    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History Department 1-1-2011 Documents of Baudirektion Wien 1919-1941: Notes of Michael J. Zeps, S.J. Michael J. Zeps S.J. Marquette University, [email protected] Preface While doing research in Vienna for my dissertation on relations between Church and State in Austria between the wars I became intrigued by the outward appearance of the public housing projects put up by Red Vienna at the same time. They seemed to have a martial cast to them not at all restricted to the famous Karl-Marx-Hof so, against advice that I would find nothing, I decided to see what could be found in the archives of the Stadtbauamt to tie the architecture of the program to the civil war of 1934 when the structures became the principal focus of conflict. I found no direct tie anywhere in the documents but uncovered some circumstantial evidence that might be explored in the future. One reason for publishing these notes is to save researchers from the same dead end I ran into. This is not to say no evidence was ever present because there are many missing documents in the sequence which might turn up in the future—there is more than one complaint to be found about staff members taking documents and not returning them—and the socialists who controlled the records had an interest in denying any connection both before and after the civil war. Certain kinds of records are simply not there including assessments of personnel which are in the files of the Magistratsdirektion not accessible to the public and minutes of most meetings within the various Magistrats Abteilungen connected with the program.

  • Zur Geschichte Der Feuerwehr in Mariahilf
    Zur Geschichte der Feuerwehr in Mariahilf Zur Geschichte der Berufsfeuerwehr in Wien Monarchie1 Das genaue Gründungsdatum der Wiener Berufsfeuerwehr ist nicht bekannt. In einer aus dem Jahr 1686 stammenden Instruktion eines Herrn Unterkämmerers bei Gem. Wien wird die Entlohnung von vier Feuerknechten mit zwei Gulden Wochenlohn erwähnt. Dieses Jahr gilt daher als Gründungsjahr der Wiener Feuerwehr. Im Brandfall wurden diese vier Männer aus Handwerkern, vor allem von Zimmerleuten und Rauchfangkehrern, rekrutiert. Ansonsten standen sie der Stadt Wien für handwerkliche Arbeiten zur Verfügung. Stationiert waren sie im Unter- kammeramt Am Hof 9. Kaiser Leopold I. (1688) und Maria Theresia (1759) erließen neue Feuerlösch- ordnungen. Maria Theresia verstärkte außerdem den Mannschaftsstand und das Personal wurde ständig angestellt. Seit 1527 hatte der Türmer des Stephansdoms den Auftrag, mit einer roten Fahne beziehungsweise einer roten Laterne jene Richtung anzuzeigen, in der er einen Brand entdeckt hatte. Ein bis dahin verwendetes Sprechrohr wurde 1836 durch ein Blechrohr ersetzt, in dem verschraubbare Beinkugeln mit einer geschriebenen Nach- richt darin nach unten rollten, um dann weiter zur Löschanstalt Am Hof gebracht zu werden. Im Jahr 1855 wurde eine Telegrafenverbindung zwischen der Türmerstube und der Zentrallöschanstalt Am Hof eingerichtet. 1866 wurde der Türmer auf dem Südturm des Stephansdoms durch Feuerwehrmänner e- rsetzt, die für diesen Dienst eine Zulage erhielten. Dampfspritze. Bildquelle: Annelies Umlauf-Lamatsch, Traraaa…. Die Feuerwehr! Grafik Kurt Röschl. Bezirksmuseum Mariahilf Das Jahr 1786 brachte die Uniformierung der Löschmannschaften. Ihnen wurde die Stadtlivree (langer weißer Zwilchrock, lange weiße Zwilchhose, schwarzer Zylinder mit Stadtwappen) zuerkannt. Diese Uniform wurde bis 1854 getragen.

  • Analysing Spatial Patterns of Social Housing Schemes in Vienna and Copenhagen
    MASTERARBEIT Titel der Masterarbeit Location of Social Housing: Analysing spatial patterns of social housing schemes in Vienna and Copenhagen Verfasserin DI Sandra Jurasszovich angestrebter akademischer Grad Master of Arts (MA) Wien, 1. September 2015 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 066 664 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Masterstudium DDP Urban Studies Betreuer: Prof. Dr. Jesús Leal (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) Sandra Jurasszovich Location of Social Housing: Analysing spatial spatial patterns of social housing schemes in Vienna and Copenhagen Erasmus Mundus Master Course in Urban Studies [4Cities] 2013-2015 1st of September 2015 Supervisor: Jesús Leal Abstract Providing social housing is a crucial subject in current political debate as well as in scientific literature. When examining the topic of social housing there are two major issues: firstly, what socio- demographic groups are entitled to benefit from social housing and how has the socio-economic composition changed over the last decades? And secondly, where in a city are social housing units built? The latter question, which is related to the planning system of a city, is oftentimes underestimated, disregarded or simply overlooked in literature covering social housing in Europe. This thesis addresses exactly this problem, its objective being the identification of how the planning systems are used to influence the location of social housing developments across urban space by the example of Vienna and Copenhagen. Both cities have repeatedly been appraised as being amongst the most liveable cities worldwide. As a result of their increasing attractiveness as a place to live in, land and housing prices have been soaring. The research underlines that the possibilities for providers of social housing are limited considerably by high land price.

Furthermore, I find it interesting to read a German text as well as its English translation and compare how the original and the translation express the same story. As a double major in German and Linguistics, I have learned a lot about the structure of language and crosslinguistic differences that make each language unique. Translation was the perfect way to engage creatively with each language and its unique linguistic features. Moreover, since literary works are not only concerned with linguistic creativity but also reflect the culture of the respective linguistic community, translation is an important facet of cross-cultural communication.

  • Municipal Housing in Vienna. History, Facts & Figures
    Municipal Housing in Vienna. History, facts & figures DID YOU KNOW? A great achievement The Karl-Marx-Hof extends over 1,100 metres along Heiligenstädter Straße, making it the longest contiguous residential building in the world. The complex covers an area of more than 150,000 m2, of which only just under 20 per cent are built up; the remainder is taken up by green spaces, footpaths and children’s playgrounds. A slight difference Anyone who has ever been baffled by the in- scription on the façade of a municipal housing complex on Obkirchergasse in Döbling can put their mind at rest: “Karl-Mark-Hof” is not a spelling mistake. The complex, built in 1924/25, may be in the same district of Vienna as its considerably larger and better-known brother, the Karl-Marx-Hof, but it is named after the Social Democrat politician Karl Mark (1900–91), Member of Parliament and president of the adult education association Wiener Volksbildungswerk. A proud record 1900: Vienna has over 2 million inhabitants, 300,000 of whom have no home of their own. 1934: One in ten Viennese citizens lives in municipal housing. 2016: One in four Viennese citizens lives in municipal housing. Karl-Marx-Hof, 19th district PREFACE Dear reader, giving people access to “light, fresh air and sunshine”, while also providing them with nurseries, schools, just like the giant lending libraries and communal facilities such as Ferris wheel or laundry rooms. St. Stephen’s Between the ground-breaking ceremony for Vienna’s Cathedral, the first municipal housing complex, the Metzleinstaler Karl-Marx-Hof Hof, in 1919 and the ongoing SMART flats programme, has long since together with its commitment to start constructing become a new municipal housing from 2015 onwards, the City of Viennese land- Vienna has built 220,000 municipal dwellings for half a mark.
