The Lassalle-yard (often Lassallehof written) is a council in the 2nd Viennese district Leopoldstadt .
history
In Red Vienna between the wars produced numerous municipal residential buildings, 19 of them in the 2nd district. At the place intended for the construction of the Lassalle-Hof there was a tram depot called a tram depot at the end of the 19th century , which supplemented the large depot in Engerthstrasse. The architecture competition announced in 1923 for the residential complex was won by Karl Krist , but the runner-up, the architectural association Hubert Gessner , Hans Paar, Fritz Waage and Friedrich Schlossberg received the contract. Construction began on May 12, 1924, and in 1925 it was named after Ferdinand Lassalle , the founder of the German social democracy and labor movement, to whom a plaque in the complex commemorates. On October 3, 1926, the opening ceremony was held by the Mayor of Vienna, Karl Seitz , at which the Heizmann-Hof opposite, also designed by Gessner and still unnamed at the time , was opened. Plans that ultimately created until 1928 Lassalledenkmal of Mario Petrucci set up in or before the Lassalle-Hof, were discarded due to for a monument to be unfavorable local prestigious events, it was instead in front of a council in the 20th district, the Winarskyhof built .
At the time of its completion, Lassalle-Hof was one of the largest communal residential complexes in Leopoldstadt with 290 apartments. At that time it had 14 business premises along Lassallestrasse , a kindergarten, a mother's advice center and a library. On the top floor of the - originally planned higher - eight-story residential tower of the otherwise six-story building was a classroom and photo studio for the Austrian friends of nature . The residential tower was destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in 1949. In 1978 the Leopoldstadt group of the Austrian Workers' Samaritan Association set up their group premises in Lassalle-Hof. A general renovation took place from 1990 to 1992. Through the merging of apartments, the number of originally 290 residential units has been reduced to currently 269 apartments.
The kindergarten still exists today and is run by the Vienna kindergartens as an integration day care center for 6- to 10-year-olds. The concentration camp association / VdA Vienna also has an office in Lassalle-Hof. In the row of shops along Lassallestrasse, there was already a consumer cooperative store before the Second World War , which became a consumer outlet in the second half of the 20th century . At that time there was also a shoe shop, a shop for toys and hobbyist supplies, a WIMO branch (Wiener Molkerei), an umbrella shop, an installer, snack bar and a photo service and studio. Today you can find "newer type" shops instead, such as an electronics pawnshop, a cell phone exchange, a "smoke shop" and a hairdressing salon.
General
The listed ( list entry ) residential complex is bounded by Lassallestrasse, Vorgartenstrasse, Ybbsstrasse and Radingerstrasse. At three corners of the apartment block there are Wilhelminian-style rental houses that are not part of the municipal housing. At the intersection of Lassallestraße / Vorgartenstraße is the Vorgartenstraße underground station , about 300 meters east of the Franz-von-Assisi-Church . The six-storey building - with the exception of the residential tower - comprises nine staircases, which are grouped around a central inner courtyard and two side courtyards, and features partly modern and partly classic design elements. The prestigious street front facing Lassallestrasse is downgraded several times; further architectural elements include bay windows, blind arcades, round arches and the stone vases in the central courtyard. The total area is 6720 m², of which 57.7% are built-up.
