As of: 23 October 2026 · Source: https://www.place-check.com/places/grosshoeflein-7051 ## About Großhöflein ### Großhöflein (7051): Village Life Among the Vineyards of Burgenland Just west of Eisenstadt, Großhöflein offers a quieter alternative to urban living, with the landscape and traditions of Burgenland shaping everyday life. Surrounded by vineyards and open countryside, the village combines a rural atmosphere with convenient access to the regional capital and the wider Vienna area. It is a place where life tends to move at a gentler pace, while essential connections remain close at hand. As of 1 January 2026, Großhöflein had around 2,080 residents, representing population growth of approximately 7.7% since 2011. The community remains relatively small, with an established village character rather than the scale of a growing suburb. Around 22% of residents are aged 65 or older, while children under 15 account for about 13% of the population, reflecting a community with a substantial older generation. ### Everyday Life in a Small Community Großhöflein provides a modest selection of everyday amenities, with additional options available in nearby Eisenstadt and surrounding communities. Within two kilometres of the village centre, the data records two kindergartens, two schools, three supermarkets and grocery stores, eight restaurants and three cafés. There is also a doctor's office and 14 public transport stops within the same radius. Distances vary depending on the service. The nearest primary school is around 250 metres from the centre, while the closest supermarket is approximately 900 metres away. The nearest kindergarten and doctor's office are each around 1.5 kilometres away, and the nearest middle school is about 2.5 kilometres away. This means some daily needs can be handled locally, although households may need to travel for certain services. For families, commuters and older residents, the practical experience will depend partly on their exact location and whether they rely on a car or public transport. ### Close to Eisenstadt, Connected to the Region Eisenstadt is one of Großhöflein's biggest advantages. On a typical weekday, public transport from the village centre to Eisenstadt railway station takes around 20 minutes, including one transfer. Reaching Vienna Central Station takes approximately 65 minutes with two transfers. The nearest railway stop, in Müllendorf, is around 1.6 kilometres from the village centre. For drivers, the A3 motorway runs approximately 1.1 kilometres away, and the Eisenstadt motorway interchange is around 1.8 kilometres from the centre. This provides useful access to the surrounding region, although the B59 main road passes directly through the village and may bring traffic to some streets. Vienna International Airport is about 31 kilometres away in a straight line, making air travel reasonably accessible by regional standards. ### Vineyard Landscapes and a Rural Rhythm Großhöflein's setting is part of its appeal. The vineyards and open countryside around the village give the area a distinctly Burgenland character, offering a different atmosphere from the denser residential districts around Vienna. The surrounding landscape lends itself to walks, cycling and time outdoors, while the local community provides a more intimate setting than a larger town. The village's size can be an advantage for people who value a quieter environment and a stronger sense of place. At the same time, those who want extensive shopping, cultural events or a broad range of services will likely look to Eisenstadt. ### Climate, Noise and Residential Considerations The average annual temperature around the village centre was approximately 11.9°C between 2015 and 2024, compared with 10.8°C during the 1991–2020 reference period. The area recorded around 29 hot days per year, so summer shading and indoor heat protection are worth considering when choosing a property. The village centre lies outside the noise zones identified in the 2022 strategic maps for major roads, railway lines, airports and industrial sources. These maps cover only major transport routes, however, and cannot guarantee quiet at every address. The centre is also outside the flood areas identified in the available HQ100 and HQ300 hazard maps. Großhöflein is a good fit for people who value vineyard scenery, a small-community atmosphere and convenient access to Eisenstadt, while accepting that some services and activities require a journey beyond the village. ## Location of Großhöflein Großhöflein is a municipality in the district of Eisenstadt-Umgebung, Burgenland (postcode 7051, municipality code 10303).
