Wieden (German pronunciation: [ˈviːdn̩] ; Viennese: Wiedn) is the 4th municipal district of Vienna, Austria (German: 4. Bezirk). It is near the centre of Vienna and was established as a district in 1850, but its borders were changed later.[2] Wieden is a small region near the city centre.[2] After World War II, Wieden was part of the Soviet sector of Vienna for 10 years.
