The Rosa-Jochmann-Hof is a community building comprising 276 apartments in Vienna's 11th district, Simmering . It was designed in 1931/1932 by Josef Frank and Oskar Wlach .

history

In Red Vienna between the wars produced numerous municipal residential buildings, 17 of them in the 11th district. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were a few houses from the 19th century and an inn in the area of ​​today's Rosa-Jochmann-Hof . The original planning stipulated that the residential complex should extend to Hasenleitengasse, but the decision was ultimately made on a reduced version of the project. Construction began in 1931. At the time of completion in 1932, the complex was the largest municipal building in Simmering, a year later this rank was transferred to the Strindberghof, which comprises 599 apartments .

In 1939 an increase was made, from 1988 elevators were installed. From 2004 to 2006 a general renovation of the residential complex took place, during which, among other things, the roof was re-covered, the windows and doors were replaced and a new playground was built. In addition, the facade was provided with a thermal insulation composite system and the residential complex was connected to the Vienna district heating network.

On September 10, 2013, the previously unnamed community building was named Rosa-Jochmann-Hof, after the resistance fighter and social democratic politician Rosa Jochmann, who was strongly associated with Simmering .

General

The residential complex is under monument protection ( list entry ) and is bordered by Simmeringer Hauptstraße, Fickeysstraße, Pleischlgasse and Strachegasse. In the area of ​​the corner of Simmeringer Hauptstraße and Fickeysstraße (tram stop) there are three Wilhelminian style rental houses that are not part of the municipal building. A gap in the area of ​​the intersection of Simmeringer Hauptstrasse and Strachegasse was closed in 1961 by another municipal residential complex. The Vienna Simmering transport station is around 250 meters to the north .

The four- to five-storey building comprises 22 staircases, which are grouped around a large, park-like inner courtyard as peripheral buildings. The otherwise rather simply designed complex is divided along the Simmeringer Hauptstraße on the facade side by a rhythmic arrangement of bay windows. The individual stairs are contrasted in color. Shops and restaurants are located in the ground floor zone on Simmeringer Hauptstraße.
