Haus Dellacher

Haus Dellacher in Oberwart: ein Frühwerk von Raimund Abraham

Angelina Pötschner

With its solitary location in front of a strip of forest, the building defines the hilly southern Burgenland landscape above the district capital. For a long time, the important early work of the architect who died in a car accident in Los Angeles in 2010 stood empty and was gradually threatened by decay. In 2015, a new owner was found in the person of architect Johannes Handler, who expertly carried out the elaborate restoration with great attention to detail. From the very beginning it was clear to him that the house, with its special significance for Austrian post-war modernism, should not only continue to exist as a private family home, but also have an awareness-raising effect on building culture in Burgenland. It is therefore open to the public, supervised by the association 'Das Dellacher', by appointment and hosts cultural projects on an ongoing basis.
