Urfahr, Residential district north of the Danube in Linz, Austria

The northern section of Linz contains six statistical areas: Alt-Urfahr, Auberg, Harbachsiedlung, Hartmayrsiedlung, Heilham, and Karlhofsiedlung, forming a complete urban unit.

Until 1919, Urfahr maintained independence as a separate municipality before merging with Linz, following the incorporation of the Pöstlingberg community earlier that year.

The Ars Electronica Center, established in 1996, functions as a research facility examining digital revolution aspects through technology exhibitions and artistic presentations.

The Lentia City Shopping Centre, located within the Lentia 2000 residential complex, serves as the primary retail destination for the district's inhabitants.

From 1945 to 1955, the Danube River divided Linz into two occupation zones, with Urfahr under Soviet control while the southern part remained under American administration.
