out of the mountains of the prince-archbishopric of Salzburg. This expression is partly still in use today and stands in opposition to the name Innergebirg for the three Gebirgsgaue in the south of the federal state of Salzburg.

In contrast to this, Statistics Austria defined a city ​​region of Salzburg  (SR040, corresponds to the Salzburg central area in the state development plan ) with 46 municipalities, with Salzburg, Anif, Bad Vigaun , Bergheim, Elsbethen, Eugendorf, Grödig, Hallein, Hallwang, Oberalm and Wals-Siezenheim as the core zone as well as with an outer zone that includes the rest of Flachgau and the Salzach-Tennengau (i.e. the Tennengau without the Lammertal) and also the Upper Austrian border communities of Palting and Perwang am Grabensee .

Since Austria joined the EU and in particular since the country joined the Schengen area , the city has again become the regional center for the neighboring Bavarian regions of the Berchtesgadener Land district (Berchtesgaden, Reichenhall and Alpenvorland), which is also the basis of the joint cross-border EuRegio Salzburg - Berchtesgadener Land - Traunstein represents.

A city ​​exodus can be observed in Salzburg , the Flachgau, with 300 inhabitants per km², is one of the most intensive growth areas in Austria. In contrast to the Inner Mountains, the focus of tourism in the outer mountains is on the summer season, both in city ​​tourism in the city of Salzburg and in the tourist regions of the Salzburg Lake District, Salzkammergut and Lammertal. The mountain areas are relatively little developed and are - with the exception of the hot spots of the Untersberg as the city ​​mountain of Salzburg and the Dachstein - as alpine insider tips.
