history
Zeppelinstraße was originally named in 1925 after the Jewish textile manufacturer and owner of the art mill in Kleinmünchen and benefactor of the Moriz Löwenfeld community . After the National Socialists came to power, the street was renamed Zeppelinstraße in 1938.

building
No. 28 Villa-like house
The premises of the aluminum cylinder head manufacturer Nemak (formerly Mandl & Berger) are located between house numbers 18 and 30 . The company premises also include a villa-like residential building in the street. It was built in 1908 by Ferdinand Bachbaur for his own purposes. The window axes of the street-side facade were grouped into three groups of two with common sills, whereby the central projecting protrudes shallowly and was accentuated by a balcony with diamond-shaped iron bars. The late historical-secessionist decoration shows different motifs such as masks, bandwork and guttae . On the west front there is a wood-glass vestibule with fretwork and a balcony, while the rear has been designed with geometrical frame frames.
No. 29 Workers' Home Kleinmünchen
The former workers' home in Kleinmünchen was built between 1928 and 1929 by the construction company J. Müller & F. Paral for the “Verein Arbeiterheim Kleinmünchen”. The corner house on Dürrerstraße (Dürrerstraße 24) is a one to three-storey asymmetrical building with an expressionist structure. The listed building has a two-story wing with a hipped roof on Dürrerstraße and an extension at ground level, with gothic pointed arched windows on the first floor of the two-story wing. The facade facing Zeppelinstrasse has a narrow, three-story, cube-shaped building with ribbon windows. The workers' home in Kleinmünchen was operated as a restaurant for a long time, with a large garden to the west on Zeppelinstrasse. Most recently, the company was operated as "Das Wirtshaus". For the site, which is owned by the SPÖ-Privatstiftung L36, a conversion of the existing building in Dürrerstraße and Zeppelinstraße was approved by the housing association Neue Heimat in 2017.
No. 30 Villa-like house
The corner house on Dürrerstraße26, like the workers' home diagonally opposite, was built in 1930 by the construction company J. Müller & F. Paral. The small villa building has a polygonal corner bay on the street corner.
No. 33 Former post office
The former Kleinmünchner post office was located in the corner house at Franz-Kurz-Straße 11. It was built in 1909 by Ferdinand Bachbauer for the Imperial and Royal Postmaster Theresia Stöger on a hook-shaped floor plan. The building has a late historicist-secessionist facade with classifying motifs. In 1963 a shop was built on the ground floor, which is currently used for a flower shop.
No. 37 Parish of St. Quirinus
The rectory of the parish church in Kleinmünchen was established in 1909 by Franz Kaun on behalf of the Canons' Monastery of St. Florian. The asymmetrical north facade shows bottle and pilasters and has a gable-crowned central projection with round arched twin windows on the upper floor. The building is a historical monument.
Parish Church of Kleinmünchen
The parish church of Kleinmünchen was built between 1905 and 1906 according to plans by cathedral builder Matthäus Schlager in a late historical mixed style.
No. 44 secondary and elementary school
The listed building complex of elementary school 7 and the new middle school 10 was built in several construction phases. The first building was erected in 1910 by Ferdinand Bachbaur on the corner of Franz-Kurz-Strasse and Kirchenplatz. This building was extended to the north in 1923 by the Linz City Planning Department. In the years 1926 and 1927 or 1938 the building on the square opposite the parish church followed. After bomb damage was repaired in 1946, the extensions towards Denkstrasse were extended in 1960/61 . A second gymnasium was built between 1981 and 1982 on Denkstrasse. The most striking detail of the south-facing facade is the three-part entrance area with coffered artificial stone pillars and heavy cornices. In the garden courtyard there is an artificial stone fountain with a sea lion figure spraying water.
No. 58 Health Center Kleinmünchen
The corner house at the confluence of Denkstrasse and Zeppelinstrasse with Dauphinestrasse (= Denkstrasse 53 and Dauphinestrasse 52) was demolished in 2016 and replaced by a new building. Before that, there was a house built by Ferdinand Bachbaur for Karl and Anna Niedermair between 1907 and 1908, which was later used as a branch by the Upper Austrian Regional Health Insurance Fund. The late-historic house had flat projecting risalits with rusticated plaster strips and windows with straight roofs. The ground floor was grooved, and there was also a delicate grooving on the upper floor, whereby the windows in the risalit area here had blown gables.
