A neighbourhood (Grätzl) in Vienna's 23rd district. Strongest on Green space and Air quality, while Quiet is more of a trade-off.
The U6 ends here, and with it the pace of daily life slows noticeably. Plenty of green surrounds the loose buildings at the city’s edge — a calm place to live. Affordable rents and closeness to nature are the defining advantages; the trip into the centre takes a bit longer.

Where is Siebenhirten?
Siebenhirten is in Vienna's 23rd district (Liesing), postal code 1230.
How safe is Siebenhirten?
Safety in Siebenhirten: Excellent (8.5/10), based on official police crime statistics. A non-binding orientation value for the area, not a statement about any single address.
Is Siebenhirten dangerous?
Short answer: no — Vienna consistently ranks among the safest large cities in the world, and that holds across all 23 districts. Siebenhirten sits at 8.5 out of 10 on the safety dimension (Excellent). One thing worth knowing when reading such figures: crime statistics count offences where they HAPPEN, not where those affected live. Districts with major stations, nightlife and many visitors therefore collect more reports without a residential street a few corners away being any different. Within a district, the gap between a busy hub and a quiet side street is usually larger than the gap between two districts.
How good is public transport in Siebenhirten?
Public transport in Siebenhirten: Excellent (8.5/10) – based on proximity to metro, tram and bus (Wiener Linien).
Is Siebenhirten noisy?
Quiet in Siebenhirten: Average (5.8/10), based on traffic-noise exposure. Part of the area sits along A2 (Südautobahn); a few streets further in it gets noticeably quieter. Right there, traffic drowns out a conversation with the window open (calculated above 75 dB by day). Traffic drops off at night, though it never fully disappears along the loud edge. The busiest named axes nearby, by official annual traffic volume: A2 (Südautobahn) (~155,473/day), Altmannsdorfer Straße (~18,268/day), Triester Straße (~17,782/day).
How hot does Siebenhirten get in summer?
In summer Siebenhirten is rather warm — about the Vienna average. Heat index 55 of 100 (Vienna average 57), modelled. Dense, enclosed building form stores the day's heat and releases it slowly at night; there is little green to cool it. This is a MODELLED index (from building form, density, green space, street trees, water and elevation, checked against the City of Vienna's climate analysis map), not a measured temperature and not a count of hot days. Within one area it varies a lot: a green courtyard and a treeless street a few metres apart are not the same place.
How green is Siebenhirten?
Green space in Siebenhirten: Excellent (9.2/10). Parks and greenery shape everyday life here.
Who is Siebenhirten a good fit for?
Most of all for people who value lots of greenery at the doorstep and clean air. Less ideal if quiet is at the very top of your list — that's the trade-off here.
