If you want to learn more about the ‘Red Vienna’ of the 1920s/30s, I recommend a guided tour of the Karl Marx Courtyard and the Washhouse Museum. I learned a lot about historical socialist housing policy & puppet theatre about trade union labour struggles. The Karl Marx Courtyard, which is over a kilometre long, could be seen as a historical forerunner of the #superblock concept with over 1,300 flats, businesses, and social infrastructure.

Framed poster in the Washhouse Museum in Vienna: It pictures a black-and-white collage of buildings from the "Red Vienna" period. On a red background is a German text: "The Red Vienna. Washhouse Nr. 2, Karl Marx Courtyard"

Worth the 12 Euro (entry to Washhouse included).
