Heilpädagogisches Kinderheim Hütteldorf, Children's therapeutic center in Hütteldorf, Vienna, Austria
The Heilpädagogisches Kinderheim Hütteldorf is a building with functional architecture in western Vienna, designed specifically for education and therapeutic care. The structure contains classrooms and residential areas that supported the daily life and teaching of students.
The building was established in the 1950s under Rudolf Häusler's leadership and operated by a private association dedicated to supporting children. After 2001, the use shifted toward a Waldorf school until its closure in 2023.
The building served as a place where school and therapeutic support worked together for children with different learning needs. The layout shows how Vienna organized education and care for vulnerable groups in a single institution.
The building is no longer in active use and can only be viewed from outside. The location is easily accessible by public transport in the Penzing district near Hackinger Kai.
The facility was known for its class teacher model, where each class was led by one teacher without specialized subject instructors. This approach allowed for a stronger relationship between educators and children facing learning challenges.
