One of the apartment buildings

At Tivoli there is an extensive residential complex of the municipality of Vienna in Meidling , which was built 1927–1928 according to plans by Wilhelm Peterle .

Building description

The residential complex is located at Hohenbergstrasse 3–21 and is bordered by Grünbergstrasse, Hasenhutgasse, Josefine-Wessely-Weg, Pechegasse, Schwenkgasse and Weißenthurngasse. It is a large settlement complex that was built according to the garden city idea. It comprises 388 apartments in 65 residential buildings with 92 stairs. Most houses are designed for 4 apartments and have a front garden. These villa-like houses are distributed in a park-like area, with their diverse, expressive design in the tradition of community housing of the early 1920s. There are communal facilities such as a kindergarten or a laundry. The complex is criss-crossed by several narrow streets. Within the social housing of the Red Vienna , this settlement complex is rather unusual, as the collectivist character recedes and an individualistic-bourgeois overall impression emerges. The proximity to Schönbrunn Palace probably played a role in the design.

history

The settlement at Tivoli was expanded in the years 1929–1930. It got its name from the well-known entertainment and excursion site Tivoli , which was on the other side of Hohenbergstrasse and still existed at the time of construction. The emergency church at Gatterhölzl and the Moldavian Cross from the time of the 2nd Turkish siege of Vienna , when Romanian auxiliary troops of the Turks camped at this point, were integrated into the settlement . The residential complex itself was officially opened on March 20, 1932 by Mayor Karl Seitz .
