Cities of Austria: Wiener Neustadt
50 km south of Vienna lies an industrial city Wiener Neustadt (Wiener Neustadt), strongly affected by the bombing of the Second World War (almost 88% of his buildings were destroyed). However, the ancient walls erected by Babenberg in 1194, when he founded the fortress at the Hungarian border, survived and serve as a bright reminder of the city of the period of his heyday (in the XV century he was the main residence of Habsburgs).
