History
First settled in 4000 B.C., the first mention of Wiener Neudorf was as Nowendorf in the mid-12th century. In 1270 a paper mentioned tolls for traveling from Sollenau and Neudorf. Circa 1500 the 'Feste Neudorf' fortification was destroyed twice by invading Turks. In 1854, Wiener Neudorf became the official name, which stemmed from the postal system development in the early 19th century (Wiener Neudorf gained the letter 'W' to differentiate the name).
Wiener Neudorf industrialisation began in the mid-19th century especially due to the available clay used by the Neudorfer Ziegelwerke of Wienerberger. The Austria Brauerei major brewery was located in Wiener Neudorf as well. By 1900 the telephone network was unified with the neighbouring municipalities and the sewage system had been extended.
Mödling was returned to Lower Austria in 1954.
