The need for sports and leisure areas in Hietzing and in the western Vienna has been known for decades. In a growing city in particular, it is of great importance to secure areas for health, community and active leisure activities.
End of the logistics project as a starting signal for new perspectives
“The city’s previous decision to attribute the area to a logistics company came across a massive incomprehension from the start. The desire of the population and the obvious need for a local recreation and exercise room for indoor and outdoor sports was simply ignored,” said the district head of Hietzing, Nikolaus Ebert. “The end of the logistics project must be the beginning for a future-oriented planning in the interests of the population. It is now the responsibility of the city to secure and actively secure the area of around 47,000 m² as a sports and leisure area!”
Unique opportunity for climate maths and life worth living in urban development
The area is located on the edge of the local recreation area Biosphere Park Wienerwald, in the immediate vicinity of the Vienna River and Lainzer Tiergarten – a unique opportunity, in the course of the century project “The Wiental of the Climate” To combine nature, movement and relaxation. In addition, the terrain can be connected to the Vienna main bike path network with little effort. With a targeted expansion of local public transport, a climate -friendly and barrier -free connection for young and old could be created.
Ebert appeals to those responsible in the town hall: “We take the opportunity to create a lively place of relaxation, movement and encounter for the people in Hietzing and in the west of Vienna. A sports and leisure area in Auhof would be a milestone for the quality of life of the city.”
