District museum new building
The Neubau district museum is a district and local museum dedicated to Vienna's 7th district Neubau . It is located in the Amerlinghaus at 8 Stiftgasse, on the corner of Wardrobe Lane.
The museum, one of the smaller Viennese district museums, was founded in 1966. The main initiator was the lawyer, local researcher and folk song collector Georg Kotek (1889–1977) together with the then district chairman Otto Limanovsky. The museum was initially housed in a room of the district administration in Hermanngasse, then it was transferred to the Amerlinghaus cultural center in the course of the revitalization and upgrading of the once badly reputed Spittelberg district .
With over 500 exhibits, the museum documents the history of the 7th district and its predecessor communities, such as Schottenfeld , Alt-Lerchenfeld , Ortisei or Spittelberg, its commercial (especially textile processing) tradition and its transformation into a bourgeois residential district with only more today about 30,000 inhabitants.
Ursula Berner has been the museum director since 2013 .
