Wolkersdorf im Weinviertel is a town in the district of Mistelbach in the Austrian state of Lower Austria. It is situated in the Weinviertel, about 15 km north of Vienna, on the main road from Vienna to Brno (European route E461). The municipality consists of the subdivisions (Katastralgemeinden) Wolkersdorf, Riedenthal, Pfösing, Obersdorf and Münichsthal. It was elevated to town status in 1969.

[edit] Infrastructure

Wolkersdorf is connected by road (E461/B7) with Vienna to the south and Gaweinstal and the Czech Republic to the north. The planned Nordautobahn will replace this road. The Wolkersdorf railway station is connected to the Vienna S-Bahn suburban railway network, and is also served by regional trains to Vienna, Mistelbach and Laa an der Thaya.
