Where to stay in Harbachsiedlung
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Harbachsiedlung was laid out as housing, not as a place for visitors, and nothing in its original plan was ever meant to accommodate a stranger for the night. Expect a rented flat. Weeks work better than nights in an estate like this, where the church serves the people who live here and the nearest hotel desk is a ride away in central Linz.
Harbach gives the estate its name and little else.

About Harbachsiedlung
What are the main landmarks in Harbachsiedlung?
Kath. Pfarrkirche Hl. Markus is the estate's only listed building, a parish church raised to serve the streets that went up from 1942 and still the fixed point in a plan otherwise made of housing rows.
Nothing else is recorded. No museum, no monument, no second church. The estate's interest is the plan itself, and a walk through Harbachsiedlung reads as a lesson in mid-century Linz housing rather than as a round of sights.
What is the history of Harbachsiedlung?
1942 is the only year on the record. Harbachsiedlung carries a founding date rather than a charter, which places it among the planned estates rather than among quarters with a medieval core. The parish came with the housing.
Kath. Pfarrkirche Hl. Markus was raised to serve the new streets, while the name Harbach is older than every block standing on the site and is the single element here that predates the plan.
Where is Harbachsiedlung?
Harbachsiedlung occupies a planned corner of Linz, a grid of estate streets that took its name from the Harbach.
