Schools & kindergartens within walking distance, combined with greenery and quiet, per 250 m cell · as of: August 2026
Family-friendly is more than one number. wohnwahn combines three things families actually need, per inhabited 250 m cell: schools and kindergartens within walking distance, green space to play, and quiet, low-traffic streets. The most balanced district is St. Magdalena ().
And we’re honest about what data can’t tell you: whether a kindergarten has a free place, or how good a school is.
Warmer means more schools and kindergartens within walking distance. Every square is an inhabited 250 m cell. This is one of the three ingredients; the ranking below combines it with greenery and quiet.
Only inhabited cells are coloured. We count facilities within walking distance, NOT free places or school quality. Tap the map for the spot.
Ranked by a transparent mix: schools and kindergartens nearby, green space, and quiet. The three parts are shown next to each district, no black-box number.
Method: three parts combined per district, each per inhabited 250 m cell: schools & kindergartens within 800 m (saturated, because one in walking distance is what counts, not ten), green-space proximity, and the share of homes below 55 dB traffic noise. Greenery weighs a little more, then quiet, then facility proximity. Honest limits: we can’t see free kindergarten places, school quality, or safety beyond district level.
These districts score well on all three at once: facilities, greenery and quiet. That balance is what makes daily family life work.
Family-friendly is not about density. A calm street with a school and a kindergarten in walking distance beats a dense block with dozens but no green. That’s why we saturate the facility count instead of just adding it up.
A park or wood within walking distance matters more than most families expect. The green-living page maps it in detail; here it’s one of the three ingredients.
Low-traffic, low-noise streets make the daily walk to school and the playground calmer and safer. The quiet-living page maps the noise; here it’s built into the score.
We show which facilities are within reach, not whether they have a free place. And we don’t rate school quality. Use this to shortlist locations, then check places and schools directly.

Three things families actually use, each measured per location: schools and kindergartens within walking distance, green space to play, and quiet, low-traffic streets. We show all three next to each district so you can weigh them yourself.
No, and we say so clearly. We count facilities within walking distance, not free places or waitlists. Use this page to shortlist locations, then check availability directly with the providers or the city.
No. We measure whether schools are within walking distance, not how good they are, which depends on far more than location. For quality, look at the schools individually.
