Stadlau (Austrian German pronunciation: [ʃtadˈlaʊ] ⓘ) is a neighbourhood in Vienna, Austria, within Donaustadt, the 22nd district of Vienna. It has a population of 16.152 and covers 4.99 km2.[1]

History

Stadlau between the New Danube and the Mühlwasser, 1935

Stadlau was first recorded in 1150 as "Stadelouve," meaning "barn in the floodplain." Originally a fief of the Babenbergs, it was home to wealthy farmers who controlled the fertile land between the Danube and the Prater. Its strategic location in the Marchfeld made it an important crossing point, with a ferry connecting it to the city. In 1160, a parish church was built to serve the surrounding villages. However, a devastating flood in 1438 destroyed much of the settlement.

By around 1820, Stadlau had developed into a small linear village with just 10 to 15 houses. The Danube regulation of the 1870s transformed the landscape, drying up nearby tributaries. The opening of Stadlau railway station in 1870 marked the beginning of industrial growth, and a cemetery was established in 1875.

In 1904, Stadlau was incorporated into Vienna as a part of the newly created 21st district, Floridsdorf. A new church, completed in 1924, became an independent parish in 1940. Following Austria’s annexation by Nazi Germany in 1938, Stadlau was absorbed into the expanded 22nd district, Groß-Enzersdorf. In 1954, the district was reorganized, establishing its present-day borders and adopting the name Donaustadt.
