The urban population of Vienna, the hometown

In the early 2th century, Vienna was once the sixth largest city in the world. During the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1867-1918), the population of Vienna grew rapidly, with a population of two million. At that time, it was the fourth largest city in the world after London, new york and Paris. At that time, Vienna gathered many immigrants from other parts of the empire. After the First World War, many Czechs returned to their motherland, which led to a decrease in the population of this city, and Vienna lost a quarter of its population. In the following immigration period, about one third of the population had Slavic and Hungarian surnames. Today, the urban population of Vienna is 1.7 million (28 statistics).
