Baden District

Baden District is an administrative region in Lower Austria that spans across multiple towns and villages south of Vienna. It includes both rural communities and established towns that serve as local centers for their surrounding areas.

The district was established in 1849 when Austria separated administrative functions from the judicial system. This reorganization reshaped how local government worked in the region for decades to come.

The towns and villages here each have their own character and local celebrations that mark the seasons. These communities show how smaller places maintain their distinct identities while being part of a larger district.

The district administration office handles official matters such as identification documents, licenses, and permits for residents. Visitors can find help with most government-related questions at the main administrative center.

The district is home to spa towns like Baden and Bad Vöslau that have attracted visitors for generations due to their thermal springs. These places remain popular stops for those seeking relaxation close to Vienna.
