19. Wiener Gemeindebezirk Wien Döbling

Döbling is the 19th district of Vienna and is located in the northwest of Vienna on the edge of the Vienna Woods. The district was formed in 1892 from the former Viennese suburbs of Unterdöbling, Oberdöbling, Grinzing, Heiligenstadt, Nussdorf, Josefsdorf, Sievering and the Kahlenbergerdorf. In 1938, the district was expanded to include Neustift am Walde and Salmannsdorf, which previously belonged to the district of Währing. Since then, a small part of Pötzleinsdorf has also belonged to Döbling, colloquially known as Glanzing. Today, Döbling, with its Wienerwald villas similar to Währing and Hietzing, is considered a noble district and has a significant wine-growing area. However, thanks to numerous municipal buildings such as the Karl-Marx-Hof or cooperative housing complexes, the population structure is more balanced than often assumed.

The most important tourist attraction of Döbling is the Kahlenberg on the edge of the Vienna Woods. However, the former hotel with its famous panoramic terrace has now given way to a new building. Many, especially Polish, tourists also visit the St. Joseph's Church or the Stefaniewarte at the Kahlenberg. Other mountains worth seeing in Döbling are the neighboring Leopoldsberg with St. Leopold's Church and the highest mountain in Vienna, the Hermannskogel with the Habsburgwarte. However, among the people of Döbling and Vienna, the Cobenzl and the area Am Himmel with the so-called "Celtic" tree circle and the Sisi Chapel also have some importance. Accessible is the area of the Döblinger Wienerwald through the well-known Wiener Höhenstraße.
