Geography Nestled in a basin at the foot of the northern Alps, Vienna covers an area of 414.65 square kilometers, making it the smallest of Austria's federal states and the only one not bordering another country. Due to Vienna's important position, it is the federal state with the largest amount of transportation and built-up area in all of Austria, with 11.3% of the area being used for building land, 11.1% for road traffic and 2.2% for the tracks of the railroad. Vienna is also the green Vienna Hornblower Palace

Vienna is also one of the four federal states in Austria that grows grapes, with vineyards accounting for 1.7% of the area. The forest cover is 16.6%, and 15.8% of the land is used for agriculture. Vienna*** is divided into 23 administrative districts. Vienna's status as one of the most important and largest cities in Central Europe should be attributed to its favorable geographical location. Situated between the northeastern foothills of the Alps and the northwestern part of the Vienna Basin, Vienna grew out of the southern part of the Danube River and now expands to both sides of the river, being the crossroads of the east-west Danube route and the north-south Amber Road. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, Austria's transport and economic relations with its neighbors to the north and east have developed significantly, and the proximity to Eastern Europe is striking; Vienna is only sixty kilometers from Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, which is the closest distance in Europe between the capitals of any two countries, except for Vatican City and Rome.

To the east of Vienna is the March River (Ma Vienna
rch) plain, and to the southeast is the Danube Steppe National Park. Vienna is surrounded to the northwest, west and southwest by the Vienna Forest, which extends all the way into the city. The Danube River flows through the city of Vienna, and in addition to the Danube, a number of smaller rivers flow into the city from the Vienna Forest, including the Vienna River. The mountains to the west connect the glacial corridor to the south, and this area is Vienna's wine-growing region. Vienna's residential neighborhoods are concentrated in the western part of the city where the air quality is better, while the industrial areas are concentrated in the eastern part of the city, where the Vienna Woods surround the city and the Danube River flows silently through it. The famous Vienna Forest surrounds the city from the west, north and south, and the vast Eastern European plain is opposite to it from the east, which is lush and vibrant everywhere.

Editing the city's population
Once the world's sixth-largest metropolis in the early 20th century, Vienna's population grew rapidly during the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1867-1918), once boasting a population of two million people, and at that time was the world's fourth-largest city after London, New York, and Paris, at which time Vienna was home to many immigrants from other parts of the empire. After the First World War, many Czechs returned to their homeland, which led to a depopulation of the city and Vienna lost a quarter of its population. During the next period of immigration, about one third of the population had Slavic and Hungarian surnames. The city of Vienna now has a population of 1.7 million (2008 statistics).

