Arbeiterheim Favoriten
Arbeiterheim Favoriten, Social facility and historical building in Favoriten district, Vienna, Austria
The Arbeiterheim Favoriten spans an entire block on Laxenburger Straße, featuring a grand banquet hall, multiple meeting rooms, and residential spaces across its floors.
Architect Hubert Gessner, a student of Otto Wagner, designed this workers' home between 1901 and 1902 as the first such establishment in Vienna.
The building housed the first cinema in Favoriten district, known as Amalien-Kino, which operated from 1927 until 1982, showing films and operettas.
The facility currently serves as temporary housing for refugees and provides shelter services under the management of Fonds Soziales Wien.
The Social Democratic Party of Vienna plans to establish their headquarters in this historical workers' home by 2026, marking a return to its political roots.
