Editing Simmering (Vienna) (section)

== Infrastructure ==
The 11th district has always been known for its industries. In the 19th century, Simmering generated and supplied the electricity for the ''Straßenbahnen'' ([[tram]]s) of Vienna and also had a [[gas works]] to supply the city with [[town gas]] for its lights. The gas works produced [[natural gas]] from 1899 to 1978, but today serves as a distribution post for natural gas brought in. There were huge 70-meter tall gas tanks on the premises, called the [[Gasometer, Vienna|Gasometer]] (featured in the [[James Bond]] film [[The Living Daylights]]). Reconstruction in 2001 converted the structures from containers to buildings that today house apartments, offices, a shopping centre, and a cinema. The towers of the Gasometer have ranked next to the [[Zentralfriedhof]] as a landmark of the 11th district.

The district also hosts other municipal infrastructure, including the EBS (special material recycling center), a [[sewage treatment]] facility that treats about 90% of the city's sewage, and also a [[Juvenile delinquency|juvenile detention center]].
