'''Great-Vienna''' () was the name given to an enlarged version of [[Vienna]]. First attempts at the creation of Great-Vienna already existed in the times of the [[Habsburg monarchy]]. After the ''[[Anschluss]]'' of [[Austrian Federal State|Austria]] into [[Nazi Germany]] in 1938, Vienna was expanded to "the largest city of the Reich by area".

Nowadays the term "Great-Vienna" is mainly used to distinguish Vienna, which was enlarged during the Nazi era, from the present-day city. In 1954, during the [[Allied-occupied Austria|Allied-occupation of Austria]] the extensions were majorly reverted.
