It developed into what is probably the oldest large-scale industry in the country. After several changes of ownership, the factory was nationalized by Maria Theresa in 1754 and initially produced sheep&#8217;s wool products. Later, the factory also produced fine cashmere wool cloth, carpets, printed tablecloths and upholstery fabrics.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The factory was a pioneer of its time, introducing fixed working hours and early social welfare. It coordinated tens of thousands of home-based workers, reaching its peak in 1791: of 49,292 employees, 100 worked in the factory, all the others from home. Over the centuries, the workforce also included forced laborers, many women, and children.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The architect Johann Michael Prunner gave the building a magnificent, palatial appearance between 1722 and 1726. This masterpiece of Baroque industrial architecture was one of Linz&#8217;s main attractions for a long time, but was demolished in 1969. Only the small &#8220;Zwirnerst\u00f6ckl&#8221; still remains today.  <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"997\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/NA-063772_-Tabakfabrik-Linz_000061.jpg\" alt=\"The imperial royal Tabakfabrik in Linz in 1887 (in the buildings of the former wool factory), after a drawing by H.

Emperor Joseph II introduced the Austrian tobacco monopoly as early as 1784. This state right of sovereignty covered the cultivation, production and sale of tobacco. The monopoly was gradually extended to the entire monarchy. In order to meet the increasing demand, new production sites were to be built. After lengthy negotiations, the buildings of the former wool factory in Linz were chosen. In 1850, the building complex was acquired and adapted for tobacco production. On June 26, 1850, the Tabakfabrik Linz began operations with 70 workers.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs)\">The early years were not easy. The factory was met with skepticism by the rural population and it was difficult to find workers. Nevertheless, the production of cigars, smoking tobacco and chewing tobacco began. Initially, mainly cheap &#8220;popular cigars&#8221; were produced. However, the quality was convincing and soon more expensive varieties such as Britanica or Trabuco were added. Experienced workers from other factories were brought to Linz to start production. Working conditions were tough and wages were low, but the factory grew steadily. Nine years after opening, over 1,000 people were already employed here.       <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs)\">A new chapter began with the advent of the cigarette in the late 19th century. Machine production of cigarettes began in Linz in 1904, including the popular &#8220;Drama&#8221; and &#8220;Sport&#8221; varieties. The factory was continuously expanded and modernized, and the output increased rapidly. The First World War brought great challenges, as raw materials became scarce and even substitutes such as beech leaves had to be added. After the collapse of the monarchy, the tobacco industry lost many of its factories. Linz was restructured and, despite economic crises, developed into an important location that steadily increased production and provided work for thousands of people.      <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-rounded-container has-white-color has-behrensblau-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-ce872e2de92bfda704c1e73b8143e9a2 is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7a12f0e4e0c5f63043bb918f7a38a990\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);grid-template-columns:auto 28%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h2-small has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-776257bcc511f15546d78e88af2553a4\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs)\">Visionary architecture  <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4092da6b867f6d9055421db38fdcd393\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs)\">The Tabakfabrik, designed by architects Peter Behrens and Alexander Popp, is a milestone in Austrian industrial architecture. The buildings were constructed between 1929 and 1935 &#8211; during ongoing production, in the middle of the global economic crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7363ba1a5ad6374ec3eedd0bbc0c63de\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs)\">As one of the first steel skeleton buildings in Austria, the construction was revolutionary. This construction method not only enabled flexible interior spaces, but also continuous bands of windows. The result: bright, light-flooded workspaces that focused on the well-being of the workers. The entire architecture followed the work processes, creating a highly efficient organization.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8580c75a456c5f16580057e9623718f8\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs)\">From the architecture to the furniture to the typeface, everything was developed especially for this building.

One of the architects, Alexander Popp, had already joined the NSDAP in 1935.<br \/>Despite air raids and the partial black camouflage coloring of the factory, production continued under high pressure, with up to 50 working hours per week. From 1941, tobacco shortages hampered production; in the final phase of the war, only a single cigarette brand could be produced. In 1943, an aerial bomb hit a tobacco warehouse, whereupon the stocks were moved to the surrounding area. In April 1945, the Linz Tabakfabrik was ordered to be blown up by the Nazi regime, but courageous workers prevented its destruction.<br \/>Production continued until Linz was surrendered without a fight on May 4, 1945.     Shortly before, five communist workers and resistance fighters from the Tabakfabrik were murdered in the Mauthausen concentration camp. <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"989\" src=\"https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2025\/11\/094_St-13206-Tabakfabrik-Werkskonzert-1938.10.12_Foto-Archiv-der-Stadt-Linz-1024x989.jpg\" alt=\"National Socialists in uniform and Tabakfabrik workers at a factory concert in 1938.\" class=\"wp-image-1679 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2025\/11\/094_St-13206-Tabakfabrik-Werkskonzert-1938.10.12_Foto-Archiv-der-Stadt-Linz-1024x989.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2025\/11\/094_St-13206-Tabakfabrik-Werkskonzert-1938.10.12_Foto-Archiv-der-Stadt-Linz-300x290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2025\/11\/094_St-13206-Tabakfabrik-Werkskonzert-1938.10.12_Foto-Archiv-der-Stadt-Linz-768x742.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2025\/11\/094_St-13206-Tabakfabrik-Werkskonzert-1938.10.12_Foto-Archiv-der-Stadt-Linz-1536x1483.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2025\/11\/094_St-13206-Tabakfabrik-Werkskonzert-1938.10.12_Foto-Archiv-der-Stadt-Linz-2048x1978.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p class=\"img-copy text-right\">Archiv der Stadt Linz<\/p><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-rounded-container has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-fe3a1faccd0ee11c7274743dc5a09094 is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--none);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--none)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left is-style-h4 has-gray-900-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c18411e7e4ad68fdbb4304edcd75c076\" id=\"buchtipp-neubauten1936\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--none);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--none)\">The Tabakfabrik resistance fighters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-gray-900-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2951468a34c4ed42b970e9bae083b65d\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs)\">A few days before the end of the war, on April 28 or 29, 1945, the Linz resistance fighters and former Tabakfabrik workers <strong>Rudolf K\u00fchberger, Hugo M\u00fcller, Heinrich Obermayr, Anton Schmelensky and Josef Teufl<\/strong> were murdered by the National Socialists together with other political prisoners in the Mauthausen concentration camp.

