Wohnprojekt Wien is a self-managed co-housing community in Leopoldstadt, Vienna’s second district, located at Krakauer Straße 19, 1020 Vienna, beside Rudolf-Bednar-Park on the former Nordbahnhof railway site.125 The project was initiated in 2009 by a group of private individuals and formally organised through the Verein für nachhaltiges Leben.35 Heinz Feldmann is identified as the association’s initiator.10
The community’s building was completed in December 2013 and occupied from that year.135 It accommodates approximately 100 residents—around 70 adults and 30 children—in 39 housing units, with the organisation’s website also referring to 40 units in its current description.12 The building includes approximately 700 square metres of shared space.1
Wohnprojekt Wien combines housing with collective decision-making and shared ownership. The Verein für nachhaltiges Leben owns the building, while all residents are association members and rent their individual homes; this structure allows residents to decide collectively on matters including rents, energy systems and common areas.2 The project was developed through participatory planning and is intended to support social, ecological and economic sustainability, as well as intergenerational and intercultural living.15
Its activities extend beyond residential management. The community operates shared facilities, offers rooms for events and runs Salon am Park, a neighbourhood café and grocery shop serving bread and coffee.1 The project’s documented activities and facilities are concentrated at its Vienna site, indicating a local geographic scope rather than a national or international operating network.15
