Oberlaa (10th), a street village that emerged from a row village with Anger-like buildings and a series of three-sided and zwerch courtyards (in contrast to Unterlaa, a street village that developed from a row of banks).
Laa (originally Lo, Loch, Lach), which can be proven as early as 1140 in the Salbuch of the Klosterneuburg monastery, is also mentioned in 1267 in the donor letter from Pastor Gerhard as a branch church. The oldest documented mention of Oberlaa was in 1324; 1367 a pastor Chunrad von Oberlaa is mentioned. Laa suffered greatly during the two Turkish years (1529, 1683) and under the French occupation (1809), and the town was also hit by the plague (1633, 1679, 1713), by cholera (1832) and by the dysentery (1836). haunted.
The offer made by the municipalities of Oberlaa and Unterlaa to the Viennese city administration in 1869 to make area available in their municipal area for the planned central cemetery (today in the 11th district) was rejected by the Viennese municipal council because of the poor transport connections. The major floods only came to an end after the Liesingbach was regulated (1954).
In 1890/1892 the parts of Oberlaa and Unterlaa to the north of the Donaulände railway were incorporated into the 10th district. In 1938, in the course of the construction of Greater Vienna, the districts south of the railway became part of the newly created 23rd district (Schwechat). In 1954 these parts were also assigned to the 10th district.
