Sommario/riassunto

In its time, the National Socialist housing and settlement policy may have appeared to many as a fundamental and convincing social measure for the German people. The strict uniformity of orientation was also accepted as a necessary welfare measure in order to master the overpowering housing problem. The real political intentions behind the alleged social measures remained largely unclear. The housing program has failed. A settlement concept that served armaments and was supposed to guarantee population growth for future world domination could never create the promised peaceful future. The residents of the settlement watched as new houses were put up, while bombs destroyed the recently completed buildings. The dreamed house was only available at the cost of destroying others. This book convincingly demonstrates how the transfer of National Socialist ideology via conceptual foundations, aesthetic-architectural models and socio-political strategies took place both in large-scale projects and in completed settlements in Reichsgau Vienna. Archival sources,



primary testimonials and rich image material justify the evaluations and guarantee the necessary objectivity.
