Mistelbach an der Zaya (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Mistelbach on the (River) Zaya; Central Bavarian: Mistlboch) is a town in the northeast of Austria in Lower Austria, one of Austria's nine federal states. It is located roughly 40 km northeast of Austria's capital Vienna. Furthermore, it consists of 8 subordinated municipalities.
Geographical location
Mistelbach is located in the North East of Lower Austria's Wine Quarter (Weinviertel), approximately 25 to 30 km from the Czech and the Slovak borders. It lies next to the main road connection between Brno (Czech Republic) and Vienna (Road B7).
History
Early settlements in the Mistelbach area can be traced back to pre-Christian times.
Around 1130, Mistelbach was mentioned in official deeds for the first time. After the Lords of Mistelbach died out around 1370, the royal estates of Wilfersdorf were given to the House of Lichtenstein.
Mistelbach was granted its first right to hold markets in 1372. Today, the town still hosts four markets per year. Mistelbach received its town charter on 5 July 1874.
In the 19th century, Mistelbach was strongly influenced by its connection to the Austrian Eastern Railway. It eventually became the district's capital. In the 20th century, the town experienced difficulties caused by its geographical proximity to the Iron Curtain. Nevertheless, Mistelbach developed into a regional center of the Eastern Winequarter (Weinviertel).

The current mayor is Erich Stubenvoll of the Austrian People's Party. The district council has 37 seats. Apportionment according to the district council elections from 26 January 2025:[1]
