Groß-Enzersdorf is located in the Weinviertel region of Lower Austria, directly on the city limits of Vienna. The town has a long history, strikingly reflected in its almost completely preserved late medieval city wall that encircles the historical core. Geographically, it serves as the 'gateway to the Marchfeld' and is a key starting point for exploring the Donau-Auen National Park, one of Central Europe's last remaining large, untouched floodplain landscapes. The parish church of Maria Schutz is another significant building, testifying to the town's religious importance. Economically, Groß-Enzersdorf benefits from its position as a link between Vienna and the agricultural Marchfeld region, with many commercial businesses established here in recent years.
