History & character
From Murlingen to a Working-Class District
Meidling, originally known as Murlingen, has been documented since 1104 and largely belonged to the Klosterneuburg Monastery. In the Middle Ages, the region was characterized by field and wine cultivation. The discovery of a sulfur spring in 1755 made the Theresienbad a popular excursion destination. With the establishment of industrial enterprises at the end of the 18th century, the character of the area changed fundamentally. In 1892, the municipalities were consolidated into a district that was considered a typical working-class area. The development of infrastructure, such as the regulation of the Wien River and the construction of subway stations, contributed to urbanization.
Today, Meidling is a vibrant district that combines both rural and urban elements. The areas of Hetzendorf and Altmannsdorf have retained their rural character, while numerous residential complexes and municipal buildings have been developed throughout the district. The population has stabilized and is growing again since the turn of the millennium.

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.
