Vienna is Austria's primary city, with a population of about 1.8 million〔 (2.6 million within the metropolitan area,〔 nearly one third of Austria's population), and its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union. Until the beginning of the 20th century it was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I the city had 2 million inhabitants.〔("Vienna after the war" ), ''The New York Times'', 29 December 1918 (PDF)〕 Today it has the second largest number of German speakers after Berlin.〔(Wien nun zweitgrößte deutschsprachige Stadt | touch.ots.at )〕 Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations and OPEC. The city lies in the east of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Historic Centre of Vienna )〕 Apart from being regarded as the ''City of Music''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vienna – the City of Music – VIENNA – NOW OR NEVER )〕 because of its musical legacy, Vienna is also said to be "The City of Dreams" because it was home to the world's first psycho-analyst – Sigmund Freud.〔BBC Documentary – Vienna – The City of Dreams〕 The city's roots lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is well known for having played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic centre of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque castles and gardens, and the late-19th-century Ringstrasse lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Historic Centre of Vienna )〕 Vienna is known for its quality of life. In a 2005 study of 127 world cities, the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked the city first (in a tie with Vancouver, Canada and San Francisco, USA) for the world's most livable cities. Between 2011 and 2015, Vienna was ranked second, behind Melbourne, Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The world's most 'liveable' cities 2015 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The world's most 'liveable' cities 2014 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The world's most liveable cities 2013 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The world's most 'liveable' cities 2012 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The world's most 'liveable' cities 2011 )〕 For seven consecutive years (2009–2015), the human-resource-consulting firm Mercer ranked Vienna first in its annual "Quality of Living" survey of hundreds of cities around the world, a title the city still holds in 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2014 Quality of Living survey )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://web.resourceshelf.com/go/resourceblog/58958 )〕 Monocle's 2015 "Quality of Life Survey" ranked Vienna second on a list of the top 25 cities in the world "to make a base within" 〔Monocle's 2012 "Quality of Life Survey" ranked Vienna fourth on a list of the top 25 cities in the world "to make a base within" (up from sixth in 2011 and eighth in 2010).〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.monocle.com/sections/affairs/Web-Articles/The-Monocle-Quality-of-Life-Survey-2012/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.businessinsider.com/monocle-quality-of-life-2011-6?op=1 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.monocle.com/sections/affairs/Web-Articles/Most-liveable-city-Helsinki/ )〕 The UN-Habitat has classified Vienna as being the most prosperous city in the world in 2012/2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=State of the World’s Cities 2012/2013 )〕 The city was ranked 1st globally for its culture of innovation in 2007 and 2008, and sixth globally (out of 256 cities) in the 2014 Innovation Cities Index, which analyzed 162 indicators in covering three areas: culture, infrastructure, and markets. Vienna regularly hosts urban planning conferences and is often used as a case study by urban planners. Between 2005 and 2010, Vienna was the world's number-one destination for international congresses and conventions. It attracts over 3.7 million tourists a year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top 100 Cities Destination Ranking – Analyst Insight from Euromonitor International )〕 == Name == The English name ''Vienna'' is borrowed from the Italian name ''Vienna''. "Vienna" and the official German name ''Wien'', and the names of the city in most languages, are thought to derive from the Celtic word ''windo-'', meaning "bright" or "fair" – as in the Irish "fionn" and the Welsh "gwyn" – but opinions vary on the precise origin. Some claim that the name comes from ''Vedunia'', meaning "forest stream", which subsequently became ''Venia'', ''Wienne'' and ''Wien''. Others claim that the name comes from the Roman settlement of Celtic name ''Vindobona'' (Celtic "windo-bona"), probably meaning "white base/bottom ()", which became ''Vindovina'', ''Vídeň'' (Czech) and ''Wien''. The name of the city in Hungarian (''Bécs''), Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian (''Beč'') and Ottoman Turkish (''Beç'') appears to have a different, Slavonic origin, and originally referred to an Avar fort in the area.〔 〕 Slovene-speakers call the city ''Dunaj'', which in other Central European Slavic languages means the Danube River, on which the city stands. 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「Vienna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
