Kulturfabrik Hainburg, Cultural center and museum in Hainburg an der Donau, Austria.
Kulturfabrik Hainburg occupies the Donaugebäude, the largest factory hall of the former tobacco works, built in 1847 outside the town walls. The 700 m² former production hall now hosts exhibitions, while three floors hold an archaeological depot and laboratories where finds from Carnuntum are studied and restored.
A tobacco manufactory was founded on the site in 1724 and nationalised in 1784 as the Austrian Tobacco Regie. The largest building, known as the Donaugebäude, was erected in 1847; cigars and cigarettes were rolled by hand there until the early 20th century. The k.u.k. Haupttabakfabrik peaked in 1905 with 2,500 employees. Production under Austria Tabak ended in 1964, resumed briefly in 1977 under the PTG and stopped for good in 1992.
The venue serves as a gathering place for local exhibitions, performances, and community events that shape cultural life in the region. Visitors can see how the community comes together to celebrate arts and shared occasions.
The venue sits near the Danube River and the Donau-Auen National Park within walking distance of the old town. Visitors will find exhibition spaces and event areas along with refreshment options and facilities designed for comfortable visits.
The building offers views toward the ancient Roman Limes frontier, a historic defensive boundary that is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. This proximity connects the site's industrial past with layers of much older history.