Edited history
An ancient city with a history of more than 1,800 years, Vienna was inhabited during the Neolithic period. The Celts founded Vienna around 500 BC, calling it "Vedunia". In 15 A.D. it became a frontline city of the Roman Empire, defending itself against the Germanic tribes to the north, and was called "Vindobona" by the Romans. The Romans built a castle here in the 1st century A.D., and in 881 A.D. it was first recorded as "Vinia". It became a center of crafts and commerce in the 12th century, and from the end of the 13th century to 1918 it was the capital of the Habsburg dynasty, and later the capital of Austria. It became the capital of the Duchy of Austria in 1137. Thereafter, it became the capital of the Holy Roman Empire (from 1278 onwards). with the rise of the Habsburg royal family at the end of the 13th century, it developed rapidly, with magnificent Gothic buildings springing up. from the 15th century onwards, it became the capital of the Roman Empire and the economic center of Europe. in the 16th and 17th centuries, the Ottoman invasions of Europe were blocked in Vienna. in the 18th century, Maria Tiresias In the 18th century, Maria Theresia and her son were keen on reforms, combating the power of the church and promoting social progress, while bringing about a boom in the arts, making Vienna gradually become the center of classical music in Europe, and earning it the name of "Music City". As the Austro-Hungarian Empire gained strength in the 19th century, Vienna became a major European capital, serving as the capital of both the Austrian Empire (from 1806) and the Austro-Hungarian Empire (from 1867), and in 1873 Vienna hosted the 106-day World's Fair. During the Second World War, Austria was once again merged with Nazi Germany, and after the war, Austria and Vienna, like Germany and Berlin, were governed by four zones of control divided between the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union, until Austria regained its independence in 1955. During the Cold War, Vienna was a hotbed of international espionage because it was a neutral country located between the East and West blocs.
Prehistoric, Roman and Medieval Times
Archaeological findings show that there was human activity in Vienna during the Paleolithic Age, and that the Vienna Basin was already inhabited from the Neolithic Age onwards. Vienna's favorable weather conditions and rich land resources provided a good living environment for Neolithic farmers, and russet and green stones for casting stone tools were also mined in Vienna. The Copper, Bronze and Iron Ages also left traces of human habitation in Vienna. Around 500 B.C., the Celts founded a settlement called "Vedunia" on the site of present-day Vienna, and in the 1st century A.D. the Roman Empire stationed troops and founded a city near the Danube River (in what is now the center of Vienna) to guard the borders of the Pannonian province. The Romans stayed until the 5th century, when there was a devastating fire in Vienna in the early 5th century, and the next account appears of a battle with the Magyars in 881. 955 saw the defeat of the Magyars at the Battle of Lechfeld by the King of the East Frankish Kingdom, Otto I, marking the rise of Vienna and Austria.
The Age of the Babenberg Dynasty
In 976, Leopold I of the House of Babenberg was made a vassal (feudatory) of the Eastern Bavarian Borderland (Mark) by the Holy Roman Emperor Otto II, a fief on the Hungarian border that would later evolve into Austria. 996 saw the first appearance in history books of the name "Austria The name "Austria", Ostarrichi meaning "Eastern Mark", first appeared in history books in 996, and Vienna was already an important trading city in the 11th century, and in 1155 Henry II made Vienna his capital, and a year later, on September 17, 1156, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I granted Henry II of Austria the minor prerogatives of a vassal. Henry II of Austria a minor privilege, elevating Austria from a vassal territory attached to Bavaria to an independent duchy, with Vienna becoming the duchy's capital. Vienna became the second Austrian city after Enns to enjoy the right to develop an economy in 1221, and merchants traveling through Vienna were required to offer their goods for sale within the city, which soon made Vienna a crucial trading city on the Danube road to Venice.
The Age of the Habsburgs
The Habsburgs ruled in Vienna for hundreds of years, and Vienna developed into the cultural and political center of Europe during this period. In 1278 the Habsburg German King Rudolf I (reigned from 1273 to 1291) defeated the Babenberg Dynasty Bohemian King Ottokar II after a number of conquests and began the history of Habsburg rule in Austria. In Vienna, however, the Habsburgs took a considerable time to establish their dominance, and after the death of Ottokar II in battle in 1278, his supporters in Vienna remained powerful, staging a number of revolts against the German king, Albrecht I (reigned 1298-1308), who was succeeded by the Luxembourg Dynasty's Henry VII (reigned 1308-1313, 1312), and by the Luxembourg Dynasty's Henry VII (ruled 1312-1313, 1312), who was succeeded by the German king, Henry VII (ruled 1212-1313, 1312), who was succeeded by the Luxembourg Dynasty. 1313 reigned as Holy Roman Emperor from 1312 to 1313) set his capital at Prague, Vienna's urban development went into the shadows. Vienna Opera House
