History & character
From Independent Community to City District
Grinzing was an independent municipality until 1892 and then became part of the 19th district of Vienna, Döbling. The name Grinzing, an -ing-name, refers to the affiliation with a clan, indicating a long history. The area was first mentioned in a document in 1114. During the Middle Ages, Grinzing developed into a thriving village, primarily inhabited by vintners. Despite repeated destructions, such as by the Turks and a major fire, the village gradually grew. In the 19th century, Grinzing experienced slow but steady growth and was finally incorporated into the city of Vienna in 1892.
Today, Grinzing is known for its wine culture and picturesque location at the Vienna Woods. Efforts to redesign the town center and preserve its historical character indicate that Grinzing aims to maintain its village structure and traditional Heurigen culture. The challenges of urban development and gentrification have led to active engagement from residents and citizen initiatives to secure the quality of life in this charming district.

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.
