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

The Metzleinstaler Hof is a municipal housing complex at Margaretengürtel 90–98 in Margareten, Vienna. Its first section, completed in 1920 to a design by Robert Kalesa, has plain facades and direct light in every room; the second section, finished in 1923/24 by Hubert Gessner, carries colored majolica reliefs on windows and facades. Staircases open onto the courtyard.

Planned during World War I, the Metzleinstaler Hof was begun in 1919 and completed in winter 1920 to a design by Robert Kalesa under mayor Jakob Reumann. A second section by Hubert Gessner followed in 1923/24, bringing the complex to 244 flats. It is counted as Vienna's first "genuine" municipal housing estate because, unlike the low Mareschsiedlung, it matched the later Rotes Wien type.

The name Hof reflects the traditional Viennese building style where apartments are organized around a central courtyard. The layout shows how shared spaces and common facilities were meant to strengthen community life.

The complex sits along Margaretengürtel and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should remember this is a residential area where residents' privacy should be respected.

The complex is often called Vienna's first "genuine" municipal housing, though the Mareschsiedlung in the 15th district was completed in the same years. The distinction rests on its structure: unlike that one-storey garden settlement, the Metzleinstaler Hof already matched the look of the later Red Vienna housing estates.
