Vorwärts Gebäude, Protected architectural monument in Margareten, Vienna

The Vorwärts-Gebäude stands at Rechte Wienzeile 97 in Margareten, built between 1907 and 1909 to plans by the brothers Franz and Hubert Gessner. Its facade carries a decorative clock, flanked by stone figures of a male and a female worker carved by Anton Hanak in 1910. The complex once comprised more than the main building; the publishing house beside it was demolished after 1986 and replaced by a hotel.

The building was established as headquarters for the Social Democratic Workers' Party and housed the printing facility for the Arbeiter-Zeitung newspaper. Before World War I, it served as a meeting place for influential political figures including Leon Trotsky and Nikolai Bukharin.

The name comes from the Vorwärts-Verlag publishing house and its newspaper, whose title means "forward". The stone figures of a male and a female worker flanking the clock were carved by Anton Hanak in 1910. A plaque unveiled on 18 June 1965 on the building commemorates actor Hans Moser, born in a house at Rechte Wienzeile 93 that was demolished for the new building.

The building is located at Rechte Wienzeile 97 and is easily visible from the street. Today it houses the Association for the History of the Labor Movement and the Bruno Kreisky Foundation, which maintain their collections and archives within its walls.

The publisher moved to Viehmarktgasse 4 in the 3rd district in 1986; afterwards the outdated publishing wing was demolished and a hotel built on its site, leaving only the main building. A plaque unveiled on 18 June 1965 honours actor Hans Moser, born in a house at Rechte Wienzeile 93 that was torn down for the new building.
