Nestled in the northeastern part of Salzburg, Langwied awaits. It’s a blend of modern life and echoes of a simpler past. Langwied became part of Salzburg in 1939. Before that, it belonged to the municipality of Hallwang. The name “Langwied” itself hints at this history. “Wied” refers to a wooded area, reflecting the area’s origins. Langwied expanded significantly between the 1960s and 1980s. A charming neighborhood known as the “Vogerlsiedlung” (Bird Settlement) emerged. Its streets bear names like Nightingale, Siskin, Oriole, and Finch. A bustling commercial zone grew between Langwied and the neighboring Mayrwies. Today, these areas are almost seamlessly connected. The arrival of the Rudolf Steiner School in 1994 brought a new energy to Langwied. Another key development was the establishment of the St. Severin parish in 2006. The modern church incorporates an old factory hall, blending the past and present. Langwied is easily accessible by public transport. Trolleybus lines 4 and 10 and bus line 23 connect the area to the city center. Regional bus lines also stop here, providing links to surrounding towns.
