Hitlerbauten, Residential buildings in Bindermichl district, Linz, Austria.

The Hitlerbauten consists of multiple residential blocks featuring large courtyards with green spaces, arranged in symmetrical patterns across several neighborhoods of Linz.

Between 1940 and 1945, these housing structures were constructed using labor from concentration camps to accommodate the rapid population growth from 112,000 to 200,000 inhabitants.

The architectural design follows the Heimatschutz style, incorporating elements of traditional Upper Austrian farmstead layouts into urban residential structures.

The residential complex contains approximately 11,000 apartments spread across different districts of Linz, including Bindermichl, Spallerhof, and Urfahr.

The granite materials used in construction were extracted from the KZ-Mauthausen concentration camp system through forced labor programs.
