Jean Jaurès Court
The Jean-Jaurès-Hof is an urban residential complex in Vienna's 10th district of Favoriten . It is located at the height of the Boschberg at Neilreichgasse 105 and was planned between 1925 and 1926 by the architects Walter Broßmann and Alfred Keller . The namesake is the French socialist politician and pacifist Jean Jaurès , who was murdered shortly before the outbreak of the First World War.
The residential complex between Neilreichgasse, Raxstraße , Rudolfshügelgasse and Migerkastraße was built free-standing on a previously undeveloped area near allotment gardens . There are 389 apartments in it. The complex, designed as a four-sided block edge construction, is divided in the middle by a transverse wing and extends around two equally large inner courtyards, from which the staircases are accessible. A day care center is housed in one of the courtyards. Originally, in addition to the after-school care center, the residents also had two shops, an inn and a central laundry room.
The Jean-Jaurès-Hof has a homely, homely character due to its high-quality designed details, as well as its varied shapes, such as protruding pointed oriels and risalits , multi-tiered roof landscapes and the beautifully planted inner courtyards. The two portals on Neilreichgasse and Rudolfshügelgasse are monumentally designed. There are round arched passages with coffered barrel vaults . Furthermore, there are wrought iron grids and canopies in Art Nouveau forms within the complex. Between 1991 and 1995 the Jean-Jaurès-Hof was renovated and the playground was repaired.
