District Museum Brigittenau

District Museum Brigittenau, Local history museum in Brigittenau, Austria.

The District Museum Brigittenau displays the history of Vienna's 20th district through photographs, documents, models, and industrial artifacts housed in a historic building. The collection also features a large Danube exhibition in an annex with additional displays.

A local history museum existed on Wallensteinplatz in the 1930s, but today's museum grew from a private collection begun by police inspector Heinrich Zwicker (1919–1991), shown in the 1950s at Wallensteinplatz 5–6. From 1960 it was called Brigittenauer Heimatmuseum in the Raffaelgasse 13 adult education centre. After a decade in Engerthstraße 60–74 from 1984, it opened in May 1994 in the 1889 Bertram-Schlössl at Dresdner Straße 79.

The museum keeps the memory of the Brigitta-Kirtag, the fair once held around the Brigitta Chapel, and of the entertainment venues Colosseum and Universum. A Robert Blum memorial with original letters recalls the 1848 revolutionary executed in Brigittenau, and a display on "Brigittenau in the Resistance" covers the Nazi period and the district's Holocaust victims.

The museum occupies a restored 1889 villa at Dresdner Straße 79, near the Wien Traisengasse stop served by S-Bahn lines and tram line 2; bus lines 5A and 37A also stop nearby. The ground floor holds a lecture hall with a stage for 80 people, a meeting room, the archive and offices, while the exhibition rooms are on the first floor. Around 600 m² in total, with the depot in the attic.

The museum's building, the Bertram-Schlössl, stands on the foundations of a former ferry house. A commemorative plaque notes that the Schmid family built the villa in 1889, and it later served the telephone and radio manufacturer Czeija, Nissl & Co. as offices and housing.
