The construction of the castle Schoenbrunn, which was built on the site of the destroyed 1683 Katterburg, eventually led to the great boom of the former village Hietzing.

The proximity of the Imperial Court brought with it strong construction activity, but it was yet to create quarters for aristocrats and officials.

The rapid increase in the number of houses, in the late 18th and early 19th century, changed the structure of the place.

This influx increased the earnings potential of the villagers and shapes the image of Hietzing to the present day.

The highest proportion of foreigners in 2005 represented approximately 2.1% share of the district population of nationals from Germany.

The role as majority-party and thereby the claim to the district director has long been disputed between the SPÖ and ÖVP political parties: the traditional, conservative-oriented residential neighborhoods, versus the "public housing" complexes and the large nursing home Lainz, both with a predominantly social democratic electorate.
