Ottakring is the 16th district of Vienna and was formed in 1892 from the independent municipalities of Ottakring and Neulerchenfeld. The district in the west of the capital, which was still showing signs of slumming in the post-war period, has experienced an upswing since the turn of the millennium. The parts of the district close to the center benefited from a revitalization of public spaces and the establishment of a lively cultural scene, while the opening of the U3 terminus in Alt-Ottakring provided an important impulse for the outer parts of the district. Today, Ottakring's multiculturalism and growing urbanity are seen as characteristic of the traditional working-class residential and industrial district.
