Letten is a western district of Vaduz, situated on the flat Rhine plain and shaped by its proximity to the river. The area was originally marshland that was reclaimed following the Rhine correction projects in the 19th century. Today, Letten is a dynamic neighborhood offering a blend of modern residential housing and commercial spaces. Its functional architecture is particularly notable, providing space for various industrial branches and craft businesses alongside high-quality residential complexes. The flat topography makes the district well-suited for industrial settlements and large-scale infrastructure projects. With excellent connections to the regional road network, Letten serves as a vital economic hub within the municipality of Vaduz. Green corridors along the Rhine embankment provide residents with direct access to cycling and hiking paths extending into Austria and Switzerland. Letten impressively demonstrates how formerly unused floodplains were transformed into a productive and livable urban zone. The balance between providing employment opportunities and maintaining residential quality is a key focus of ongoing development here.
