History

After the "Anschluss" of Austria to the Third Reich the place was integrated into "Groß-Wien" in the autumn of 1938. In 1954 Gerasdorf was one of the 80 Viennese municipalities, which were reorganized to the state of Lower Austria.

In 1972, the municipality of Seyring was integrated into the municipality of Gerasdorf. In May 1992, Gerasdorf became a market town. On 17 December 1998, the Lower Austrian Parliament decided to extend the town of Gerasdorf.

The two settlements of Oberlisse and Kapellerfeld originated in the inter-war period after 1918. The name Kapellerfeld refers to a settlement which was already abandoned in 1258 as "Capellen", which was later abandoned and which was located half a kilometre south of today's settlement.

In September 2015, it was announced that the district of Wien Umgebung would be dissolved by December 31, 2016. In an online citizens' survey (September 2015) a two-thirds majority voted for membership of the Korneuburg district. In this vote Mistelbach and Gänserndorf were the other options.[7]

Religions

In Gerasdorf there are several Roman Catholic parishes (with Oberlisse and Kapellerfeld) and Seyring. From 1953 to 1965 Kurt Knotzinger was chaplain and priest in Gerasdorf. There is also an evangelical church in Gerasdorf and in Kapellerfeld.

Economy and Infrastructure

• 214 non-agricultural workplaces (2001), smaller industrial and commercial enterprises
• 47 agricultural and forestry holdings (1999)
• 3.779 employed at the place of residence (2001)
• 47.29 percent employment rate (2001)

The most important economic factor is undoubtedly the shopping centre "G3 Shopping Ressort Gerasdorf", located in Gerasdorf municipality. It is the fifth largest shopping centre in Austria. The name G3 designates the three building complexes consisting of the shopping centre, the specialist market centre and the adjoining Hornbach building, which has existed since 1997.

Sport

Gerasdorf used to be home to a well-known soccer club in Austria. The SV Gerasdorf, shortnamed SVG, was an Austrian football club, playing for the Viennese football association. At its most successful time, the club played in the Austrian second division from 1994 to 1998, before joining VSE St. Pölten in FC Lower Austria, which ended in bankruptcy in 2000. In 1998 a new club called SV Gerasdorf/Stammersdorf was founded, which now plays in Gerasdorf.
