What is a District?
A district in Austria is a bit like an administrative area. It helps organize local government and services for the people living there. Even though Klagenfurt is the capital of the district, it's a special kind of city called a statutory city. This means Klagenfurt has its own government and rules, so it's not actually part of the Klagenfurt-Land District itself, even though it's surrounded by it!
