Leopoldstadt, Second district in Vienna, Austria.
Leopoldstadt extends between the Danube River and Donaukanal, featuring numerous parks, markets, and residential neighborhoods across 19 square kilometers.
The district received its name from Emperor Leopold I and became a designated Jewish settlement in 1622, developing into a central European Jewish community.
The Augarten park contains the Vienna Boys Choir headquarters, a porcelain manufactory, and formal gardens designed in classical Baroque style.
The district connects to central Vienna through multiple metro lines, including U1 and U2, with Praterstern station providing direct access to the airport.
Two enormous concrete defense towers from World War II stand in Augarten park, reaching heights of 55 meters above the Baroque gardens.
