Kulturzentrum Mattersburg, Brutalist cultural center in Mattersburg, Austria
The Kulturzentrum Mattersburg features exposed concrete walls, angular forms, and distinct staircases that exemplify the architectural characteristics of 1970s brutalism.
The center, designed by architect Herwig Udo Graf following a competition in 1973, opened its doors in May 1976 as the first cultural institution of its kind in Austria.
The facility established a model for additional cultural centers across Burgenland, addressing the region's need for performance venues, exhibition spaces, and educational facilities.
The center contains a main auditorium accommodating 550 people, multiple seminar rooms, a foyer with buffet services, and recreational spaces for community activities.
Despite facing demolition threats in 2019, parts of the structure received protected landmark status in 2016, including sections of the exterior walls and an inscription stone.
