History & character
From Vineyard to Noble Residential District
Hietzing is the 13th district of Vienna and has a long history dating back to 1130. The name Hietzing derives from "Hiezo" and was originally an emerging wine-growing village. After the destruction caused by the Turkish sieges, the area recovered and developed, particularly due to the construction of Schönbrunn Palace, into a popular residential area for nobility and high officials. The proximity to the imperial court led to strong construction activity that continues to shape Hietzing's image today. In the 19th century, many new residential houses were built, inhabited by affluent Viennese.
Today, Hietzing is a quiet and noble district characterized by its proximity to the Vienna Woods and the Schönbrunn Palace park. The former villages that make up the district are harmoniously connected and offer a high quality of life. Hietzing combines historical elements with modern residential needs and is known for its idyllic living conditions.

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.
