Währing, Administrative district in Vienna, Austria
Währing occupies 6.28 square kilometers in northwest Vienna, extending across the slopes of Wienerwald between the bypass and Gürtel Hohenstraße.
The district served as the final resting place for composers Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert before their remains were transferred to different locations.
Multiple foreign embassies maintain their offices within Währing's boundaries, contributing to the international presence in Vienna's diplomatic landscape.
The district operates under postal code 1180 and connects to neighboring areas including Döbling to the north, Hernals to the west, and Alsergrund to the east.
The Bach Währinger river flows through the district, creating natural divisions between residential neighborhoods and embassy compounds.
