The areas Breitenfurt bei Wien, Laab im Walde, Purkersdorf, Perchtoldsdorf, Vösendorf, and Kaltenleutgeben returned to Lower Austria.

Liesing lies in the southwest of Vienna and borders Lower Austria along with the districts Favoriten, Meidling, und Hietzing.

The steep slopes and bare rocks of the Northern Chalk Alps (Kalksteinwienerwald) are found in the southwest of the district and stretch north as far as the Dorother Wald and, in the east, reach as far as Antonshöhe hill.

The Anhöhe of the Leopoldsdorfer Wald consists of Hauptdolomit, a type of rock formation that stretches in the direction of Kalksburg as far as the Himmelwiese.

In the chalk region can be found the Antonshöhe, where radiolarit for flint cutting edges was mined in the Late Stone Age.

North of the Kaltenleutgebner Straße along the edge of the valley can be found quarries delivering chalk, mergel, sandstone etc.

The "Reiche Liesing" flows from the west through Kalksburg, where it is joined by Gütenbach, which drains part of the Lainzer Tiergarten.

In the northern part of the district, the ponds, alte Ziegelteiche, Figurenteich and Steinsee (the latter not accessible to the public) can all be found along the Liesing.

In the east is Inzersdorf, where the large industrially and commercially used areas as well as the fruit and vegetable market are found.

To the west of Inzersdorf is Erlaa, which today is best known for the large residential apartment complex Wohnpark Alt-Erlaa located north of the old centre of the village.

In addition to the old centre with its town hall (Bezirksamt) and bus & rail connecting point, the eastern part of Liesing is also used for commercial purposes.

In the northwest of the district, is the village of Mauer, with low-density housing, vineyards, and the largest share of the Vienna Woods.

South of Mauer are Rodaun and Kalksburg, both of which are extensively green and retain largely intact village structures.

Kadolt the Elder from around Eckartsau, in the 14th century, had formed a certain political unity with the places Erlaa, Kalksburg, Mauer and Rodaun.

[3] Also the parish Atzgersdorf played a role, up to the Josephine reforms, as a regional religious centre of power for surrounding villages.

From there, the Catholic residents of Altmannsdorf, Erlaa, Hetzendorf, Liesing, Mauer, Siebenhirten and partly Kalksburg, while having their own church buildings, did not have their own parishes.

At the first free votes after World War II the SPÖ reached 55.3% and the absolute majority the ÖVP 31.7% and the KPÖ remarkable 13%.
