History & character
From the Lumberjack Meadow to a Modern City
The name Stockerau likely derives from the combination of Stocker-Au, meaning the meadow of the lumberjacks. This historical connection to nature is still evident today in the Stockerauer Au, an important recreation area that has been under protection since 1994. The town has a long history dating back to the Neolithic period, with the first documented mention in 1012 in connection with Saint Koloman. Over the centuries, Stockerau evolved from a small market to a significant town, receiving city rights in 1893 and today being the largest town in the Weinviertel with over 17,000 residents. The connection to Vienna was further strengthened by the opening of the railway line in 1841 and the subsequent rapid transit connection in 1962.
Today, Stockerau presents itself as a vibrant city, blending historical heritage with modern living options. The town is characterized by a calm, family-friendly atmosphere, offering its residents both urban amenities and proximity to nature.

Real travel time per inhabited location (250 m grid, clipped to the real municipality 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).

Climate & environment
Where trees or woody vegetation grow, from satellite imagery (Copernicus, 5 m, 2021 data). There is no tree register like Vienna’s here, the satellite view still shows the real green.
Light & shadow

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.
