The Kopenhagenhof is a council in the 19th Vienna district , Döbling . It was built between 1956 and 1959 on the site of a brewery and comprises 432 apartments.
location
The Kopenhagenhof is located in the south of Döbling in the cadastral municipality of Oberdöbling . The residential complex is bordered in the south by Schegargasse and in the north by Hardtgasse, in the west the Kopenhagenhof extends partly as far as Billrothstrasse (tram line 38, bus line 35A), in the east a row of houses separates the municipal housing from Döblinger Hauptstrasse (tram line 37) . The official address of the residential complex is 19., Schegargasse 13–15.
history
A brewery operated by Moriz von Kuffner , the owner of the Ottakringer brewery , was previously located on the site .
In the immediate vicinity of the Copenhagen courtyard , several municipal buildings - such as the Professor-Jodl-Hof , the Klosehof , the Pestalozzi-Hof and the Dittes-Hof - had already been built in the 1920s . After the Kuffner beer brewery had been destroyed during the Second World War, the city planners decided to build another residential complex in this part of the district, thereby building on the building tradition of Red Vienna .
The Copenhagen courtyard was built in two construction phases, with the northern part on Hardtgasse being planned by the architects Wilhelm Hubatsch , Florian Omasta, Fritz Pariasek and Friedrich Punzmann and the southern part on Billrothstrasse and Schegargasse by the architects Eduard Böhm, Joachim Peters, Hans Pfann and Ernest Stamminger. The construction work for the northern part with 213 apartments started in 1956, the construction of the southern part, which opened in 1959, began in 1957.
As a thank you for the Danish help after both world wars, the residential complex was named after the Danish capital Copenhagen on May 26, 1962 . A memorial plaque was also placed on Staircase 4, reminding us that the Danish people contributed to alleviating the misery, especially of Viennese children, “twice in the course of a generation”.
The Copenhagen courtyard was renovated in 2005–2007, with windows and doors being renewed and partial full protection thermal insulation of the facade being carried out. In addition, the Kopenhagenhof was connected to the Vienna district heating network. The renovation costs amounted to around 2,500,000 euros.
architecture
The Copenhagen courtyard consists of several street tracts, which are formed by coupled houses, as well as five buildings that have been distributed over the park-like area. In the northern part, two street wings separate the residential complex from Hardtgasse, with the two separate wings comprising two or three flights of stairs. The northern part of the facility also has three buildings with one to three flights of stairs. While the height of the buildings on the outside of the Copenhagen courtyard has been adjusted to match the height of the surrounding buildings, four of the five separate wings inside the complex have eight floors each. In the south, a long tract with five flights of stairs separates the residential complex from Billrothstraße and Schegargasse, opposite are two further tracts with two or three flights of stairs, which are connected to a community building built in 1923/24 at Schegargasse 17.
Works of art
There is a large number of modern works of art in the residential complex. The relief "House Music" was created by the painter Franz Luby , the door frame "Family Life" was created by Adele Stadler. The park-like complex also houses the bronze sculpture "Two boys playing with balls" by the sculptor Rudolf Schmidt and the natural stone sculpture "Two bears playing" by the sculptor Josef Bock . The natural stone sculpture "Resting Woman" by Alfons Riedel is located on the forecourt of the Billrothstrasse and Schegargasse intersection . There are also several artistically designed fountains in the residential complex, whereby the academic painter Jakob Laub created a bird bath and Alfred Hrdlicka created an "abstract bird bath". There is also the “Vogelflug” fountain by Herbert Schwarz and a sundial designed by Helene Hädelmayr.
