History & character
From Altmannsdorf to Modern Housing
Am Schöpfwerk is the name of two municipal housing complexes in Vienna, built between 1951 and 1980. The name derives from the former Schöpfwerk Altmannsdorf, which belonged to the facilities of an ice factory. The first complex was constructed based on plans by Franz Schuster, while the second, often simply referred to as Schöpfwerk, was designed by a team led by Viktor Hufnagl. The construction followed the principles of 'Red Vienna', aiming to create affordable housing with modern amenities. The development also took into account local supply options and good public transport connections. The settlement spans an area of 18 hectares, organized in rings, and offers a variety of apartment types, from maisonettes to studio apartments. The different apartment sizes and features contribute to the diversity and quality of life for residents.

Real building heights (official Vienna building model, computed from the BEV laser scan in the surroundings), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation. In Vienna the terrain rarely matters: ten minutes in the Innere Stadt, and just as little at the Döbling vineyards, where the slope lies to the north-west and never touches the southern sun. It only tells in the Wienerwald valleys, at Kalksburg a good two hours on 21 December.
