History & character
From Agriculture to Urban Development
Alterlaa, originally known as Erlaa, was first mentioned in documents in 1114 and was an independent municipality until 1938. The area was heavily influenced by agriculture and grew slowly, with only 465 inhabitants in 1831. Following the incorporation into Vienna in 1938 and subsequent urbanization, Alterlaa lost its rural character. After World War II, it was decided that Alterlaa would remain part of the 23rd district. Today, around 15,000 people live in Alterlaa, which is increasingly urbanized. A notable event in recent history was the explosion of an unexploded bomb in 2008, which dates back to the war and raised awareness of the area's history.

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.
