350 Residents in Willi-Resetarits-Hof in Vienna-Favoriten

The recently completed complex with 165 units for 350 residents is part of the new generation of municipal buildings that the city has been constructing again for several years. It is located in the "Altes Landgut" quarter on Laxenburger Straße, not far from Humboldtplatz, where the son of Burgenland Croatian parents, born in Stinatz, grew up after the family moved to Vienna. Resetarits became a cult figure in the 1980s with "Ostbahn Kurti" and his "Chefpartie," conceived by author and composer Günter Brödl. At the end of 2003, he retired his alter ego - with the exception of some special concerts - and increasingly devoted himself to other music projects such as "Stubnblues" or collaborations with representatives of the extended Viennese song spectrum. Besides music, social and political engagement was always important to Resetarits - whether as a co-founder of "Asyl in Not" and "SOS Mitmensch" or as chairman of the association "Projekt Integrationshaus".
