  • Housing Projects and Cityscape in Vienna: Apartment Buildings As Fortresses from Metaphor to Reality Michael J
    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History, Department of 12-1-2015 Housing Projects and Cityscape in Vienna: Apartment Buildings as Fortresses from Metaphor to Reality Michael J. Zeps S.J. Marquette University, [email protected] Unpublished paper. © 2015 The Author. Used with permission. Housing Projects and Cityscape in Vienna: Apartment Buildings as Fortresses from Metaphor to Reality Michael J. Zeps History Department, Marquette University Milwaukee, WI “But every metaphor that life shatters implies a loss of hu- man freedom. For freedom can exist only so long as fi ctions and metaphors are stronger than crude reality, and thus up- hold our dignity. In fact every shattered metaphor is nothing but the fl ag of human freedom trodden into the dust--in this case red and white.”1 The problem of whether public housing projects in Vienna were located and designed with military considerations in mind will not go away. The scorn of Ursula Prokop2 at the idea that the complex at Friedrich-Engels-Platz contained any military intent based on studying Rudolf Perco’s designs and notes, for example, can be found earlier in stronger language when the Hautmann brothers register “Homeric laughter” at similar thoughts.3 Anson Rabinbach is suspicious when he looks at the military possibilities to be found in pools, gardens, playgrounds and the like, but later in the same work he expresses certainty without, however, providing any evidence, “There can be no doubt that the houses were built with a military purpose in mind, as structures to be defended with force…”4 Generally accepted views, though, seem to follow Kurt Peball with his cool and sober dismissal of the notion for lack of documentary evidence.5 It is hard to disagree with one part of Peball’s argument that at least some of the 370 or so projects found themselves of necessity at strategic locations near bridges, major intersections, army bases, railroad terminals and the like due to sheer numbers.

Its capital, Vienna, skiing on some of the world’s finest alpine stranded during the postwar years on the slopes. edge of western Europe, is taking its place again as an important international city. 1 Vienna £ Vienna still retains much of the glory and grandeur of the empire’s heady days. Museum treasures from all over Europe, baroque palaces through which Maria Theresa and her brood wandered, Johann Strauss’s lively music, Gustav Klimt’s paint- ings, the concert halls, the unparalleled opera—it’s all still here, as if the empire were still flourishing. Tourism is growing as thousands arrive every year to view Vienna’s great art and architecture, to feast on lavish Viennese pastries, to explore the Vienna Woods, to sail down the Danube, to attend Vienna’s balls, operas, and festivals, and to listen to the “music that never stops.” Visitors today face a newer and brighter Vienna, a city with more joie de vivre and punch than it’s had since before the war. There’s also a downside: Prices are on the rise—they haven’t reached the height of the Ferris wheel at the Prater, but they’re climbing there. ESSENTIALS GETTING THERE By Plane Vienna International Airport (VIE; & 01/70070; http://english.viennaairport.com) is about 19km (12 miles) southeast of the city center.
