Facts and practical information

Währing is the 18th district of Vienna and lies in northwestern Vienna on the edge of the Vienna Woods. It was formed in 1892 from the unification of the older suburbs of Währing, Weinhaus, Gersthof, Pötzleinsdorf, Neustift am Walde and Salmannsdorf. In 1938 Neustift am Walde and Salmannsdorf were annexed to the neighbouring 19th District. Because of several wealthy neighbourhoods, Währing is known today as one of Vienna’s upmarket districts, along with Döbling and Hietzing. ()
