Karl Marx Hof, Wien Karl Marx Hof is the symbol of the 398 housing complexes which were built in Vienna between the wars by the social democratic city council (1919-34) and immortalized in a workers' song as the "little red brick to build a new world". Karl Marx Hof, in its brick red and ochre colors, was built with 25 million bricks between 1927 and 1930 to a design by Karl Ehn and contains some 1,600 flats and communal facilities grouped around several inner courtyard gardens (about 80% of the Karl Marx complex is made up of parks and gardens). In February 1934 Karl Marx Hof was the center of the riots between left-wing workers and right-wing extremists and was stormed by the army to suppress the uprising. www.planetware.com /vienna/wien-karl-marx-hof-a-w-kmh.htm   (271 words)

Karl-Marx-Hof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gardens were then built in the area, but these were removed in the middle of the 1920s to make room for the erection of the third-largest housing development in Vienna, a program undertaken by the social democrats.

Vienna's housing policies, embodied in the 76-year-old Karl Marx Hof housing project, were put in place after the Hapsburg Empire disintegrated at the end of World War I.

[No title] The basic model was adapted by Ehn (1973) and used as the original frame of the model for participation and negotiations based on union involvement in information systems development.

[No title] Its object is to explore the importance that connection in turn gives architecture as an instrument of social leadership and a vivid and enduring form of public disclosure. Students will study and "read" works like the Karl Marx Hof, the Viceroy's Palace, the League of Nations, UNAM, Pruitt-Igoe, Battery Park City, Experience Music and the Reichstag for the case each of them seeks to make for the policies that brought them into being. The study will be intended to bring out the full range of interests - social, political, financial and artistic - reconciled in their expression and to understand the role of architecture in making sense of these undertakings in the light of then-current understandings of the demands of the human condition. www.arch.columbia.edu /gsap/2298/7   (746 words)

Virtual Vienna Net Community - Red Vienna: A Workers' Paradise. The government constructed 400 apartment complexes--64,000 new apartments in all--that together housed one-tenth of the city's population. Against the backdrop of severe food and housing shortages produced by both the military defeat and the collapse of the monarchy, the Social Democrats won a significant electoral victory in the municipal elections of May 1919, making Vienna the first major European capital to be governed by an absolute majority of socialists. As Blau writes, when the guns of the fascist paramilitary fired on the Karl-Marx-Hof in February 1934, "it was the idea, not the buildings, of Red Vienna that they destroyed." Indeed, several of Red Vienna's most prominent architects, notably Ehn, went on to design buildings for the Nazis, a sad coda to the socialists' defeat. www.virtualvienna.net /community/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=194   (1662 words)

Public Hausing | Metropolis Magazine | October 1999 Lacking a firm architectural or town-planning vision, the city enlisted several students of Vienna's most prominent prewar architect, Otto Wagner, who is now best known for his Postsparkasse (Postal Savings Bank), to design large-scale public housing. The city building agency, Blau argues, "favored a neovernacular architecture," and Wagner's students, notably Josef Hoffmann, Hubert Gessner, and Karl Ehn, seemed best qualified to create it, despite their lack of socialist credentials. By devoting close attention to Red Vienna's built environment, planners, and architects, Blau has shifted discussion from the polemical arguments of socialist leaders to the way in which the Gemeindebauten successfully "established a new relationship between private and public space... www.metropolismag.com /html/content_1099/oc99ph.htm   (1655 words)

The rebellion spreads to major ports and cities, including Berlin, where the Spartacist Uprising is led by socialists Rosa Luxemburg (1870–1919) and Karl Liebknecht (1871–1919), both of whom are assassinated by government militia. The program's aspirations are exemplified by the Heiligenstadt Houses (Karl Marx Hof, 1927–30), designed by Karl Ehn (1884–1957), a student of Otto Wagner. www.metmuseum.org /toah/ht/11/euwcm/ht11euwcm.htm   (5669 words)

The Fall and Rise of Austrian Architecture He recasts the neoclassical facade in a postmodern pastiche of familiar expressionist symbols, using a female figure from a controversial Klimt mural set off against a segment from Karl Ehn's Karl-Marx Hof (Vienna, 1927) -- the two together embodying the antipodal realms of the exhibition's title. the Klimt mural was, as was often the case, a scandal, while the Karl Marx Hof recalls an impoverished period in Vienna's recent history wherein subsidized housing appeared as a means of salvation. The Klimt figure reappears around the same time in the interior of the New Haas Haus, with arms raised in victory, hardly unaware of the candor with which she stands amid this new and controversial architectural form. www.brickhaus.com /amoore/magazine/austr.html   (3450 words)

The Architecture of Red Vienna 1919-1934 by Eric Mumford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) He was joined in this effort by Lihotzky, a few years before she designed the Taylorized Frankfurt kitchen for the more architecturally radical housing being built there under Ernst May's direction. Shifts in the city administration in Vienna ended this settlement movement by 1924, and Karl Ehn, a Wagner student, led the way towards the building of large perimeter block apartment houses, of which his Karl Marx Hof of 1928 is the best known. After being stormed by Austrian fascist militias in 1934, the Red Vienna housing blocks became symbols of defeat, even as some of their architects, like Ehn, were able to continue to work under subsequent regimes. www.utpjournals.com /product/utq/701/vienna139.html   (655 words)
