Barbarasiedlung (Knappenberg)

The Barbarasiedlung , a miners' settlement in Knappenberg in the municipality of Hüttenberg , is one of the most architecturally significant housing developments of the Austrian interwar period.

The buildings were erected between 1921 and 1923 by the Austrian Alpine Mining Society according to plans by the architects Siegfried Theiss and Hans Jaksch . The settlement at a height of around 1000 meters consists of 108 terraced houses, which are designed in four different house types, and a department store. Around a natural plateau, which was laid out as a small square, the row houses, individually adjusted to the random floor courses, stand on an extreme slope. The building in the home style are built on a brick basement Holzblockbauten . The department store is equipped with ogival arcades .
