Vienna/Margareten

The district is skirted along the north by the underground line  U4 , and crossed by buses 13A and 14A.

• Margareten Platz. The biggest older square in Margareten. 
  • 🌍 Margareten-Hof. Built by the architects Ferdinand Fellner und Hermann Helmer in 1884/85. 
  • 🌍 Margaretenbrunnen. It was built to thank for the access to the fresh water pipeline going to the central imperial palace for Margareten in 1835/36. It features Saint Margarete killing a dragon. 
• 🌍 Matzleinsdorfer Pfarrkirche (Florianikirche / Church of St Florian), Wiedner Hauptstraße 97, ☏ +43 1 54514150. Two previous churches were located here, the most recent a Baroque building from the 18th century, which despite massive popular protest was demolished in 1965 due to traffic considerations. The new steel and concrete church was designed by the German architect Rudolf Schwarz and built between 1961-1965. A defining characteristic is the interplay of light concrete and dark glass, with the entry side featuring an oversized cross motif, and the side featuring a herringbone pattern. The main altar from the old church, painted by F.X. Wagenschön and depicting the transfiguration of St Florian, is now located in the organ loft of the new church. 
• The "Red Vienna": Community Housing of the 1920s and 1930s, along Margaretengürtel (Tramway 6, 18: Arbeitergasse or Eichenstraße). Gates close in the evening. During a short period from 1919 to 1933, the city of Vienna erected some 65,000 apartments of high quality for the impoverished working class. Highly noticeable is also the contemporary architecture of these buildings all across town, of which several interesting ones are clustered on a short stretch along Gürtel road. The style ranges from Art Déco to modernistic, the buildings have courtyards and often resemble fortresses – as which they were even used during the civil war 1934. Look out for the 1920s 🌍 Reumannhof, 🌍 Metzleinsthaler Hof, 🌍 Matteottihof, or the 1950s high rise building of Matzleinsdorf just nearby. Show respect while visiting, as these are living houses and not tourist attractions in the first place. Free. (updated Aug 2015)
