History & character
From the First Documentary Mention to Today
Leonding was first mentioned in a document in 1013 as Liutmuntinga and has since developed significantly. Originally rural, the area was part of the Duchy of Austria until the 20th century. The population grew over the centuries, and in 1975, Leonding was elevated to city status. Historical events such as grand hunts in the Kürnberger Forest and military occupations during the Napoleonic Wars shaped the town's history. The establishment of the first municipal administration in 1850 and the connection to the railway network led to further growth. Today, Leonding, with 29,161 residents, is the fourth largest city in Upper Austria, known for its industrial companies and as a green residential area on the outskirts of Linz. The city has become a vibrant part of Austria's second-largest metropolitan area.

Real travel time per inhabited location (250 m grid, clipped to the real municipality boundary) to destinations in Linz. Transit from the schedule router (Day = peak, Late = after 11pm), bike/walk/car over the street network (car computed without traffic, so rush hour takes correspondingly longer).

Climate & environment
Where trees or woody vegetation grow, from satellite imagery (Copernicus, 5 m, 2021 data). There is no tree register like Linz’s here, the satellite view still shows the real green.

How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation.
