They even made a widely-accepted short form “Wr.” because 6 characters is too many. Especially common in Austria, anyone know why? /s

        It’s the name of a city district on a signpost, where context is clear anyway. You are way overthinking and overinterpreting it.

          Yes, Vienna is where I heard and saw “Wiener” and “Wr.” the most and I know that it’s a masculine form of “Viennese”. /s means “this has been sarcasm”. Whether you find it funny, the intent has been signposted.

          Now seriously: Does “Wr.” become “Wre.” in plural the Nominativ form in the female Genus?

            No. In this usage, “Wiener” is an adjectival derivation. It does not change with cases or plural.
