Hitlerbauten

Especially in the districts Bindermichl, Spallerhof and Urfahr, but also in other parts of the city numerous Hitler buildings were built.

Also in other Upper Austrian cities, this designation is customary for residential buildings from the Nazi era, for example in Steyr-Münichholz.

Residential construction is a consequence of the industrial settlement in Linz during the Nazi era, which aggravated the housing shortage that had existed since the interwar period.

For the construction work also forced laborers and prisoners of war were forcibly drafted and the material in the KZ-Mauthausen and subcamps.

In addition to the large housing blocks for the workers, which are architecturally the Heimatschutz architecture based on the shape of Upper Austrian square farmstead (Vierkanthof), also single and multi-family houses for senior employees, officers, etc.
