Rudolf-Hundstorfer-Hof "a Particularly Fitting and Worthy Memorial"

At the naming of the municipal housing in Stumpergasse, the distinguished guests honored Hundstorfer, who passed away in 2019. "Rudi was a strong personality; when things got tough, when crises loomed, he calmly rolled up his sleeves and got to work. He was an irreplaceable politician who achieved much positive for the population and a lovable companion whom we will always miss," said Vienna's Mayor Michael Ludwig about the former Federal Minister.

ÖGB President Wolfgang Katzian stated: "Rudi Hundstorfer dedicated his entire life to the service of working people. As a trade unionist, he tirelessly fought to ensure that all employees could work and live under fair, safe, and dignified conditions. The Vienna municipal housing has always stood for exactly these values. Therefore, with the opening of the Rudolf-Hundstorfer-Hof, a particularly fitting and worthy memorial is set for him."

"With the naming of the new municipal housing in Stumpergasse 56 after Rudolf Hundstorfer, we are setting a worthy sign for a person who lived in Mariahilf for many years and showed great commitment to our district. His neighborhood was very close to his heart. For decades, Rudolf Hundstorfer promoted social cohesion through his commitment in the municipal council and as Minister of Social Affairs," said Deputy District Chairwoman Julia Lessacher, also emphasizing: "The Rudolf-Hundstorfer-Hof is a prime example of modern social housing in a central Mariahilf location. Here, affordable housing, ecological standards, and intergenerational living come together - exactly the values Rudolf Hundstorfer fought for throughout his life."
