Meldemannstraße dormitory, Public dormitory in Brigittenau, Vienna, Austria.

The Meldemannstraße dormitory stretches across Meldemannstraße 25-29, featuring four upper stories with individual cabins measuring 1.4 by 2.17 meters each.

Operating from 1905 to 2003, this establishment provided accommodation for men at 2.50 crowns per week, addressing the housing needs of workers in Vienna.

The dormitory included communal spaces with a reading room containing daily newspapers, a library, and workshops for shoemakers and tailors in the basement.

The facility contained modern amenities for its time, including gas lamps, electric lights, steam heating, washrooms, showers, and an on-site physician.

Adolf Hitler resided in this dormitory from 1910 to 1913, spending time in the non-smoking reading area creating paintings and discussing politics.
