!!!Altstadt

Altstadt ("old town"), oldest part of a town or city now often called 
"Kernstadt" (core or centre of town). Old towns in Austria often arose 
in the Middle Ages on the basis of models from Antiquity, they were 
fortified and generally not expanded until the middle of the 19th 
century. In some cities (e.g. Vienna) suburbs had already appeared by 
the modern era, but many towns and cities did not spread out until 
industrialisation or the allocation of new central functions in the 
19th century.
