The Locality of Marienthal
Besides the factory there were a lot of institutions established by the
management of the Marienthal factory for its workers. First of all,
there were the workers’ settlements and boarding-houses (Altgebäude,
Neugebäude, Marienthal workers’ settlement in the Hauptstraße,
Hinterbrühl, artisans’ settlement in the Dr. Löw-Gasse, Mautner-Haus). In
addition, there was the factory hospital with baths and showers, the
house for the workers’ co-operative society, as well as the Traiteurie
(factory restaurant) with its own garden and a dance and theatre
building.
