Wiener Neustadt (German pronunciation: [ˈviːnɐ ˈnɔʏʃtat] ⓘ; lit. 'Newtown in the land of Vienna' [i.e. Lower Austria]; Central Bavarian: Weana Neistod, pronounced [ˈvɛɐ̯nɐ ˈnɔɪ̯ʃtɔt]) is a city located south of Vienna, in the state of Lower Austria, in northeast Austria. It is a self-governed city and the seat of the district administration of Wiener Neustadt-Land District.
