Wiener Neudorf, municipality in Mödling District, Lower Austria, Austria
Wiener Neudorf is a market municipality in the Mödling District, Lower Austria, set in the flat basin south of Vienna. It is divided into an industrial zone called NO-Sud and a residential area known as Mitterfeld Siedlung, with several lakes formed from old clay pits, including the Blaue Lagune and the Gemeindeteich.
The area has been settled since around 4000 B.C. and first appeared in written records in the 12th century under the name Nowendorf. Brick production and brewing drove strong growth in the 1800s, before the Second World War brought bombing and Soviet occupation to the town.
The name Wiener Neudorf came from the local post office that linked the town to Vienna in the mid-1800s, and the name has stayed ever since. Today, the old clay lakes on the edge of the industrial zone have become spots where people swim and spend time outdoors.
The town is easy to get around on foot or by bike, especially near the lakes and green areas. Visitors coming from Vienna can reach it by public transport, and the town center is straightforward to find from the main stops.
The Eumig factory operated in Wiener Neudorf from 1919 to 1982 and produced cameras, radios, and tape recorders that were widely sold across Austria. The Eumig Museum now holds many of these objects, letting visitors handle and see the actual devices that were once made here.
