Guided tour only in German

The focus of the discussion during this tour is on different concepts of hygiene and contrasting conditions in an era of key significance in the history of Vienna, between 1860 and 1910. It was a period marked by the building and extension of the public water supply and sewage network.

Progress in the area of hygiene and the inequality between the population groups are highlighted when housing is looked at from town planning policy to the floor plans solutions in the housing sector.
