Wulzendorf

Wulzendorf is a residential area in Donaustadt composed of apartment buildings built across different time periods and woven into northeastern Vienna's urban layout. A major portion was constructed between 1924 and 1928 as the Müllnermais Settlement, designed as social housing with multiple residential blocks.

The area first appeared in records around 1150 as a medieval village that was abandoned following severe floods in 1568. This abandonment meant the location lay largely undeveloped for centuries until the 20th century transformation into a modern residential district.

The settlement preserves the name of a medieval place whose history remains visible in how the neighborhood identifies itself. Visitors can see in the building layout and architecture how early 20th century social housing shaped daily life and community.

The residential area connects to central Vienna by the 92A bus line and has had subway access since 1982. Walking through the neighborhood provides the best way to see the buildings and understand their layout, with good accessibility throughout.

Archaeological discoveries of ceramic fragments near Breitenlee confirm that a genuine medieval village once occupied this location before its later abandonment. These findings provide physical evidence of human settlement that ended long before the modern housing development took shape.
