Goethehof

Italy

One of the bigger social housing projects of the "Red Vienna", the Goethehof was built 1928-1930 as living blocks (~700 appts.) surrounding a courtyard. The architectural style is modern-functionalist with some art déco-elements. As all of the housing projects of the social democratic Vienna (1919-1

933), it was a quantum leap in housing quality for the working class. During the Austrian Civil War (1934) it was one of the strongholds of the resistance against austro-fascism and even suffered the one and only air-raid during this conflict.
