Abstract (eng)
The following thesis analyzes the reconstruction of the Austrian city Linz between 1938 and 1945 during the National Socialist regime, which heavily influenced its course, especially social housing. One of the main reasons for social housing to play an important role during that time was the merry childhood of Adolf Hitler. As a result, the "Gauhauptstadt Linz" became a central node of National Socialism as the "Führerstadt". First of all, the formation conditions of the housing programme in connection with the settlement and fortification of industry, especially of the "Hermann-Göring-Werke" are explained. Another important aspect of the housing situation during the Nazi period is the impact of architecture and the disciplining of residents on the housing construction. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the
significance of monumentum protection of an architectural legacy from the National Socialist regime in a post-war Austria for the public perception.
