Metzleinstaler Hof, Protected heritage building in Margareten, Vienna, Austria.

The Metzleinstaler Hof consists of two architectural sections featuring a late-historicist facade and modern communal building design with large green courtyards.

Built in 1919 under architects Robert Kalesa and Hubert Gessner, this complex marked the first municipal housing project of Red Vienna after World War I.

The building introduced new living standards with 250 apartments of 30 square meters, featuring private toilets and running water, replacing previous inadequate housing conditions.

Residents benefit from integrated facilities including a workers' club, library, kindergarten, playground, central laundry, and bathing facility with tubs and shower rooms.

Located along Margaretengürtel, this complex initiated the development of the Proletariat Ring Road, leading to 400 municipal housing projects by 1932.
