Klosterneuburg (:ˈkloːstɐnɔɪ̯bɛʁk) is a town in Wien-Umgebung District, in the Austrian state of Lower Austria. It is the state's third largest town with a population of about 26,000. The Klosterneuburg Monastery, which was established in 1114 and soon after given to the Augustinians, is of particular historical importance. ==Geography== It is located on the Danube River, immediately north of the Austrian capital Vienna, from which it is separated by the Kahlenberg and Leopoldsberg hills of the Vienna Woods range. It has been separated from its twin city of Korneuburg on the left bank of the Danube since the river changed its course during the Late Middle Ages. Both towns are connected by a reaction ferry link. The municipal area comprises the northern tip of the Donauinsel as well as the high Mt. Exelberg with its telecommunication tower. As the site of a pioneer school of the Austrian Bundesheer, Klosterneuburg has various military buildings and stores. It is also the centre of a wine growing area, with several esteemed vintners, numerous ''Heuriger'' taverns, and the Federal Institute for Viticulture and Pomology, where the Zweigelt and Blauburger red wine grapes were bred by Fritz Zweigelt. Due to its hilly location, Klosterneuburg has several geographical areas within the cadastral communities of Klosterneuburg-Stadt, Gugging, Höfling an der Donau, Kierling, Kritizing, Weidling, and Weidlingbach. Its town centre has two main shopping areas, the Niedermarkt and the Rathausplatz, separated by a steep hill. The town is tightly linked to the Austrian caital and houses some of the most affluent citizens of Lower Austria. It has direct access to the Vienna city centre via the ''Klosterneuburger Straße'' highway (B14), by the Vienna S-Bahn network on the Emperor Franz Joseph Railway line (S40) from Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof to Tulln, and along the EV6 The Rivers cycling route. The town is the site of light industry and, whilst not belonging to Vienna, has almost the feel of a suburb. The well-known Essl Museum of contemporary art and the Institute of Science and Technology Austria established in 2006 are located in the town. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Klosterneuburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
