!!!Freudenau

Freudenau: The meadowlands in the  Prater in the 2%%sup nd/%  district 
of Vienna have been used for horse racing since the Vienna Horse 
Racing Society built a race track in 1839 ( horse breeding and 
sports). The Imperial box and covered grand-stand were built in 1870 
according to a design by C. v.  Hasenauer. The 2,800 m long racetrack 
was partially destroyed during World War II. The Vienna Racing 
Association and its managing company have been operating the track 
since 1962. The port of Freudenau is an integral part of the  Port of 
Vienna. A Freudenau Danube power plant was built 1992-1998 and has a 
capacity of 172 MW.
