Vindobona:
The Settlers preferred the area around the Wienerwald, the Leopoldsberg, the Bisamberg and the Wilhelminenberg. With
the
immigration
of indo-german
farmers
Kahlenberg,
Simonsberg, Michaelerberg, Satzberg, Gemeindeberg
and Rosenberg were also colonised.
The
bronze-age inhabitants preferred the Danube-near areas as their living space. With the
incoming of the Illyrer in the later ferrous-age
the light settled areas expanded. In the th
Century before Christ the Celtics
built fortifications,
for example
on
the Leopoldsberg.
Around Jesus' birth The Romans built the military camp Vindobona
in a place, that was very
important for their strategy. It was bordered by the Ottakringer river in the north-west, by the
Danube in the north and by a moat along the Rotenturmstra e in the east. In the st Century
000 to 20 000 people lived in Vindobona. Emperor Probus subvented the cultivation of wine in the 3rd Century. The east of the Province Noricum went to the Huns and the invasive Vandals in
433.
East and
Westgothics plundered and
destroyed
the villages.
After the retirement of the Romans the population decreased.
