History & character
From Workers' Community to Urban Diversity
Simmering is the 11th district of Vienna and was established in 1892 from the independent municipalities of Simmering and Kaiserebersdorf, along with parts of other municipalities. The area was first documented in 1028 and has been a center for breweries and industry for centuries. The Wiener Zentralfriedhof, opened in 1874, significantly shapes the district's identity. Historically, the Simmeringer Haide served as a site for festivities and military exercises, while during World War II, a subcamp of the Mauthausen concentration camp was established here. After the war, Simmering experienced various border changes and a steady increase in population.
Today, Simmering is known as a classic workers' and industrial district that stands out due to its favorable transport connections. The age structure of the population is relatively young, making the district a vibrant place with urban diversity.

Access · travel time
Where can you get from here, by which mode, to which destination? The map colours every location in the district by real travel time (dark = fast).
Real travel time per inhabited location (250 m grid, clipped to the real district boundary) to destinations in Vienna. 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).

Real building heights (official Vienna building model, computed from the BEV laser scan in the surroundings), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. 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. In Vienna the terrain rarely matters: ten minutes in the Innere Stadt, and just as little at the Döbling vineyards, where the slope lies to the north-west and never touches the southern sun. It only tells in the Wienerwald valleys, at Kalksburg a good two hours on 21 December.
