Donaustadt

The 22nd district of Vienna extends over 102 square kilometers, containing eight territories including Aspern, Breitenlee, Hirschstetten, and Essling along the Danube River.

In 1809, the Battle of Aspern-Essling took place in this area, where Archduke Charles of Austria led forces against Napoleon's army in a significant military confrontation.

The Blumengärten Hirschstetten botanical gardens maintain diverse plant collections and organize exhibitions throughout the year for public education and entertainment.

The district connects to central Vienna through multiple transportation options, including the U2 subway line, tram services, and extensive bus networks.

The Vienna International Centre and Danube Tower stand within Donaustadt, while 59 percent of its territory consists of green spaces, parks, and meadows.
