City sub-districts
The four neighborhoods of the Wiehre
The Wiehre is officially divided into four city districts (Nos. 421 to 424). They run from the "Wiehre Cathedral" of St. Johann in the Oberwiehre, through the village-like Mittelwiehre heart at Annaplatz, to the Unterwiehre with its Dreisam riverbank, the Christ Church and the slopes of the Lorettoberg. In all, 24,640 people live here on 5.96 km².
Oberwiehre
The eastern part of the Wiehre around St. Johann (the "Wiehre Cathedral"), Maria Hilf and the Old Wiehre Station. Wilhelmine-era villas and quiet residential streets.
Mittelwiehre
