Seestadt

A new city area under construction. One of the biggest development areas in Europe, it will accommodate 20.000 inhabitants by 2025. 5,000 are living on the grounds of a former airfield. The modern architecture combines high living quality and state of the art building techniques and some notable buildings like the tallest wooden house with 85 m, which is under construction and some sophisticated green space and an artificial lake suitable for swimming.

Fatty George Jazz Museum
Honouring the jazz musician Fatty George (1927-1985), a small museum about his life and jazz in general was opened in his native village Essling, now part of Vienna. It was installed inside a historic toilet building in a park. The park was renamed Jazzpark and a sculpture depicting jazz (the musical style) was erected in 2005 by Leopold Grausam. On the opposite side of the street one can find another park memorializing another jazz musician, Bill Grah (1928-1996).

Blumengärten Hirschstetten
The Flower Gardens of Hirschstetten are run by the City of Vienna. The Gardening Department fosters their plants, which are then used in public gardens and parks. In the public section, several themed gardens (Chinese, Mexican, etc.) are installed; there is a preserved farm with petting zoo, an educational beehive, some turtles, owls and wild cats. For children, there is a big insect-themed playground available. Between Oct and March, only the orangerie is open for public. In front of the orangerie, there are popular Christmas and Easter markets during the weeks before the respective holidays.

48er-Basar
A shop run by the City's Waste Disposal (Department no. 48, hence the name) which sells stuff thrown to trash, which is still useful and refurbished. Additionally, phased out equipment of the City (school and office furniture, projectors and so on) can be found here. A bargain hunter's and treasure seeker's paradise.
