Districts Of Vienna
The districts of Vienna (German: ''Wiener Gemeindebezirke'') are the 23 named city sections of Vienna, Austria, which are numbered for easy reference. They were created from 1850 onwards, when the city area was enlarged by the inclusion of surrounding communities. Although they fill a similar role, Vienna's municipal districts are not administrative districts (''Bezirke'') as defined by the federal constitution; Vienna is a statutory city and as such is a single administrative district in its entirety. The seats of ''Bezirksvorsteher'' (political district head) and ''Bezirksvertretung'' (district assembly) are located in the respective districts, with the exception of the 14th district, whose political representatives reside in the 13th district (to which much of the 14th had belonged until 1938). The ''Magistratisches Bezirksamt'' (district office of the city administration, not headed by the political district head) in four locations combines services for two districts: :* for th ...
