Dornbirn is the most populous municipality in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg and also the seat of the district administration of Dornbirn. The city is an economic center in the north of Austria's westernmost province and a regional transportation hub. With its 50,360 inhabitants, Dornbirn is the tenth largest city in Austria and the largest without its own statute.

The city's importance developed relatively late at the end of the 19th century with the flourishing of the textile industry, which quickly made Dornbirn the largest municipality between the Alpine Rhine and the Arlberg. Since the decline of the local textile industry in the last quarter of the 20th century, trade, commerce, tourism and a few medium-sized industrial enterprises have dominated the economy of the town, which remains a dominant economic center and by far the largest job location in Vorarlberg. With the Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences established here in the 1990s, Dornbirn is also the most important university location in the state and a center for science and education.
