History & character
From Independent Community to Modern District
Aspern was an independent municipality until it was incorporated into Vienna in 1904/05. The area has been settled since the Neolithic period, with the first documented mention occurring in 1258. The village faced several floods and suffered during the Turkish sieges. A significant event in its history was the Battle of Aspern in 1809, where the Austrian army under Archduke Karl defeated the French troops. The development of the area transitioned from agricultural roots to small-scale settlement structures that still characterize the southeastern part today. After Aspern remained part of Vienna in 1954, it became part of the 22nd district, Donaustadt, and continued to evolve.

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.
