Das Fünferhaus ist eine Einrichtung des Vereins Wiener Jugendzentren und versteht sich als ein offener Treffpunkt und Ort der Kommunikation im 5. Wiener Gemeindebezirk.
Das Haus wurde im Jahr 1964 als Haus der Jugend eröffnet.
In den 80iger Jahren wurde eine gemeinwesenorientierte interkulturelle Konzeption entwickelt, die auf einen sozialräumlichen Ansatz beruht.
Daraus wurde ein diversitätpädagogisches Konzept entwickelt das sich in der Heterogenität der BesucherInnen widerspiegelt.

The Center is a meeting-point for all kinds of groups with different backgrounds. Among others, our work focuses on offering a variety of different cultural activities, mainly for young people as well as integrative educational programs and counseling for all ages. We offer our equipment together with our rooms and our know-how. We network and cooperate with other institutions as well as do some lobbying. In our Center there are special offers for boys, girls and women in order to stress upon the gender aspects . The intercultural oriented concept of our institution has developed recently into a concept of diversity which means that not only the cultural background of the people who visit our Center counts but also their skills and abilities.
