history

ARGEkultur

ARGE Rainberg

The ARGEkultur began with demonstrations and actionism against the Salzburg festival culture. In November 1981, the protest movement, consisting of around 50 initiatives and groups, formed the ARGE Rainberg, the aim of which was to persuade the city fathers to convert the old star brewery at the foot of the Rainberg . This site with a usable area of ​​24,000 square meters was intended to be used as a self-administered cultural center. Negotiations with the political leaders over a period of three years attempted to get commitments for this Rainberg project, but without success.

Nonntal cultural area

The ARGE Rainberg movement gained broader public awareness through two demonstrations in June and July 1984. As a result, ARGE Rainberg received the offer to use the HTL teaching building yard in Nonntal for its own purposes. This small variant with around 1,000 square meters of usable space was structurally adapted in the following years and opened in 1987 as the Nonntal cultural area. Since then, ARGEkultur has been the largest autonomously managed cultural center in Western Austria.

ARGEkultur

At the end of the 1990s, the adapted temporary structure of the former HTL teaching building yard became more and more evident in its limited usability. The infrastructure, both the spatial and the technical, turned out to be inadequate to enable further development of the ARGE culture. The constantly changing requirements of the program soon made it clear that a new building was urgently needed.

In December 2003 the Salzburg municipal council decided to finance a new building. At the beginning of October 2005, the “Nonntal cultural area” moved to the new building at Ulrike-Gschwandtner-Straße 5. With the change of location, the Nonntal cultural area became the ARGEkultur.

In 2006 the ARGEkultur building was honored with recognition as part of the Salzburg State Architecture Prize.
