The city council leaves the Vienna City Hall. Where he should go, why parts of the general management of the Town Town health association have moved and what that has to do with a 25 million euro tower…
SPÖ Councilor for Health Peter Hacker leaves Vienna City Hall. Before the opposition pops the champagne corks: the castling is not a personal one, but an organizational one. As part of the renovation of the City Hall, Hacker, who is located in one of the oldest offices in the historic building, and his team must clear the floor for renovation work.
No place nearby
The surprising thing is that hackers probably didn’t find anything in the immediate area. The 28 employees must move to the healthcare network in Town Town for 1.5 years. Due to a lack of space, city councilors Michael Ludwig and Andreas Mailath-Pokorny once lived outside the city hall – but just a stone’s throw away
There is only room for hackers and teams at Thomas-Klestil-Platz in the 3rd district because parts of the General Directorate of the Health Association (Wigev) have moved to the AKH site. But not all – which leads to dissatisfaction for some. An insider: “The bosses are moving to the first floor of a luxury tower while we stay behind here.”
An accusation that the health association cannot understand. “This measure is part of a strategy. We are trying to reduce the number of rental properties in favor of properties,” explains spokeswoman Nina Brenner-Küng. “The Guglgasse location is already closed. In Town Town alone we pay 1.9 million euros in rent per year.” And so the AKH tower (a former nursing home) was renovated for around 25 million euros – the neighboring tower will start work in 2025. The rest of the Wigev staff can then arrive in 2029/2030.
And hackers? Isn’t the distance difficult in everyday life? The “Krone” heard that he would be given a room in the town hall for long working days.
