The
Innere Stadt (
German:
Innere Stadt) is the 1st municipal
District of Vienna (
German:
1. Bezirk). The Innere Stadt is the
Old Town of
Vienna. Until the city boundaries were expanded in 1850, the Innere Stadt was congruent with the city of Vienna. Traditionally it was divided into four quarters, which were designated after important town gates:
- Stubenviertel (northeast),
- Kärntner Viertel (southeast),
- Widmerviertel (southwest),
- Schottenviertel (northwest).
