Goethehof, Municipal residential complex in Donaustadt, Austria

The Goethehof features 677 apartments across 50 staircases, making it the largest residential building in the Kaisermühlen district of Vienna.

Built between 1928 and 1930, the complex became a battlefield in February 1934 when military aircraft attacked the building during social democratic uprising.

The complex bears the name of German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and includes a kindergarten that implemented Montessori educational methods.

Recent renovations added 129 penthouse apartments, new elevators in all staircases, and modern thermal insulation windows throughout the building.

The building stands as a fortress-like structure on a former Danube island, designed to create a visual impact visible from great distances.
