In middle-class St. Magdalena, the mayoral election is an issue(Bild: Horst Einöder/Flashpictures)

What do the people of Linz think about the mayoral election taking place on Sunday? We visited three districts: St. Magdalena, the Franckviertel and Solarcity. The reactions of those interviewed by the "Krone" were surprising in some cases.

Magnificent mansions, neat detached houses and residential complexes - the St. Magdalena district in Linz can be described as middle-class. People have often known each other for generations. It is, if you like, a core ÖVP district in Linz. One of the hotspots seems unusual: the "Moby Dick" restaurant by the Biesenfeldbad.
