Sargfabrik Atzgersdorf

The Sargfabrik Atzgersdorf is an industrial building on Breitenfurter Straße in Liesing that stands out for its brick architecture and large windows. The structure displays typical features of early industrial factory design with clear functional layout.

The building was erected in 1916 as a coffin components factory and produced wooden goods for the local economy. After decades of operation, it was later repurposed and gained renewed importance through its protected status as a witness to industrial history.

The building shows how factories once shaped life in Vienna and what role craftsmanship held in the city's development. Visitors see today how such places are revived with new functions while their past remains visible.

The site is currently undergoing transformation into a cultural center, so visits may be limited or only possible during special events. Anyone planning a visit should check in advance whether guided tours or open house days are available.

The site is now being developed with thousands of new apartments, showing how factory areas transform into modern urban neighborhoods. This shift combines preservation of the original building with entirely new city use.
