A neighbourhood (Grätzl) in Vienna's 23rd district. Strongest on Green space and Air quality, while Quiet is more of a trade-off.
In short: Siebenhirten, a neighbourhood in Liesing (23rd district), has a Living Score of 89 out of 100 (Vienna Living Map, as of November 2026). Strongest: Green space 9.2 and Air quality 9.2 out of 10, weakest Quiet 5.8. District asking rent: about €17/m² (median, carried forward).
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.
Low, village-like building.
The six dimensions
Light & built form
Siebenhirten is low and openly built — plenty of free sky above the rooftops. The slope holds back the low morning sun. Measured at the Grätzl centre: about 12.3 hours of direct sun on the longest day, about 2.6 in December. How bright a single flat is comes down to floor, orientation and courtyard vs. street side — the measurement is for the Grätzl centre.

The roofs above Siebenhirten
Within 450 m of the centre, buildings carry around 11 hectares of roof that would be greenable by pitch — 70.7 % of the roof area there, calculated from the City of Vienna’s official roof model. On that area roughly 20,100 m³ of rain a year would stay up top instead of entering the sewer, by the model. The modelled heat index here is 47 out of 100.
The radius is a fixed reference area, not a neighbourhood boundary, and the circles of adjacent neighbourhoods overlap — so these figures cannot be added up. Whether any of these roofs is already green is unknown to a geometry model; whether it carries the build-up is for a structural engineer to say. Geometry as of 2016. All districts compared →

Where is Siebenhirten?

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 Ketzergasse; a few streets further in it gets noticeably quieter. Right there you raise your voice to talk, and a phone call on the pavement gets tiring (calculated above 70 dB by day). At night it calms down noticeably — the level drops below the threshold at which mapping begins.
How hot does Siebenhirten get in summer?
In summer Siebenhirten is moderate — cooler than the Vienna average. Heat index 47 of 100 (Vienna average 56), modelled. Green cover, trees and open, low building form let the night cool down. 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.

It says nothing about which of those roofs is already green, and nothing about statics.
