The centre lies outside mapped flood areas. This overview covers 7 topics from official open data, measured at the centre; values at a specific address can differ. As of: 23 October 2026 · Source: https://www.place-check.com/places/himberg-2325 ## About Himberg ### Himberg (2325): Living Between Vienna’s Southern Edge and the Countryside Himberg lies south of Vienna and offers a combination that appeals to many people looking for a home in the surrounding region: a compact town centre, everyday amenities within easy reach, and an environment that feels less urban than the densely built-up areas of the capital. At the same time, Vienna is close enough for work, shopping and its wide range of leisure activities. Himberg is a place for people who want some distance from the bustle of the city without giving up its opportunities. As of 1 January 2026, Himberg had around 8,400 residents. Its population has grown by approximately 26% since 2011, reflecting the municipality’s appeal as a residential location. The combination of local infrastructure and proximity to Vienna can be particularly attractive to families and working professionals. ### A Town Centre with Everyday Essentials Close By Himberg offers convenient access to many important services. The nearest kindergarten is around 150 metres from the town centre, while the nearest primary and middle schools are each approximately 250 metres away. A doctor’s office is about 100 metres from the centre, and the nearest pharmacy is roughly 50 metres away. The closest supermarket is around 450 metres away. Within a two-kilometre radius, the data records five kindergartens, three schools, five supermarkets and grocery stores, and several restaurants. There are also four doctors’ offices, two pharmacies and ten public transport stops. The selection is more limited than in a larger city, but it covers many everyday needs. For families, this layout can make daily life easier. Childcare, schools and essential services are close together, while the town centre provides a convenient place for errands. Those looking for a particularly broad choice of shops, restaurants or cultural activities will, however, likely travel to nearby towns or Vienna. ### By Train to Vienna One of Himberg’s key advantages is its railway station, located around 350 metres from the town centre. On a typical weekday, public transport to Vienna Central Station takes approximately 45 minutes, including one transfer. St. Pölten can be reached in around 75 minutes, while Bruck an der Leitha takes approximately 70 minutes. For commuters, Himberg can therefore be a practical alternative to living in Vienna itself. The convenience of the daily journey will depend on the specific connections and the location of the workplace. The area is also accessible by car. The nearest motorway or expressway is approximately 3.1 kilometres from the town centre, while the B15 main road is around 1.1 kilometres away. Vienna International Airport is only about ten kilometres away in a straight line, which can be an advantage for frequent travellers. Depending on the exact location, however, proximity to the airport may also be worth considering when choosing a home. ### A Growing Community with a Rural Feel Himberg has developed into a municipality where established local structures meet growing demand for housing. Despite its population growth, the town centre remains relatively compact, and everyday life can feel more locally oriented than in Vienna’s larger urban districts. The surrounding landscape also offers opportunities for walks and outdoor activities. For those who enjoy getting outside after work or spending weekends away from densely built-up streets, the area provides room to slow down. ### Climate, Noise and Residential Conditions Between 2015 and 2024, the average annual temperature around the town centre was approximately 12.4°C, compared with 11.3°C during the 1991–2020 reference period. The area experienced an average of 33 hot days per year. When looking for a property, it is therefore worth paying attention to shading and protection against summer heat. One positive finding is that the town centre lies outside the noise zones identified in the 2022 strategic maps for major roads, railway lines, airports and industrial sources. This does not guarantee complete quiet at every address, however. The available flood hazard maps also show that the town centre is not within a designated HQ100 or HQ300 flood zone. Himberg is particularly suited to people seeking a manageable residential community with convenient rail connections and easy access to Vienna. Its appeal lies in the combination of short everyday journeys, an established local community and the ability to reach the capital when needed. ## Location of Himberg Himberg is a municipality in the district of Bruck an der Leitha, Niederösterreich (postcode 2325, municipality code 30732).
