Betriebsgarage Leopoldau, Bus depot in Floridsdorf district, Vienna, Austria.
Betriebsgarage Leopoldau is a bus depot in Vienna's Floridsdorf district that serves the city's public transport system. The facility comprises three main building sections containing a parking hall, workshop areas, and administrative offices.
The depot was built between 2005 and 2007 on the northern section of the former Leopoldau gasworks site. This transformation from an old industrial location to a modern transport hub shaped the area's development.
The facility was designed by the architectural firm Fasch & Fuchs and shapes the industrial area with its contemporary forms. The building demonstrates the functional design language of modern transport infrastructure in Vienna.
The depot lies on Katharina-Scheiter-Gasse in Floridsdorf, a street laid out specifically for the garage at the northern edge of the former gasworks site. It is an active operating yard, so the halls and workshops are closed to visitors; the three building groups can be made out from the public street.
A liquid gas station with attached storage tanks on the site requires specialized safety measures integrated into the overall design. This infrastructure enables the operation of modern gas-powered buses.
