Bosnian Austrians are citizens of Austria whose ancestry can be traced to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The vast majority of Bosnians emigrated to Austria during and after the Bosnian War of the 1990s, though a large number emigrated as early as the 19th century.




Communities


The largest Bosnian communities in Austria are found in Vienna, Graz, Linz and Wels; followed by Salzburg, Villach and Klagenfurt.
In June 2013, the city of Wels unveiled its Platz der Bosniaken — Trg Bošnjaka square in front of the Bosnian Austrian Cultural Center as a symbol of recognition and appreciation of the Bosnian people living in Austria. Just seven years later, in 2020, the first woman of Bosnian descent, Alma Zadić, a lawyer and politician of the Green party, was sworn in as the Minister of Justice of Austria.




Demographics


According to the population census 2014 conducted by "Statistik Austria" (Austrian federal agency for statistics), the total number of people of Bosnian descent in Austria was 155,050. It comprised 1.9% of the total population. As of 2023, some 46,000 Bosnians lived in Vienna.
