The Kerpely Colony or Kerpelysiedlung is a housing estate in the Donawitz district of Leoben, designed by the architect Alfred Keller between 1907 and 1922 . The buildings on Kerpelystrasse were completed between 1907 and 1913, the rest of the buildings only in the early 1920s . The Kerpely colony, like the surrounding settlements (e.g. in Pestalozzistraße), was built for the large influx of working class families. The colony should be a mixture of mass housing and garden areas. According to the architect's plans, the project should have been significantly larger, but was not fully implemented for cost reasons.
