Elementary School Hanreitergasse

The school located on a street named after the famous Austrian football player serves most of the schoolchildren in the residential district on Brünnerstrasse. That is why its volume is also enormous. Peichl effectively divided the school operations into individual building units. The most interesting part is undoubtedly the elliptical entrance section of the school, which is wrapped in corrugated metal to emphasize the oval form of the building with waves. Two side wings with classrooms define the inner courtyard, beneath which are the changing rooms and gymnasium. The school also includes an after-school club.
Peichl and Rudolf Weber created a successful example of a primary school in the 21st district of Vienna, whose greatest strength lies in the quality layout of operational units. The typical measured expression of Peichl's architecture, which can also be seen in his Bonn Art Gallery, complements the cleverly designed buildings very well.
