The house

A Chapter Comes to an End – with Gratitude and a Look Forward

After 65 years of a fulfilling history, the Währing Women’s Student Residence will close its doors in the summer of 2025.

Since its founding, the residence has been a temporary home for more than 2,000 female students from around the world – a place of learning, friendship, exchange, and collective growth. Countless memories are tied to this time; lifelong friendships were formed here, and paths for the future were paved.

We look back with great gratitude on all these years – filled with valuable encounters, vibrant community, and a strong sense of togetherness. This house was more than a dormitory – it was a home in the truest sense.

Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who has supported, sustained, and made this house possible over the decades – both ideologically and materially. Without this steadfast support, none of this would have been possible.

Although registrations are no longer possible, this website will remain online until the end of 2025 – as a digital memory book for a very special house and its residents.

Yet, with every ending comes a new beginning. In a new form, with fresh ideas, we are working on an innovative concept for a new place of encounter, exchange, and support for female students and young women in the heart of Vienna. It’s still too early to say more – but we remain inspired and full of anticipation for what lies ahead.

Thank you for everything. And see you soon.
The Währing Women’s Student Residence Team

  • OUR VISION

    Cultural Centre Währing

    The Villa

    Our house is also known as the "Kálmán-Villa". The operetta composer Emmerich Kálmán (1882-1953) lived here during his years in Vienna, curating his own musical salon. 

    The beauty and rich heritage of this building inform every aspect of life at Währing: fire-side chats, cultural events, concerts and much more.

    Most events are open to the public. Any proceeds go towards maintaining the building. You can find the program of the cultural centre under ‘Aktuelles’. 
     

  • OUR VISION

    WÄHRING AND OPUS DEI

    Währing is shaped by the spirit of Opus Dei (www.opusdei.at), a prelature of the Roman Catholic Church, which promotes living out Christianity in everyday life. 

    The message of St. Josemaria, our founder, and Opus Dei is to discover a new dimension to our work and everyday life through the Christian faith, living out our duties and activities as a service to God and other people. This also motivates us to strive towards excellence in our chosen fields.
