Springer-Schlösschen, Protected castle in Meidling, Austria.

The Springer-Schlösschen is a villa in Meidling, at Tivoligasse 73, built in 1887 by the Fellner & Helmer office for industrialist Gustav von Springer. It stands in a 40,000 m² park and is a listed monument. The building now serves as a seminar house and event venue with an attached seminar hotel.

Carl von Hügel, chief gardener of Schönbrunn, owned the 40,000 m² park and planted it alongside the neighbouring palace grounds. Gustav von Springer bought the estate and had Fellner & Helmer build the villa in 1887. His daughter Maria Cäcilia inherited it in 1920 and emigrated to France in 1936. At the end of 1939 the Nazis seized it as Jewish property and turned it into a Gauführerschule; in 1953 she sold it to the Wiener Volksheime, and in 1975 the ÖVP's Politische Akademie converted it into a seminar hotel.

The house is named after Gustav von Springer, who bought the Hügel family's parkland and had the villa built in 1887. His daughter Maria Cäcilia inherited it in 1920 but came from Paris only about twice a year before emigrating to France in 1936. Since 1975 it has served as a seminar hotel, and in 2024 the ÖVP moved its academy out while keeping the building as Campus Tivoli.

The villa stands at Tivoligasse 73 in Meidling, a short walk from the Schönbrunn palace park, whose grounds border the site. Since the Political Academy moved out in 2024, the building has been run by the ÖVP as Campus Tivoli, so access follows its seminar and event operations rather than those of a public hotel.

The park surrounding the castle contains around 170 protected natural monuments that testify to Carl von Hügel's horticultural expertise from the 19th century. This collection makes the site a living legacy of Viennese garden culture.
