Schwechat is a municipality with 20,763 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2022) southeast of Vienna, on the river Schwechat. The town is known for the Vienna International Airport, the largest oil refinery in Austria owned by OMV, and the Schwechat Brewery's "Schwechater Bier", which is a common brand. The municipality is located in the Lower Austrian district of Bruck an der Leitha, but the vehicle registration is under "SW" and not under "BL" as in all other municipalities of the district.
