Karl-Marx-Hof

Wien, Italy

Karl-Marx-Hof

Built between 1927 and 1930 by the Otto Wagner's student Karl Ehn, the Karl Marx-Hof is a public housing complex (called "Gemeindebau" in Vienna), from the time of the social-democratic public housing programme during Austria's First Republic. With its 1382 Apartments and roughly 1,1 km in length, M

arx-Hof is the worlds longest contiguous public housing complex and probably Vienna's most famous "Gemeindebau". The permanent exhibit '''Red Vienna''' (in Wash House #2) is devoted to the history of Red Vienna, a period of one-party rule by the Social Democrats from 1919-1934.
