Heuberg, Mountain summit in Vienna, Austria.
Heuberg is a 464-metre summit in Vienna's 17th district, Hernals, in the northern Vienna Woods, southwest of Neuwaldegg Palace. It lies on a line with the Satzberg, the Gallitzinberg and the heights of the Kreuzeichenwiese. Its south-eastern flank holds the Heubergsiedlung, a settlement of the 1920s.
In 1921 the City of Vienna appointed Adolf Loos, together with Hugo Mayer, as chief architect of the settlement office to plan the Heubergsiedlung on the mountain's southeastern flank. Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, working under Loos, designed two house units for the estate. Few of the original buildings from the settlers' movement survive today.
The Heubergsiedlung on the south-eastern slope grew out of the settlers' movement of the early 1920s. In 1921 the City of Vienna named Adolf Loos, working with Hugo Mayer, chief architect of the settlement office to plan it, and Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, then on Loos's staff, designed two of the house units. Few of the original buildings survive unaltered.
The summit lies in Vienna's 17th district, Hernals, about 8 km west of the city centre, southwest of Neuwaldegg Palace. The Heubergsiedlung estate sits on the southeastern flank, so the approach passes housing before the wooded top. The hill rises 103 m above the surrounding terrain.
The Heubergsiedlung on the southeastern slope was planned from 1921 by Adolf Loos, chief architect of Vienna's settlement office, together with Hugo Mayer; Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, working under Loos, designed two house units. Few of the original buildings remain unchanged.
