Location and characteristics

After the buildings at Aubrunnerweg 37-41, it bends 90 degrees to the southwest and ends shortly thereafter. The continuation of the Aubrunnerweg is called Julius-Raab-Straße. The building on the left side of the Aubrunnerweg dates from the time of National Socialism . The terminus of tram lines 1 and 2 and the school and sports facilities of the (federal) school center Auhof are on the right-hand side . The former Aubrunnergut was located southeast of today's residential buildings Aubrunnerweg 37-41.

Former infantry barracks
To the south of Auhof Castle , the Wehrmacht planned a large infantry barracks to close off a residential area planned on the Schlatenfeld plain (design: Roderich Frick) in the east. Most of the project, however, was largely postponed in 1942. In addition to the main buildings, the plan for the infantry barracks provided for five crew houses (Aubrunnerweg 13–41) as well as a farm building, horse stables, a horse hospital and an armory. However, only the main building and the team houses were implemented. The completed buildings were used by the Soviet occupation troops after the end of the war, and from 1956 and 1965 they were converted into apartments.
No. 1-11
The building at Aubrunnerweg 1–11 (= Altenberger Strasse 50–56) forms a horseshoe-shaped complex that is closed off by a modern transverse wing (No. 1 a) facing Altenberger Strasse. The complex, which was built by the Army Construction Office between 1940 and 1941, has a mighty, multi-profiled granite round arch portal with profiled fighters and wedge stone in the central axis. Above the portal there is a marble cartouche with the inscription: "The infantry deserves the crown". The southeast corner of the complex was designed as an almost square projecting residential tower. The facility is used today for apartments and institutes of the Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU). The JKU's nursery and the Pfarrcaritas Kindergarten St. Berthold are also located here.
Nos. 13-17, 19-23, 25-29, 31-35, 37-41
The five two-story, elongated apartment blocks were arranged almost parallel to each other. They have pent roofs and a simple facade structure in the style of simpler Nazi settlements. The window and door details, however, differ somewhat from the usual Nazi style.
No. 4 Federal School Center
The Auhof school center complex includes the Auhof European High School with the Linz International School Auhof and the HLW Linz-Auhof College for Business Professions. The large school complex also includes spacious sports facilities.
No. 43 elementary school
In addition to a primary school (primary school 51), the building also houses the English-speaking private school Anton Bruckner International School (primary school 53). The school is run by the School Association of the Cross Sisters. From November 1956 until the end of the 2013/14 school year, the building also housed a secondary school (Hauptschule 24).
