Albersheim residence, Innrain 41

The Albersheim residence (sometimes also called Pfenningsches Schlössl or Nothburgaheim ) is located in the city of Innsbruck in Tyrol ( Innrain 41).

History of the residence

Albersheim was elevated to a noble seat on October 9, 1561 by Emperor Ferdinand I. Albersheim was the residence of the Tyrolean Chancellor Matthias Alber, who was raised to the nobility at the time and was now allowed to call himself Alber von Alberburg and Albersheim . The chamber acquired the building in 1573 and made it available to the Innsbruck court music director Wilhelm Brunereaw (Primau) in 1574. In 1628 the residence was designated as the newly built home of the Cammermaisterambts administrator Ulrich Möst . In 1775 Johann Valentin von Pfenning is the owner of the two-story building (hence the name Pfenningsches Schlössl ). Afterwards the businessman Josef Rimmel bought Albersheim. In the 19th century there were frequent changes of ownership, but the house always remained in bourgeois ownership.

In 1862 an increase of one and a half storeys was made (gable storey with trimmed gable). In 1887, the building became the property of the Kapfer men's supply house fund. In 1934 the residence came into the possession of the city of Innsbruck, but in 1938 it belonged to the state of Tyrol. This set up a retirement home here, which was operated by the Nothburga Foundation.

Albersheim residence today

The building was erected in a formerly existing orchard, of which nothing is left today due to the construction of the Innrain. It is a cube-shaped building with side walls and two ocher-colored corner bay windows from the 16th century. The house is divided by two wide cornices. The northern front still shows the character of a Tyrolean noble seat. Above the main entrance there is a mosaic of the miraculous image of Mariahilf after Lucas Cranach the Elder with the baby Jesus. On the ground floor there is a continuous hallway with lancet vaults , in the rear area of ​​the ground floor a one-armed, spiral staircase leads upwards. Another vaulted room used to be the chapel of the residence. The renovation of the building began in 1979, with the help of voluntary contributions from the Belgian building order to the Notburga Foundation.

The first floor in 1979 was the “Galerie Ynnsprugger Werkstatt” founded by Albert Rangger. In 1995 this became the "Galerie Nothburga" under the direction of Elfriede Gerber. The building is also used for residential purposes.
