Due to the housing shortage caused by the First World War, more and more people built simple dwellings on the city limits. The first buildings were still illegal, but after three mass demonstrations, the City of Vienna finally supported this movement for practical reasons. In 1921, the Gemeinwirtschaftliche Siedlungs- und Baustoffanstalt (Gesiba) was founded, with whose help around 3,000 settler houses had been built by the end of 1925.
This walk focuses on the Werkbundsiedlung, planned in cooperation with over 30 Austrian and foreign architects (including Adolf Loos, Josef Hoffmann, Margarethe Schütte-Lihotzky, and Josef Frank), as well as the nearby Lockerwiesensiedlung, built by Karl Schartelmüller in two phases as a mixture of apartment buildings and terraced houses.
