History & character
From District to Center of Life
Kaplanhof is a district in the northeastern center of Linz, which was formerly known as Kaplanhofviertel. In 2014, it was expanded towards the harbor and now carries the name Kaplanhof. The geographical location of the district is defined by the Untere Donaulände to the north, a railway line and the Industriezeile to the east, Krankenhausstraße to the south, and Gruberstraße to the west. Kaplanhof borders several other districts, including Rathausviertel and Hafenviertel. With a land share of 0.9% of Linz's city area, it is a central part of the city. Today, important institutions such as the General Hospital of the City of Linz, the Pedagogical University of Upper Austria, and the Tobacco Factory can be found here, making the district a vibrant place for learning and health.

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.