Then Rudolf IV (Duke of Austria from 1358 to 1365) enacted a series of economic policies to revitalize Vienna, he established the University of Vienna in 1365, and ordered the construction of Vienna's Stefan's Cathedral, to which he contributed greatly, and for which he was known as the "Builder of Vienna". He made great contributions to Vienna and was known as the "Builder of Vienna", but thereafter he was involved in the struggle for the Habsburg succession, which led to constant riots and economic decline in Vienna. After the election of Duke Albrecht II of Austria (Duke of Austria 1404-39, German King 1438-39) as German King in 1438, Vienna once again became the capital, but his tenure was marred by the first large-scale deportation and persecution of the Viennese Jews from 1421 to 1422. The weak Frederick III (King of Germany 1440-1493, Holy Roman Emperor 1452-1493, Archduke of Austria 1457-1493) lost almost all of the Austrian territories, including Vienna, in a war with Hungary's King Hunyati-Margasz.After the annexation of Hungary and Bohemia to the Habsburgs in 1556, Vienna eventually became the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Two Sieges of Vienna and the Glory Days of the Baroque
The first Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1529 saw the Austrians, relying on the walls left over from the medieval period, struggling to fend off the Turks, who were forced to withdraw their troops in the face of a sudden outbreak of epidemics and the early onset of winter. The Turkish siege exposed the weakness of the city's defenses, so from 1548 Vienna decided to transform itself into a fortress consisting of 11 bastions and one trench. This decision later proved to be a wise one, and in 1683, when the Turks laid siege to Vienna for the second time, the remodeled fortress defended the city for two months until the Polish king, Jan Sobieski, came to the aid of his troops, lifting the second siege of Vienna and leading to the beginning of the fall of the Ottoman Empire. After the two sieges by the Turks, Vienna began a glorious era of construction, and continued to display the Baroque art style during the reconstruction, as the nobles built gardens and palaces within the city walls, the most famous of which was Prince Eugen's Belvedere Palace. Belvedere Palace (Belvedere Palace)
After two major depopulations caused by the great pest epidemics of 1679 and 1713, Vienna's population continued to increase, reaching 150,000 in 1724 and surpassing 200,000 in 1790, an era in which the first factories were built and the city's sanitary conditions were improved by the laying of city sewers and street-cleaning systems. Vienna was also one of the first cities to introduce a system of residential marking and a national postal system. The city administration was reformed in 1783 by Joseph II (Archduke of Austria from 1780 to 1790 and Holy Roman Emperor from 1765 to 1790), who introduced a city civil service and also moved the inner city cemetery out of the city. Karl's Cathedral
With the city's rapid growth, Vienna soon became one of Europe's most important cultural centers, with Haydn, Salieri, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert bringing Viennese classicism to its peak.
Vienna under the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary
Vienna was occupied by Napoleon's forces on two separate occasions during the French Revolutionary Wars. The first occurred on November 13, 1805, when the French army entered Vienna unopposed and without difficulty, and the citizens of Vienna even welcomed them curiously. Franz II, who had previously worn the Austrian crown in 1804 in response to Napoleon's claim to the throne, became the first Austrian emperor and began the history of the Austrian Empire. And when Napoleon dissolved the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, Franz II had to remove the crown of the Holy Roman Empire and became the last Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (reigning from 1792 to 1806). In 1809 Napoleon captured Vienna for the second time, but this time he was met with stiff resistance and tasted his first major defeat at the Battle of Aspern soon after he captured the city. Napoleon's final defeat was followed by the Congress of Vienna from September 18, 1814 to June 9, 1815, a diplomatic conference of European powers initiated by the Austrian diplomat Clemens Metternich to realign the political map of Europe after Napoleon's defeat. The February Revolution in France in 1848 also had an impact on Vienna, as did the March Revolution in Germany, which first broke out on March 13, forcing Chancellor Clemens Metternich out of power, and then the October Uprising in Vienna on October 6, which was ultimately suppressed by the Emperor's forces.
The 1873 Vienna World's Fair
Vienna began to expand in 1850 and once again showed its splendor, with the "King of the Round Dance" Johann Strauss Jr. composing Austria's best-known round dance, "The Blue Danube," in 1867, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire was established. This splendor culminated in the 5th World's Fair in Vienna in 1873, which showcased unprecedented architectural design. Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire was entering its endgame, this was also the period when Vienna once again climbed to the pinnacle of culture represented by Viennese Modernism, with the launching of Art Nouveau in the city's architecture, painting highlighting the Expressionism of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, and music with the "Art Nouveau" of Mahler and Lehár, the "Art Nouveau" of Schoenberg, Webern, and Alban Berg's "Second Viennese School", and Sigmund Freud pioneered psychoanalysis.

