History & character
From Suburban Community to Urban Enumeration District
Wilhelmsdorf was once an independent suburban community of Vienna, which has merged into today's 12th municipal district of Meidling. The settlement originated around 1770 when some houses were built near the brick ponds, a development fostered by Ignaz Ritter von Neuwall's brickworks. In the 1840s, residents sought independence and established their own municipality in 1846, named after the provost Wilhelm Sedlaczek. At that time, Wilhelmsdorf comprised 46 houses, but financial weakness led to its reunification with Untermeidling in 1850. The formation of the 12th Viennese district in 1890 included Wilhelmsdorf. Today, Wilhelmsdorf is known as an enumeration district, although its boundaries do not match those of the former municipality. Some street names and the Wilhelmsdorfer Park still remind us of the history of this area.

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.
