The Traunviertel (in municipality names also Traunkreis ) is the landscape of the southeast of Upper Austria . It is named after the Traun river , which originally formed the north-western boundary of this part of the country from Upper Austria.
Traditional part of the country
The region is derived from the medieval Traungau .
Since the formation of the political districts in 1868, the quarters in Upper Austria no longer have a legal basis and are purely landscape names. The older district division , which was still based on the old quarters, was replaced.
The south-eastern part of the Traunviertel borders the Tennengau in the south-west, the Liezen district in the south and the Mostviertel in the east .
Transferred to today's administration, the quarter comprises the following political districts :
- Gmunden
- Church Village
- Steyr-Land
- Steyr city
- Linz (right of the Danube)
- Linz-Land (right of the Traun)
- Wels-Land (right of the Traun)
