Breitenlee

In the following years, the village was repeatedly attacked by the Kuruc, Hungarian anti-Habsburg insurgents, and the plague ravaged the area in 1713.

During the Battle of Aspern-Essling against Napoleon in 1809, the Austrian Grenadier Reserve stood near Breitenlee and helped secure the victory under Archduke Charles.

The Norbert Scheed Forest, named after the former district mayor of Donaustadt, runs through the north of the town.
