Groß-Enzersdorf

Groß-Enzersdorf in the district of Gänserndorf is located just 18 kilometers from the city center of Vienna - and borders the Lobau floodplain nature reserve. The municipality includes the nine villages of Franzensdorf, Groß-Enzersdorf, Matzneusiedl, Mühlleiten, Oberhausen, Probstdorf, Rutzendorf, Schönau an der Donau and Wittau.

The founding history of today's Groß-Enzersdorf sounds exciting: the village was built in 870 on what was then an island on the Danube - as a farmstead belonging to a private family. Over the centuries that followed, the village was repeatedly battered by fate - through war and sieges, fires, wolves and a plague epidemic.

Today, Groß-Enzersdorf presents itself as a livable community not far from Vienna - with rural charm and an old town worth seeing. The surrounding floodplain landscape is an ideal recreational area for the whole family.
