Philips-Zeiss-Werk, Historic industrial building in Penzing, Vienna, Austria.
The Zeiss-Werk factory building features a distinctive observatory dome on its hilltop location, designed for testing optical instruments and equipment.
Built between 1916 and 1917 according to Robert Oerley's plans, the concrete structure initially manufactured optical devices for Carl-Zeiss before becoming radio equipment facilities.
The factory represents Vienna's industrial heritage through its architectural design, combining functional manufacturing space with scientific testing facilities in one structure.
Located in western Vienna, the building now serves as a military training facility for vehicle and tank technology at the Army Logistics School.
The structure remained empty from 1918 to 1929 before transforming into a radio factory, later producing the first Philips tape recorder in 1947.
