Vienna in Autumn
Josef Frank's Werkbundsiedlung


Indian Summer Afternoon
Werkbundsiedlung
13th District


"Vienna’s Werkbundsiedlung,
a workers’ association housing complex,
is one of the few Werkbund ensembles
from the 1920s and 1930s
that remains intact."


"Thirty-one renowned architects,
including Josef Hoffmann and Adolf Loos,
worked under the direction of Josef Frank
and constructed the modernist architectural complex in 1932."


Quoted from
The World Monuments Fund
"Wiener Werkbundsiedlung"

  1. Wow, it must have been quite something in it's day. I would never have guessed it was built as early the 30's.
