Bruck an der Leitha District

Bruck an der Leitha is an administrative district in Lower Austria comprising 33 municipalities of varying sizes spread between Vienna and the Slovakian border. The area is characterized by wine production, agriculture, and several towns connected by the Leitha River and its surroundings.

The territory expanded in 2017 when several municipalities from the former Wien-Umgebung District were integrated, including the town of Schwechat. This administrative reform fundamentally shaped the district's current structure and boundaries.
