Grenzgebiete#

Border Regions (Grenzgebiete): political districts along the national border or in the immediate vicinity thereof, so defined by the OeROK (Oesterreichische Raumordnungskonferenz). They cover about 51 % of the surface area of Austria and are home to about 36 % of the population. Border Regions in Austria are very diverse: in the eastern provinces they are limited to peripheral regions, in the western provinces they also include centrally located areas.