World War I and the First Austrian **** and State
World War I did not directly affect Vienna, but the protracted war caused a crisis in the supply of food and clothing. The end of the First World War announced the end of six centuries of Habsburg rule and the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and on November 12, 1918 in front of the Parliament of Vienna the German Austrian ****** and State was founded, and in 1919 was renamed the Austrian ****** and State, the First Austrian ****** and State. Almost half of Austria's population lived in Lower Austria, where Vienna was located, and the other six federal states feared being dominated by Lower Austria for a long time, in addition to serious political antagonisms between social-democratic Vienna and the rest of conservative Lower Austria, in 1921 Austria decided to separate Vienna from Lower Austria, and Vienna became in 1922 Austria's a federal state. At the same time, equal elections for men and women were introduced in Vienna in 1919, and since then social democracy has always had an absolute majority in the elections for the city senate, the Landtag and the local councils, which has led to Vienna being called "Red Vienna".

During the period of the Austrian First **** and State, Vienna experienced inflation from 1918 to 1925, the world economic crisis of 1929 and high unemployment. In addition, the conservative Austrian federal government cut Austria's tax support year after year. Hitler came to power in 1933, and in 1938, as chancellor of the German Reich, he marched into and annexed Austria, ending the Austro-Hungarian Empire and establishing the Nazi dictatorship.
Vienna under Nazi rule
One of six large reinforced concrete anti-aircraft batteries built during World War II that still exist in the city. In 1908, at the age of 19, Hitler applied twice to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, but was not accepted and had to make a living doing odd jobs and selling copies of his paintings in Vienna, where he came under the influence of the Pan-Germanic Nationalist Party. Hitler later claimed, "Vienna was and still is the most grueling school of my life. The outlook on the world and the philosophy of life formed there later became a solid foundation for all my actions. It was rarely necessary to learn anything more or to change anything more than the foundations I laid at that time", and this worldview and philosophy of life is "the reason why mankind has become all things, not on the basis of humane principles, but on the basis of the most barbarous struggles alone ... ...If you do not struggle, you will not survive." Hitler's policy of genocide against the Jews led to a resurgence of anti-Semitism that had long been buried in Vienna for centuries in the 20th century, and soon after Germany's advance into Austria, Viennese of the Aryan race began to uncontrollably threaten, torment, and rob Viennese of the Jewish race from their homes.The early morning hours of November 9-10, 1938, became known as "Kristallnacht," began the Nazi organized massacre of Jews, and 92 synagogues in Vienna*** were destroyed, with only one surviving. While defining modern art as "degenerate art" (German: Entartete Kunst), the Nazis propagated Vienna's "German culture", for example in 1941 on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Mozart's death (1791). In 1941, for example, the 150th anniversary of Mozart's death (1791) was celebrated. The name "Austria" disappeared from historical documents, except for the First Austrian Savings Bank, founded in Vienna in 1819, which retained its name at the time. On March 17, 1944, the first Allied air raid on Vienna destroyed one-fifth of the city, and on April 2, 1945, Vienna was declared a Nazi defense zone, and women and children were asked to leave the city, which meant that the war had reached a feverish pitch, with the Soviet army only a few kilometers away. The Battle of Vienna lasted eight days and 40,000 people lost their lives. Vienna's Stefan's Cathedral was undamaged by the air raids and the war, but went up in flames during a sacking.
Allied occupation and Austria's second **** and state

Austria was not fully independent until May 15, 1955, when the Austrian State Treaty was signed and the Allied forces withdrew. Like other cities in Austria and Western Europe, Vienna experienced economic recovery and urban renewal with the help of the Marshall Plan after World War II.
The October Events in Hungary to the present
Vienna received many Hungarians after the October Events in Hungary in 1956, when a large number of Hungarians fled to the West after a failed uprising against the ****tarian authorities.
