The exhibition "DIE RINGSTRASSE DES PROLETARIATS. EIN GEGENENWURF" (The Ringstrasse of the Proletariat. A Counter-Proposal) delved into Vienna's significant social housing projects constructed between 1919 and 1933. As a response to the imperial Ringstrasse built 150 years prior, the 'Red Vienna' initiative aimed to create dignified and affordable housing for the working population. The exhibition focused on the Margaretengürtel area, known as the 'Ringstrasse des Proletariats,' where approximately 24 monumental buildings were erected, reflecting new political power structures in post-WWI Vienna. Beyond the architecture, which ranged from expressive to timelessly modern, the exhibition shed light on the internal workings of these social housing estates. It detailed the integrated infrastructure designed to improve residents' quality of life. Visitors were provided with a specially designed map to explore the key municipal housing buildings in the area independently, offering a tangible connection to the exhibition's themes. The opening was attended by descendants of architects Heinrich Schmid and Hermann Aichinger.
