Goethesiedlung tenants:

“Why should I be evicted here?”

The tenants of a building in the Goethesiedlung in Salzburg have been waiting years for a refurbishment. Even small improvements take far too long.

A lot of work has been done on the Goethesiedlung estate in recent years. Almost all of the existing houses on the estate, which is shared by several non-profit housing developers, have been renovated. Only one house on the estate still stands almost as it did when it was built in 1973. It is that of Heimat Österreich. Doris Speierle-Vidali has lived in the large apartment block with her husband for decades.
