Leopoldstadt
Leopoldstadt (; , "Leopold-Town") is the 2nd municipal District of Vienna () in Austria. There are 103,233 inhabitants (as of 2016-01-01) over . It is situated in the heart of the city and, together with Brigittenau (20th district), forms a large island surrounded by the Danube Canal and, to the north, the Danube. It is named after Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor. Due to its relatively high percentage of Jewish inhabitants (38.5 percent in 1923, i. e., before the Holocaust), Leopoldstadt gained the nickname "Mazzesinsel" ("Matzo Island"). This context was a significant aspect for the district twinning with the New York City borough Brooklyn in 2007.
