FACTS Demography
Vienna’s idyllic west
Sinus-Milieus ®
Lots of space, greenery, and distinctive elegance characterise Vienna’s Thirteenth District. Hietzing immediately stands out from its neighbouring districts with front gardens, tree-lined av- enues, and spacious streets defining the urban landscape, while extensive green and recreational areas such as Schönbrunn palace gardens, Roter Berg, and Lainzer Tiergarten park give the district its exquisite charm. It comes as little surprise that Hietzing is considered one of Vienna’s most desirable residential areas, especially amongst families. Apart from its impressive natural reserves with more than two-thirds of its area dedicated to grassland, Hietzing surpasses all other dis- tricts of Vienna while also providing a wide variety of cultural and ar- chitectural highlights. Major buildings such as Schloss Schönbrunn palace and Hermes villa attract many visitors every year. Elegant concept stores, stylish cafés, and traditional restaurants are ideal for a stroll and spending an hour or two in the centre of Alt-Hietzing. Many of the long-established pubs and taverns have become institu- tions enjoying an excellent reputation far beyond the borders of the district. Hietzing is in high demand as a residential district; no other district has a larger proportion of privately owned apartments. Land reserves available for development are limited. The supply of new homes in Hietzing is still rather scarce and can only meet the high demand to a limited extent. Even so, there has recently been some more movement on the real-estate market. Examples include
land use reclassifications and urban development plans allowing roof extensions at Fleschgasse 15–17. A protective zone is also planned in some areas to preserve the historical urban character. The existing business development zone at Hietzinger Kai is under- going expansion; the office tower will remain in use for the purpose. Green spaces and trees are to be preserved as they contribute to sustainable development and a better quality of life. Apart from that, several smaller, high-quality residential projects are under development such as Wittgenstein 23 on Wittgensteinstraße, Speising:70 on Speisinger Straße, TWIN Estates on Köchelgasse, LAI153 on Lainzer Straße, and Hietzinger Hauptstraße 132. Despite the impressive amount of green space at more than 70 percent – one of the highest in Vienna – the district is still dedicated to greening measures and revitalising the public space. One exam- ple is Altgasse, which underwent successful greening in 2025. The Lainz neighbourhood focuses on conservation, climate protection, and cautious, gradual development. The typical building stock in the historical centre and adjoining villa development with its spacious gardens define the green character of Hietzing, and are to be preserved in the future. Improvements in foot and bicycle traffic are also planned, including new crossings along the connecting railway and an expansion of the main cycling network from Wiental valley to the southwest route.
