Heinehof
The Heinehof is a listed urban residential complex in Vienna - Margareten . It is located at Stöbergasse 4–20.
Building description
The Heinehof was built in 1925/26 by the architect Otto Prutscher as a municipal residential complex. It was named after the German poet Heinrich Heine . The memorial plaque for the poet was removed in 1937 because Heine was connected to the burgeoning labor movement and was therefore a thorn in the side of the Austro-Fascist state.
The elongated six-storey facade is kept in restrained, expressive forms. The elongated arched niches are a striking element.
The complex has a long facade and comprises 168 apartments . The property is long and narrow so that there were no courtyards. In order to structure the long facade, the architect created two small, greened street courtyards, which are opposite the junction with Högelmüller- and Leitgebgasse. Today there is a kindergarten in each of the two courtyards .
The facade has been renovated and the white and pink colors make the old elements such as high triangular gables, flanking bay windows and symmetrically arranged round arch niches appear very well. This gave the residential building a dark, dreamy and wildly romantic shape.
