history
The first workers' association for Czechoslovak citizens was founded in Vienna on March 29, 1868. In 1974, the Czechoslovaks living in Vienna's 10th district of Favoriten created the workers' education association Delnicka Jednota in Hinteren Südbahnstraße 13. Then the short-lived Czech consumer association, the social-democratic cultural association Obcanska Beseda , based in the Tomašek inn at 32 Rotenhofgasse, and the savings association Zižka took part . In 1883 the association "Rovnost" was re-established for Delnicka Jednota, which was officially dissolved in 1881 . The workers gymnastics club Delnicke Telocvicne Jednoty was created in 1897.
During the Austrofascism from 1933 to 1938, the Czechoslovak associations were banned and the Delnicke Telocvicne Jednoty association ceased to exist. Many Czechoslovaks who were active in these associations were involved in the then illegal social democracy. During National Socialism from 1938 onwards, Czechoslovak schools, such as the Komenský School Association in 1942, were closed.
After the Communists came to power in Prague, there were several opinions among the Czechoslovak population in Vienna. In 1946 they founded the Czechoslovak Socialist Party of Austria, to which Delnicke Telocvicne Jednoty and the Máj cultural association, founded in 1904, are closely connected. The building of the Komenský School Association still served as accommodation for many associations. In the 1970s it was sold and one of the meeting places for Viennese Czechs in Favoriten was lost.
Today the headquarters of the Favoritner district organization of the Czech socialists is at Gussriegelstrasse 52.
