Emperor Franz Joseph I. anniversary fund for workshop buildings and people's apartments

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kaiser Franz Joseph I. Jubilee Fund for workshop buildings and people's apartments is a fund established in 1908 to promote business premises and living space for tradespeople (craftsmen) in Vienna .

History and organization of the fund

In the lecture given by the Minister for Public Works Albert Gessmann to the Council of Ministers on July 2, 1908, the fund was "understood on the one hand as an idea to promote housing, on the other hand as an important contribution to the promotion of trade". The lecture was signed by Emperor Franz Joseph I on July 15, 1908 in Bad Ischl .

The administration of the fund is incumbent on a board of trustees with representatives of the federal capital Vienna and the federal government. Members of the board of trustees included Franz Hoß , Peter Heindl and Walter Fuchs .

A unanimous change of the statutes was decided in the city senate meeting on March 23, 2004.

The historical significance of the fund for the development of a non-profit housing sector in Austria was primarily the profit limitation stipulated in the statutes (cf. § 8 reserve fund).

With a resolution dated April 28, 1908, the municipality of Vienna contributed a 5,400 square meter plot of land (formerly Gumpendorfer Schlachthaus in Mollardgasse 85) to the fund and dedicated it accordingly. The so-called Jubiläumswerkstättenhof or often also called Mollardhof because of the address Mollardgasse 85a was built on the property in 1909 , with 150 workshops and 40 living rooms, today also Linke Wienzeile 178. In 1944 the building was badly damaged by a bombing. The damage was repaired soon after the war.

With the decision of the Federal Ministry of the Interior of August 10, 1955, GZ 105.287-10 / 55, the fund which was dissolved by the decision of the former Ministry of Internal and Cultural Affairs of January 18, 1939, Zl. II II / 4-104.970 / 39, was dissolved in accordance with § Section 1 (1) lit. a and 6 of the Foundation and Fund Reorganization Act of July 6, 1954, Federal Law Gazette No. 197 restored, since the transfer of the property to the municipality of Vienna associated with this dissolution with the condition that the property be used in accordance with the previous dedication of the fund, “represents a measure in connection with the National Socialist takeover” and “thus the prerequisites for the official Restoration of the legal personality of the fund "are given.

On January 9, 1963, the loan from 1924 for 400 million crowns was deleted, which goes back through several conversions to the loans that were taken out for the establishment (land register EZ 1317, KG Mariahilf). With the decision of the Federal Monuments Office of November 19, 1997, GZ 16.188173 / 97, it was determined that the maintenance of the workshop buildings in Vienna 6, Linke Wienzeile 178 / Mollardgasse 85 in accordance with Sections 1 and 3 of the Monument Protection Act (Federal Law Gazette No. 533/1923 id F . 473/1990) is in the public interest and is thus placed under monument protection.

A general renovation of the building began in 2000 and was completed in 2003. In 2013, a photovoltaic system was installed on the flat roof of the workshop building.

Renting of premises is only possible upon presentation of a trade license (Realkanzlei Sodoma, 1060 Vienna).

On April 11, 2013, at the request of the district management for the 6th district, a memorial plaque was placed on the outer facade for Reinhold Duschka , who hid the Jewish chemist Regina Steinig and her eleven-year-old daughter Lucia for four years in his workshop at Mollardgasse 85a and thus hid them Protection from persecution and deportation.

Further activities of the fund in Vienna

In 2015, the planning and preparations began for the purchase of historical workshops on the site of the former Leopoldau gasworks in Vienna-Floridsdorf, in order to use them as a subsidy for small businesses after renovation and obtaining the appropriate official permits for the workshop operation. The aim is to create workplaces in the immediate vicinity for the residents of the apartments planned on the rest of the site of the former gasworks, most of which are planned as social housing: This also corresponds to the original idea of ​​the “Living and Working Under One Roof” fund to relieve the volume of traffic in Vienna. A corresponding property in the area of ​​the former Leopoldau gasworks was acquired by the fund in 2017.
