Otto Taussig founded the Otto Taussig & Co. linen factory in 1908. At this time Gaudenzdorf was actually the center of the industry in Vienna.
They manufactured exquisite collars, cuffs, shirts and ascots, as well as ladies’ lingerie.
In its best years, the business employed as many as 300 workers.

The factory closed in 1975, a point in time when cheaper clothing was being imported in ever greater quantities from the Asian region and countries of the Third World.

After the linen factory was closed, the building stood empty and appeared headed for dilapidation. But in 1990, it was purchased and renovated by the Wagner family.

Offices and a gallery for young artists were created. And in 1998, the “zur Fabrik” restaurant first opened its doors.

In October of 2008, the starting gun was fired for remodeling of the hotel, a project which was completed in July 2009. In September of that same year, the hotel celebrated its official reopening

This centrally located hotel occupies a former linen factory from the 19th century in the immediate vicinity of an underground station, letting you reach all sights of Vienna quickly.

The city centre and Schönbrunn Palace can both be reached by public transport from the Fabrik in about 7 minutes.
