Stockerau is a city in the district of Korneuburg in Lower Austria. With 16,783 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2022), it is the largest city in the Weinviertel region.
The name Stockerau is said to derive from the composition Stocker-Au: the Au of the woodcutters. The Stockerauer Au - the river forest between the city and the Danube - is still an important recreational area for the people of Stockerau, even though the construction of the Danube power plant Greifenstein has caused noticeable interventions in the landscape and ecosystem. The area has been under nature protection since 1994.
Stockerau is also called "Lenaustadt" because the poet Nikolaus Lenau often spent time here with his grandparents in his youth.
