Once a sleepy, suburban working-class district, Meidling has much more to offer than the notorious Meidling ”L“ that non-Meidling residents have to practice so long to perfect. The Twelfth District possesses a wide variety of qualities after years of developing into a popular up-and-coming residential district. Examples include the many quiet squares and relaxed residential areas in the individual traditional Viennese neighbour- hoods. Even so, downtown Vienna and St. Stephen’s Cathedral are still within easy reach with convenient transport connections. Meidling also has much to explore beyond the well-known hot- spots such as Schloss Hetzendorf palace, the U4 discotheque, and Theresienbad: Meidling’s market is one example of a culinary hotspot attracting mixed custom to its amazing array of restaurants and cafés. The Meidlinger Hauptstraße high street is not far away, providing a great opportunity for shopping or a casual stroll. The district has enough in the way of architecture to satisfy church aficionados in particular – known for its A district in transition
density of churches, Meidling has everything from neo-Roman- esque to modern.
Many new construction and renovation projects throughout the district reflect Meidling’s increasing popularity and demand. Projects under construction especially include VIO Plaza on Schönbrunner Schloßstraße and Stadthaus Meidling near the Vienna Beltway. The expansion near Rosenhügel hill at the triple border to the Thirteenth and Twenty-Third Districts is well underway in the Wildgarten urban expansion project; there are also larger projects under development around the Wolfganggasse project area in Eichenstraße such as OAX Vienna and Lebenscampus on Wolfganggasse, to name just a few. The favourable connections to public transport, small-town atmo- sphere in parts, and relatively low residential property prices are set to increase the district’s attractiveness in the coming years.
