!!!Kaisermühlen

Kaisermuehlen, part of Vienna´s 22%%sup nd/%  district (until 
1938 part of the 2%%sup nd/%  district), situated between the Danube 
(along the Hubertusdamm and Kaisermuehlendamm) and the old Danube. 
First documented mention as "Hof- und Kaisermuehlen" in 1674; name 
goes back to the former imperial shipmills situated on one branch of 
the Danube. Originally it was a settlement of mill owners and tenants, 
raftsmen, bargees and fishermen in the riverside meadowlands. The 
regulation of the Danube (beginning in 1875) caused a sharp rise in 
economic building activity, and council estates like the Goethehof 
were built; Kaisermuehlen has bathing beaches  Gaensehaeufel) and 
water sport facilities on the Old Danube; the Donaupark and the Vienna 
International Centre (1979) are also in Kaisermuehlen.
