What are the main landmarks in Stadlau?
Nothing here is on the monument list. Vienna's record for Stadlau names no church, museum or memorial, which leaves the neighbourhood defined by its extent and its place inside Donaustadt rather than by any single building. Hirschstetten and Aspern lie nearest.
Both of those, along with Kagran and Floridsdorf, carry the names a visitor to this side of Vienna would recognise, and Stadlau sits among them without adding one.
What is the history of Stadlau?
Stadlau's dates are not recorded. No charter year, no merger date and no founding entry attach to the neighbourhood, so its written past belongs to Donaustadt, the 22nd district that administers it, and to Vienna above that. The chain ends in Austria.
The entry fixes two things only: an extent of just under five square kilometres, and a set of neighbours in Hirschstetten, Aspern and Kagran.
Where is Stadlau?
Stadlau covers just under five square kilometres of Donaustadt, Vienna's 22nd district, with Hirschstetten, Aspern and Kagran on the same stretch of the city.
