The relatively young district (compared to the others, at least) was formed by a resolution of the Vienna Landtag on June 29, 1946.

Geography

The Donaustadt district is in the northeast part of Vienna and is the largest of the districts in area, occupying about one-quarter of the Vienna city area. The district borders the 2nd district (Leopoldstadt), the 11th district (Simmering), and the 21st district (Floridsdorf) as well as parts of Lower Austria. Vienna (German: Wien [viːn]; Hungarian: Bécs) is the capital of Austria, and also one of Austrias nine federal states (Bundesland Wien). ... The Volksprater amusement park in the Wiener Prater The Hauptallee in the Prater Leopoldstadt (Leopold-Town) is Viennas second district. ... Simmering is a cooking technique in which foods are cooked in hot liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water (at average sea level air pressure), 100 °C (212 °F). ... Floridsdorf is the 21st district in the city of Vienna, Austria. ... Lower Austria (Niederösterreich) is one of the nine federal states or Bundesländer in Austria. ...

The district is made up of eight territories (former villages), whose individual coats of arms make up the coat of arms for the whole district. The eight territories are:

• Aspern
• Breitenlee
• Hirschstetten
• Essling
• Kagran
• Kaisermühlen
• Stadlau
• Süßenbrunn

In addition to these eight territories, Donaustadt also contains a ninth area, Donau City, which is between the Alte Donau ("Old Danube") and Neue Donau ("New Danube"). In addition, another area of Donaustadt, Lobau, contains a large forest and meadow. Altogether, about 59% of the district is greenery, which is 30% of all the green spaces in all of Vienna. The area went through a dramatic change as a result of the 1870–75 legislation Wiener Donauregulierung. Were the original Danube to branch out into its many arms, it would take up a considerable area. In order to control the danger of the Danube flooding over, a side channel was built parallel to the river, creating the Donauinsel. Aspern is a village in Austria, on the Danube, 4 miles north-east of Vienna. ...

Politics

The Soviet occupation installed Communist Mathias Böhm as the first district director. Social democrat Leopold Horacek was the next one. Because the status of the district was ambiguous until 1954, public votes for director were not used. Horacek was confirmed by the first vote of the people in 1954, and until 1991, the SPÖ held about 55% of the popular vote. In 1996, the FPÖ's increasing popularity caused the SPÖ to lose the majority for the first time, when they gather 43% of the popular vote. In 2001, they regained the majority, claiming 54.25% of the vote. The FPÖ received 19.83%, the ÖVP had 11.83%, the Greens got 9.44%, and the Liberal Forum had 2.69%.
