Lebenscampus Wolfganggasse

In Meidling, Vienna’s 12th district, a new neighborhood was formed, as part of which a ca. 31,000 m² site that formerly housed facilities of light rail operator Wiener Lokalbahnen has being turned into a diverse and integrative home for social projects related to housing, education, diversity, and intergenerational living. 

ÖJAB is playing a major role in shaping this new neighborhood with the following projects for young people, the aged, and the pursuit of education: 

ÖJAB’s Viennese nursing residence has been rebuilt: ÖJAB-Pflegewohnhaus Neumargareten – Wohlfühlen am Lebenscampus opened in early October 2022. 

Next door here at “Lebenscampus Wolfganggasse”, ÖJAB simultaneously opened its new student and youth dormitory ÖJAB-Haus Remise. This facility also offers a home to members of different generations as well as formerly unhoused individuals, and it also includes space for the support center of our home care operation ÖJAB-Hauskrankenpflege Neumargareten. 

Neighboring buildings at Lebenscampus Wolfganggasse provide a new home for two ÖJAB educational facilities: ÖJAB’s BPI (Berufspädagogisches Institut – Vocational Training Institute) with its training center, European educational work and the career orientation program AusbildungsFit ÖJAB – Bildung, Perspektive, Integration.

Future years will also see the PSÖ – Pflegeschule der ÖJAB (a school for caregiving professions) move into facilities here. 

A new ÖJAB intergenerational residence is likewise planned. 

ÖJAB has been active in Vienna’s 12th district of Meidling for nearly five decades with social projects focused on housing, nursing care, and education. Before "Lebenscampus Wolfganggasse" was formed, seven of ÖJAB’s ca. 40 Austrian locations were in Meidling. At the Wolfganggasse site, ÖJAB is now bundling its previous social initiatives in a new form and supplementing them with new offerings.
