Ried District

The district spans 585 square kilometers across Upper Austria, encompassing both urban centers and agricultural lands between Linz and Salzburg.

The district structure was established in 1868 during Franz Joseph I's reign, creating a governmental framework that connected municipalities with state administration.

District residents maintain regional traditions through seasonal festivals, folk music performances, and local food preparations throughout the municipalities.

The district office serves as the central point for administrative procedures, document processing, and governmental services for 36 municipalities in the region.

The district functions as both a governmental entity and a geographical unit, coordinating services across multiple townships while preserving individual municipal identities.