A consistent rationalization process stated: While the number of employees shrank from 887 in 1951 to 284 in 2009, cigarette production increased enormously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1960s, the top rolling process revolutionized the production of filter cigarettes. The round cigarette became the standard and productivity continued to rise.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1980s, production and packaging machines were combined into units, which further increased efficiency. At this time, the company name, which dated back to the National Socialist era, was shortened to &#8220;Austria Tabak&#8221;. <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC2143_cmyk-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2500 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC2143_cmyk-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC2143_cmyk-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC2143_cmyk-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC2143_cmyk.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><p class=\"img-copy text-right\">Hermann Steindl<\/p><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h4 has-behrensblau-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-582a0e495554da22b2d9eda4c67eb01d\"><br \/>Privatization and the end<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The gradual privatization of Austria Tabak began in the mid-1990s. This meant that the high level of job security for employees was lost. In 2001, the company was finally sold in its entirety to the British Gallaher Group. Six years later, Japan Tobacco International (JTI) took over the Group. The focus shifted to foreign locations and the Linz factory became less important. In September 2009, JTI closed Tabakfabrik Linz down. This marked the end of the 159-year era of tobacco production at the site.      <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"imageslider-outer-wrapper highlight-color-behrensblau\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xl);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xl);\" class=\"align wp-block-acf-imageslider\"  data-block-js=\"imageslider\">\n\n\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center is-style-h2-small\">1950 to 1990<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"swiper imageslider-swiper type-images\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-navigation-wrapper behrensblau \">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-default has-behrenspastel-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);grid-template-columns:auto 28%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h2-small has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-80a429752735633dc64c1bb1bf14170a\">Social pioneer over the decades<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As a state-owned company, the Tabakfabrik set social standards early on. Factory doctors cared for the health of the workforce. There was a factory kitchen, washrooms and even a nursery. Women benefited from extended maternity protection. The company health insurance fund and the convalescent homes also bore witness to the welfare of the Austrian tobacco company.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1950s, the factory responded to the housing shortage in Linz by building more than 100 apartments. The new company kindergarten became a model facility. <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC2143_cmyk-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2500 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC2143_cmyk-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC2143_cmyk-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC2143_cmyk-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC2143_cmyk.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><p class=\"img-copy text-right\">Hermann Steindl<\/p><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"imagekachel-outer-wrapper highlight-color-behrensblau\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xl);\" class=\"align wp-block-acf-imagekachelpreview\">\n\n\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h2\">Factory kitchen, washrooms, doctor&#8217;s room &amp; kindergarten <\/h2>\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t.slider-info-928.bafg-slider-info .bafg-slider-title {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfont-size:\n\t\t\t\t\t22px\t\t\t\t;\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t.slider-info-928.bafg-slider-info .bafg-slider-description {\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t.slider-info-928.bafg-slider-info .bafg_slider_readmore_button {\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t.slider-info-928.bafg-slider-info .bafg_slider_readmore_button:hover {\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bafg-twentytwenty-container slider-928  \"\n\t\t\t\tbafg-orientation=\"horizontal\" bafg-default-offset=\"0.5\"\n\t\t\t\tbafg-before-label=\"Tabakfabrik Heute\"\n\t\t\t\tbafg-after-label=\"Tabakfabrik 1920\" bafg-overlay=\"\"\n\t\t\t\tbafg-move-slider-on-hover=\"\"\n\t\t\t\tbafg-click-to-move=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"skip-lazy\" data-skip-lazy\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2025\/08\/14_WM-5295-Untere-Donaulaende-74-Tabakfabrik-1960.08_Foto-Archiv-der-Stadt-Linz.jpg\" alt=\"Tabakfabrik heute\">\n\t\t\t\t<img class=\"skip-lazy\" data-skip-lazy\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/tabakfabrik-linz.web-email.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/03\/HOF-250918_DJI_0034_TFL_\u00a9PeterHofstaetter.jpg\" alt=\"Tabakfabrik 1930\">\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bafg-slider-info-wraper\">\n\t\t<div style=\"\" class=\"slider-info-928 bafg-slider-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-rounded-container has-white-color has-behrensblau-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-4d235dbd1a0e2e754396d17392bede4a is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--m);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s-2)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0c4dfd078ccddd71c082fd4475c7c5be\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--xs);grid-template-columns:auto 28%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h2-small has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cea9a745d63a71856d0d9af757dd4506\">Open due to renovation  <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-467791d0f2dec8a4a93e46a6760c522f\">Where cigarettes were once manufactured, thousands of people now work in more than 250 organizations.<br \/>The city of Linz acquired the site in 2009 and launched a unique development process.
