Where do the bricks come from?

Hardly anything has shaped the district of Favoriten as much as the brick industry – the people, the buildings, the infrastructure. It attracted workers from Bohemia and Moravia for jobs in brick production. The 10th district became the most densely populated in Vienna. What role did the old established firm of Wienerberger play in this? How did the so-called “Ziegelböhm” – the “Brick Bohemians” – influence the district and the rest of Vienna? And what parallels can we find in today’s image of Favoriten?
