In homeless neighborhoods – “Without us, the dead would be lying on the streets”

Date:

If you can, you can escape the heat or at least seek shelter. But not all Viennese have this possibility. Homeless people are at the mercy of the temperatures – with dramatic consequences. A local “Krone” inspection in one of only two emergency shelters for homeless people in the summer.

For many people, the hot summer is the height of holiday feeling, but for a forgotten group it means one thing above all: survival. The homeless in particular suffer from the high temperatures. Katharina Hörmann confirms this, she runs the “Haus Leopoldstadt” for the Johanniter. It is one of two emergency sleeping places that are supported by the city of Vienna and that are open in the summer. Hörmann: “It sounds harmless, but for our customers the heat is sometimes life-threatening.”
