The Marienthal Workmen’s Clubhouse
The
building most mentioned in the Marienthal study apart from the factory
is the Marienthal Workmen’s Clubhouse, which was built by Marienthal
workers by themselves in 1926. Since that time it was the meeting point
of Marienthal and was also used by the researchers of the Marienthal
study as observation post. Next to the Marienthal Workmen’s Clubhouse
the Clubhouse of the Children’s Friends was erected, also in 1926, as
meeting point of the social democratic youth organization. The two
buildings were the only ones on the grounds of Gramatneusiedl that have
not been in the possession of the Marienthal textile factory.
