Life

Mozart's birth place

Angelo Saullich was the son of the city judge in his hometown in Prussian Silesia. He finished high school and then formed commercially from, first as an intern at a store for "Spezerei-, Colonialwaaren- and Droguen" in Opava . He later worked in Breslau before coming to Salzburg in 1838 , where he got a job as an accountant at the Alois Kraft company. In 1846 he married Therese Thury, b. Leiter, the widow of the businessman Ludwig Thury, came into possession of Mozart's birthplace and his own business. He greatly expanded this.

After Angelo Saullich had discovered that more and more cement was being used in the construction industry, but that it usually had to be imported from England or France, he decided to also produce and market the building material in Austria. He initially merged with the Alois Kraft company from Kufstein , which had acquired the privilege to produce Portland cement in 1857. But the Kufstein cement had a bad reputation. As a result, the company's main product was renamed Perlmooser-Portland-Cement and suddenly no longer had to deal with image problems. In particular, the experience gained with the construction of a railway bridge near Salzburg contributed to the success of the company: The English Portland cement used there did not cure satisfactorily, which meant that the local product gained in appreciation. Saullich and his partner also made floor slabs, water pipes and building decorations from cement. In 1860 their products received the highest award at an exhibition in Linz , in 1861 or 1862 a gold medal followed in London .

In 1863 Alois Kraft withdrew from the business, which Saullich was now running alone. After Professor Rebhan in the Austrian Architects' Association had propagated the native Portland cement in the same year and described it as being equivalent to the expensive imported goods, Saullich received a letter of recognition from the government. He also received a gold medal from the Lower Austrian Trade Association and the gold cross of merit with the crown . In 1868 he was able to open a new factory.

Nevertheless, in 1866 he was listed as a grocer's dealer in the trade and industrial schematism for the Duchy of Salzburg , based in the Haus zum Mozart at Getreidegasse 240.

In 1872 Saullich's company was converted into a stock corporation, but was still managed by Angelo Saullich.

From 1861 Saullich belonged to the Salzburg municipal council for an electoral period, later again from 1865 to 1867. In that year he resigned because he believed he could not fill it for lack of time. From 1852 to 1863 and from 1866 to 1875 he was a member of the Chamber of Commerce; from 1866 to 1867 as President and from 1867 to 1875 as Vice-President. From 1868 he was also a member of the Society for Salzburg Regional Studies.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his arrival in Salzburg, Angelo Saullich distributed donations to various institutions. In his will he had also decreed that he should only have a second-class funeral. The difference to the price of a first class funeral should be donated to the poor. Saullich's family grave was created by Wilhelm von Rümann .

Angelo Saullich, who lost his wife in 1877, left three married daughters.

The cement production initiated by Alois Kraft and Angelo Saullich is now in the hands of Lafarge Perlmooser .
