Meidling (German pronunciation: [ˈmaɪtlɪŋ] ) is the 12th district of Vienna (German: 12. Bezirk, Meidling). It is located just southwest of the central districts, south of the River Wien, west of the Gürtel belt, and east and southeast of Schönbrunn Palace.[2] Meidling is a heavily populated urban area with many residential buildings, but also large recreational areas and parks. [1][2] In sports, it is represented by the FC Dynamo Meidling. Former Chancellor of Austria Sebastian Kurz was born and raised in Meidling and his private residence is there.
