Baden District

The Baden District encompasses 753.4 square kilometers of territory and contains 30 municipalities, including the towns of Baden, Bad Vöslau, and Traiskirchen.

The district administration structure was established in 1849 under Franz Joseph I, separating administrative functions from judicial responsibilities in the Austrian government system.

The 30 municipalities within Baden District maintain their local traditions through regular events while managing modern administrative responsibilities for their 143,657 residents.

District offices handle essential government services including marriage licenses, driver licenses, passports, assembly permits, hunting permits, and public health matters.

The district operates through a system where appointed district governors oversee administrative functions across multiple municipalities without direct electoral representation.
