Housing complex Wiener Flur in 2009 as seen from Porschestrasse

Wiener Flur is a residential complex in the 23rd Viennese district of Liesing at Porschestraße 13–23. The part of the complex managed by Wiener Wohnen comprises 824 apartments, making it the largest community building in Liesing.

Building description

The Wiener Flur residential complex was built between 1978 and 1980 in the northeast of the Siebenhirten district according to plans by Klara Hautmann-Kiss , Rudolf Hautmann and Friedrich Rollwagen . The seven U-shaped, six- to eight-storey residential buildings with stepped fronts were built on an almost square area around an unusually large central green space in prefabricated construction and, according to the architects' concept, should represent a post-modern variant of the traditional courtyard concept of the municipal housing in Red Vienna . It is a conscious attempt to implement the model of the Karl-Marx-Hof with the means of assembly construction.

In the park, part of the whole by Gert Linke

Klara Hautmann-Kiss was responsible for the artistic design of the residential complex . In the courtyard you can find the metal sculpture Im Park, part of the whole, created in 1983 by Gert Linke , an example of art in architecture . The facility is surrounded by Porschestrasse, Karl-Tornay-Gasse, Akaziengasse and Basler Gasse. In the immediate vicinity is the Siebenhirten underground station, the terminus of the U6 line . Some regional buses and a night bus line also stop here .

With 824 community apartments, the majority of the 1361 residential units are managed by Wiener Wohnen . The remaining part are cooperative apartments, which are managed by Sozialbau AG . The residential complex has a swimming pool and other communal facilities such as playgrounds, saunas, laundry rooms and hobby rooms. On the area there is a primary school, two kindergartens, two rows of shops with several business premises and a base of the street work association Save the Child .

Culture

In 2006 the residential complex was the scene of an episode of the crime series Tatort with Harald Krassnitzer as Commissioner Eisner . It was not only filmed outside, but also in some apartments, in one of them a dead married couple is found at the beginning of the plot.
