Floridsdorf

Floridsdorf is the 21st district of Vienna, Austria (German: 21. Bezirk, Floridsdorf). Floridsdorf is located in the northern part of Vienna. The District Office and the centre of Floridsdorf are located round Am Spitz, at the junction of Prager Straße (Prague Street) and Brünner Straße (Brno Street). Since 2004, Floridsdorf has had its own tower: the Florido Tower. The SCN (Shopping Center Nord) is the biggest shopping centre in Floridsdorf. Parts of Floridsdorf were formerly villages. For example, there are Stammersdorf, Strebersdorf and Leopoldau. Because of this, Floridsdorf is mostly a very rural district, with many taverns selling homegrown wine (Heurige). The first settlers are estimated to have come between 4000 and 2000 B.C....
