Building
No. 2–4: Ernst-Kirchweger-Haus, former Czech school
The building at the beginning of Wielandgasse, which is now in a very poor state of preservation, was built in 1931 by Josef Hofbauer and Wilhelm Baumgarten for the Czech Komenský school association . The two architects had already built some school buildings for the Czech ethnic group in Vienna. The four-storey building has only a sparse horizontal structure and a clinker-clad ground floor and is therefore in an exciting relationship to the neighboring structure. After the end of the Second World War, the building came into the possession of the Communist Party of Austria . The building, which had been vacant for years, was occupied by left-wing and autonomous youth groups in 1990 and called the Ernst-Kirchweger-Haus by them . Even after the house was sold by the KPÖ, these groups stayed where they were, and have had regular rental agreements since 2008. Events take place continuously in the Ernst-Kirchweger-Haus. The building is a historical monument.
No. 6: Dorotheum
This interesting building, which houses a branch of the Dorotheum , was built in 1928/29 according to plans by the architect Michael Rosenauer . The cubic, block-like reinforced concrete building with the main front in Wielandgasse is located on the corner of Erlachgasse 90 (address of the Dorotheum branch) and is clearly structured by window groups recessed like slits. There is a representative auction room on the first floor. In 2010, the contrast between the vertically structured house and the neighboring horizontally structured Ernst-Kirchweger-Haus is even more pronounced, as the Dorotheum is being renovated in color, while the Ernst-Kirchweger-Haus is presented in a dirty gray and smeared facade.
No. 9: Church of the Redeemer
The church, the parish rooms and the parish chancellery of the Evangelical Reformed Community in Vienna South are located in a residential building from the years 1954–1956 . The church is named Erlöserkirche. On the facade facing Wielandplatz there is a 10 meter high sgraffito land, Land hear the word of Günther Baszel .
