Wiener Neustadt (German pronunciation: [ˈviːnɐ ˈnɔʏʃtat] ^ⓘ; lit. 'Newtown in the land of Vienna' [i.e. Lower Austria]; Central Bavarian: Weana Neistod, pronounced [ˈvɛɐ̯nɐ ˈnɔɪ̯ʃtɔt]) is a city located south of Vienna, in the state of Lower Austria, in northeast Austria. It is a self-governed city and the seat of the district administration of Wiener Neustadt-Land District. The city is the site of one of the world's oldest military academies, the Theresian Military Academy, which was established by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria in 1751 to train officers for the Austrian army.
