The city council leaves the Vienna City Hall. Where he has to 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…
City Councilor for Health Peter Hacker from the SPÖ leaves the 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 town hall renovation, Hacker, who is based in one of the oldest offices in the historic building, has to vacate the floor with his team for renovation work. No space nearby. What is surprising is that there is probably nothing for Hacker in the immediate vicinity. The 28 employees have to move to the health network in Town Town for 1.5 years. Due to a lack of space, the city councilors Michael Ludwig and Andreas Mailath-Pokorny once resided outside the town hall – but only a stone’s throw away. There is only space for hackers and teams at Thomas-Klestil-Platz in the 3rd district because parts of the general directorate of the health association (Wigev ) have settled on the AKH site. But not all of them – which causes dissatisfaction among 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 rented properties in favor of those owned,” explains spokeswoman Nina Brenner-Küng. “The Guglgasse location has already been closed. In Town Town alone we pay 1.9 million euros in rent per year.” And so the AKH Tower (a former nurses’ home) was renovated for around 25 million euros – the neighboring tower will start work in 2025. The rest of the Wigev workforce can So then come 2029/2030. And hackers? Isn’t the distance difficult in everyday life? The “Krone” learned that he would be provided with a room in the town hall for long working days.
