The newest Plan and Guide of Vienna and Environs

"Vienna, the capital of the Empire and residence of the Emperor, is situated in a plain, bounded by branches of the Bohemian and Moravian border-mountains, the Lesser Carpathian and Leitha mountains and the hills of the Wiener Wald which decline gently towards the city. A canal or arm of the Danube, to which the Alserbach and the little river "Wien" are tributaries, passes through the City.§The municipal territory of the city comprises an area of 5540, and with the suburbs, to an extent of 70 Kilometers 14.940 hectares. upon which 23097 houses are built, 12.522 of which are in the City. According to the census of the 31. December 1880, the population of the city amounted to 725.658, that of the suburbs to 373.888 persons, in total a population of l,099.546 persons, including a garrison of 20.900 soldiers. The first district (Bezirk), the Interior City (innere Stadt) lies in the centre, the others are grouped around it from the left to the right, so that the Leopoldstadt forms the II., the Landstrasse the III., the Wieden the IV., Margarethen the V., Mariahilf the VI., Neubau the VII., Josefstadt the VIII, Alsergrund the IX., and Favoriten the X. district. These ten districts, which comprise the territory formerly divided into the "Interior City and 34 Suburbs", are likely at no very distant period of time to increase to double the number when the suburban districts lying on the outskirts will be included in the total area of Vienna. The 18 suburban districts which are at present still divided from the town districts by the moats at the lines, are Sechshaus, Fünfhaus, Rudolfsheim, Hietzing, Ober- and Unter-Meidling, Hernals, Ottakring, Neulerchenfeld, Währing, Ober- and Unter-Döbling, Heiligenstadt, Weinbaus, Simmering, Gaudenzdorf and Wilhelrnsdorf."
