Hammerbrotwerke Schwechat, Protected heritage industrial complex in Schwechat, Austria

The Hammerbrotwerke spans 50,000 square meters and features brick construction with Art Nouveau architectural elements throughout its multiple buildings.

Built in 1909 by architect brothers Hubert and Franz Gessner, this industrial bakery processed 100,000 kilograms of flour daily to supply bread to Vienna.

The factory represents an early example of cooperative industrial production, modeled after the Vooruit bakery in Ghent, Belgium.

The site ceased operations in 1972 and underwent ownership changes, with current plans for conversion into residential units and commercial spaces.

The grounds contain numerous trees and will transform into a central park within a new district, maintaining its protected monument status.
