Linz

As you may know, we’re living in the city of Linz, Austria. We’ve done some exploring, but it occurred to me that I don’t know all that much about the city. I decided to look up some information on Wikipedia about the town. Here’s the quick rundown:

  • Linz is pronounced “Lintz”
  • We’re in the northern center part of Austria
  • We’re only 30km (18mi) from the Czech border
  • Linz has a population of 190,000 putting between Rochester and Minneapolis in terms of size. Actually, it’s close to a Rochester plus a Duluth.
  • The Linz area, including suburbs, is around 271,000
  • Hitler considered this his home town

So there’s your information for the day. I learned a few things too.
