Hanuschhof
The Hanuschhof is a council in the 3rd Vienna district road at the Ludwig Koessler-Platz 2-4.
history
The Hanuschhof was built from 1923 to 1925 according to plans by Robert Oerley on the Erdberger Lände opposite today's transport museum Remise . It originally comprised 434 apartments and 20 artist studios. The wing facing the Danube Canal with bathing facilities, laundries, a day nursery, the caretaker's apartments and a municipal lending library was of lower height to allow a clear view of the unobstructed Prater from the apartments in the other wings .
The residential complex now comprises 475 apartments and was completely renovated by 2011.

The Hanuschhof was the first residential complex in the 3rd district in which a work of art in the form of a statue was erected. Carl Gelles created a 2.4 meter high bronze figure of a naked, standing athlete ("Nackter Jüngling"). In 1934 this statue, which was dedicated to Ferdinand Hanusch , who gave the building its name, was removed. It has been considered lost since 1941.
Preserved plaster casts of the figure enabled the commissioned sculptor Professor Rudolf Schmidt to make a copy that was cast in the “United Vienna Metalworks”. On August 21, 1954, the new statue was unveiled in the presence of Mayor Franz Jonas .
