The Danube city was only in 1954 from the 1938 from Floridsdorf (21st district) separated communities Stadlau, Kagran, Hirschstetten, Aspern and Lobau, the former Lower Austrian municipalities Süßenbrunn, Breitenlee and Essling, as well as the from the 2nd district separated Kaisermuehlen formed. Another 15 Marchfeld townships, which in 1938 during the formation of the 22nd district "Grossenzersdorf" also came to Vienna were again returned to Lower Austria in the same year. The district, which initially after 1945 was listening to the name of Stadlau, was now called Danube city (Donaustadt).
Today's 22nd district is geographically by far the largest district with 102.34 km2 and was for a long time also the least populated; in the last decades as a result of intensive urbanization (residential buildings of the Municipality of Vienna in Aspern, Hirschstetten, Kagran and Kaisermühlen) rapidly rising population numbers have been recorded (1951: 53,000; 2002: 136,000 inhabitants). However, there are still areas predominantly used for agricultural purposes.
In the modern Danube City are situated the 1964 at the Vienna International Garden Show laid out Danube Park with the 252 m high Danube Tower, the in 1975 opened Danube center, Vienna's biggest shopping center, the UNO-City (1979) and the Austria Center (1987), the Social Medical Center East (1984), the OMV, the Opel Austria (on the site of the former airfield Aspern) and the Danube power plant Freudenau (1998). By covering over of the Danube bank highway and the construction of office and residential towers, currently arises an entirely new urban center in the Danube city.
The Danube city with the at the beginning of the 20th century arosen beach area at the Old Danube and the Danube Island also has some of the most popular leisure and recreation centers of Vienna.

The Lobau, in which the Danube city also has its share, in 1977 was elevated into the rank of a nature-sanctuary and in 1996, into the rank of National Park "Danube Floodplains".
Large parts of today's Danube city in the First Republic still belonged to Floridsdorf; the early history of the social democratic movement of the Danube city therefore with that of the 21 district is largely identical.

In February 1934 also in the Danube city it came to fierce fightings. The headquarters of the Republican Defense League (Schutzbund) of Kagran was located in Komzak alley/Mälzel square (memorial plaque). Actually, Kagran was the only area where even aircrafts of the Heimwehr (right-wing para-military organization) were used. Hard-fought was also the Goethe court where in memory of February 1934 on 10 Febraury 1983 also a commemorative plaque was unveiled; another memorial plaque at the subway station Kagran center remembers the fallen tram workers of 15th February.
In many large companies, most of all in the transport companies, the gas and electric plants, but also in the fire service, the railways, the post office and the police, there were from 1934 to 1945 anti-fascist resistance groups. In the Danube Park a memorial plaque remembers that on the military firing range Kagran (in present-day park area) on October 31, 1944 the two firefighters Hermann Plackholm and Johann Zak were executed before the eyes of 600 of their colleagues. Two lanes in the Danube city were named after the two men.
In the Wurmbrand alley 12 a memorial plaque remembers the machinist Franz Stelzel who lived in this house; he also was a member of a resistance group, was arrested in 1941 and beheaded on November 10, 1942 in the Provincial Court (Landesgericht).
On May 2, 1945, the district organization was re-established in Aspern. First head of district of the 22nd district became Leopold Horacek (1946-1959), after which a residential complex is named in the Lenk alley 1-3. 1947 moved the district organization into the former Kagraner school, Donaufelder street 259.
Yet in the fifties and sixties, emerged thousands of new apartments in the hitherto sparsely populated Danube City.
1972 finally on the Racecourse grounds one of the largest municipal construction projects was tackled - the 1977 populated residential complex Rennbahnweg with 2,440 dwellings; a little later emerged the Dr. Josef Bohmann court south of Aderklaaer street with 1,600 apartments.
In parallel, also in infrastructure was invested. As early as 1978, the leading to Stadlau Südosttangente could be opened to traffic, since September 1982, the U1 runs to the center Kagran, and 1985, followed the ground-breaking ceremony for the hospital SMZ-Ost.
The Danube city today is the district of Vienna which by far continues to grow the strongest. In the municipal housing policy, however, towards the end of the eighties it came to renunciation from the large buildings of the former decades, which as an urban experiment by many are considered as failed.

An excellent example for a modern continuation of tradition of dwelling is the in 1990 completed residential complex in the Stundl alley.

Salt pan workers near the temple of Jogninar, Vill. Sanghad, Kachchh. Their bright colored dresses stand out in the white snow and sandy land.
It was winter, and still it was difficult for us to stand out under the hot sun, when those workers carried out their daily routine activities.

Coney Island
I saw this McDonald's a day or two after Hurricane Sandy, when I was in the neighborhood documenting the aftermath of the storm: there were lights on inside and workers beginning to sort through the wreckage. Nine months later, and it's still closed to the public.
