Fuchsenfeldhof, Municipal residential complex in Meidling, Vienna, Austria.
The Fuchsenfeldhof is a residential complex in Meidling containing 481 apartments distributed across four connected courtyards. Arches link these spaces together and provide multiple access points from the surrounding streets.
Built between 1922 and 1925, it was the first housing project financed by Vienna's housing tax. This development marked the start of a new era in the city's social housing program.
The complex takes its name from a fox head fountain located in one of its courtyards, a detail that shapes the place's identity. Residents move through the connected courtyards, passing sculptures of children making music and using shared spaces that bring the community together.
Access is available from Längenfeldgasse 68 and from Karl-Löwe-Gasse, Aßmayergasse, and Murlingengasse, creating multiple pathways through the complex. Visitors can freely explore the courtyards and open areas without special equipment or preparation.
During the February 1934 fighting, the complex served as a stronghold for the Republican Protection League resisting the Austrofascist government. This chapter makes the site a quiet witness to a turbulent period in Vienna's past.
