Hugo-Breitner-Hof, Municipal housing complex in Penzing, Austria.
Hugo-Breitner-Hof is a brick residential complex with modernist elements extending along multiple addresses on Linzer Straße in Vienna's Penzing district. The buildings display typical Viennese municipal housing architecture with multi-story structures organized around inner courtyards.
Construction began in July 1949 as part of Vienna's post-war housing programs to create new residential spaces for the city. The official opening ceremony took place on October 15, 1954, marking the completion of this major housing project.
Sculptures and reliefs created by artists Hilde Uray and Ernst Wenzelis decorate the facades throughout the complex. These artworks became part of the everyday visual experience for residents and anyone walking through the property.
The complex has direct connections to several bus and tram lines that link it to central Vienna and surrounding districts. Good access to public transportation makes it easy to explore the neighborhood and reach other parts of the city.
The complex holds protected monument status under Austrian heritage law and is registered in the country's cultural property registry, emphasizing its architectural importance. Recognizing this status helps visitors understand why this residential project has been preserved and protected over time.
