About the Event
13 Miles of Freedom
The Danube Island – built between 1972 and 1988 along with the New Danube to protect Vienna from devastating floods – has become an integral part of the city’s identity. Back in 1969, when the project was launched, no one imagined that more than 200,000 people would spend beautiful summer days on this stretch of land, 13 miles long and up to 800 feet wide.

The Wien Museum exhibition explores both the history and present of this extraordinary landscape, which today is one of Vienna’s most important open spaces. The island is used by residents of all ages and backgrounds for countless activities. The exhibition also looks at the long struggle to establish effective flood protection for Vienna, the “wild” uses of the former floodplain that anticipated the island’s later role, and the complex planning and construction of this one-of-a-kind project. It also highlights the ecological and social importance of the island in today’s Vienna, a city that is becoming ever denser and hotter.
