The Revitalization of the Marienthal Workers’ Settlement
At
the end of the 1980s a rethinking took place in Gramatneusiedl. Instead
of pulling down the few still-existing relicts of old Marienthal, the
community of Gramatneusiedl began a revitalization of the Marienthal
workers’ settlement (Hauptstraße) in 1887, which was successfully brought to an
end in 2002. The revitalization, lead by the architect
Josef Hums
(born 1941), Gramatneusiedl, was a sort of social project itself: during the
entire process of rebuilding and renovation the – mainly elderly –
inhabitants could stay in their apartments.
