In the Goethehof, a municiapal residential complex with 677 apartments in Kaisermühlen, a neighbourhood of Donaustadt, the 22nd district of Vienna. It was built in the years 1929–1930.
Goethehof is a so-called Gemeindebau, which is the German word for "municipality building" (pl. Gemeindebauten).
"Gemeindebauten have become an important part of the architecture and culture of Vienna since the 1920s. Up to 1918, the housing conditions of Vienna's growing working class were appalling by modern standards. When the Social Democratic Party of Austria gained control of the municipal administration during Austria's First Republic (1918-1934) (so called "Red Vienna"), it began the project of improving living conditions for workers. A large number of Gemeindebauten, usually large residential estates, were built during that time. Including those buildings that were finished after the events of February 1934, 64,000 apartments where completed, which created housing space for about 220,000 people. Apartments were assigned on the basis of a point system favoring families and less affluent citizens.
The classic interwar Gemeindebauten typically have a main entrance with a large gate, through which one enters into a yard. Inside, there are trees and some greenery, where children can play without having to go out on the street. Apartments are accessed from the inside.
This fortress-like structure made the buildings adaptable to military use. Several Gemeindebauten in Vienna [...] were sites of fighting during the Austrian Civil War of February 1934, when they were defended as Social Democratic Party strongholds." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeindebau
The last also applies to the Goethehof. On 14 February 1934, it was fired upon by the military with machine guns, howitzers and cannons, and even an air raid was flown against it.

In der Puchsbaumgasse
I took this picture during a photo stroll in my neighbourhood in Favoriten, the 10th district of Vienna.
On the left you can see a part of a municipal residential complex built in the years 1936-1938, i.e. in times of Austrofascism, but nevertheless following the Red Vienna Gemeindebau tradition.
