context_page_description: The Bezirk Lienz is an administrative district in Tyrol, Austria. It is the only district in East Tyrol. The district borders the Pinzgau in the north, the districts Spittal an der Drau and Hermagor in the east, Veneto in the south, and South Tyrol in the west.
  The area of the district is 2,016.41 km², with a population of 48,833, and population a density of 25 persons per km². The administrative center of the district is Lienz.
  In 1918 it was occupied by the Italian Army.In 1919, Trentino and South Tyrol were split from what is now the Austrian state of Tyrol in the Treaty of Saint-Germain. Since this time, East Tyrol has been separated from North Tyrol by about 5 km of border between the federal state of Salzburg and South Tyrol. Accordingly, it forms an inner-Austrian exclave of the federal state of Tyrol. It was also the only part of modern Tyrol not occupied by France after World War II, instead forming part of the British zone.
