Café Bazar (Salzburg)
The Café Bazar is one of Salzburg's traditional cafés . It is located in the so-called bazaar building on the right side of the Salzach at Schwarzstrasse 3.
history
The bazaar building was built in 1881/82 according to plans by Valentin and Jakob Ceconi . In the southern part there were initially several shops, e.g. B. "G. Baldi's art and haberdashery dealership ”, the hair cutter Johann Stojanovic or the musical instrument trade of Josef Wessely & Sohn. In 1906, the Carl Spängler & Co bank, the oldest bank in Austria, moved to this part of the building. The northern part of the bazaar building was first owned by the charcutier (meat smoker and sausage manufacturer) Johann Greiml. He had a café built here in 1882, which he leased to Ferdinand Böck after completion.
On October 1, 1883, Elisabeth Musch, née Irber, and Josef Musch appear as the owners of the Café Bazar. After the death of his wife, Musch sold the café to Johann and Philippine Brandl in 1886. In 1906 the previously flat building was given a mansard roof with towers and a flat dome, allegedly because the residents on the opposite side of Schwarzstrasse protested against raising another floor, as this would take away the view of Salzburg's old town.
In 1909 Richard Tomaselli took over the Café Bazar (he had previously leased the Café Central in Schwarzstrasse 8, which was popular with artists), which he reopened on September 23, 1909. After 1958 it was continued by Otto, son of Richard Tomaselli. After his early death in 1959, his then 21-year-old daughter Vera took over the café. The construction of the winter garden (instead of a pub ) goes back to them. This last owner from the Tomaselli family resided in the bazaar for decades as a Salzburg grande dame . In 2003 she handed over the business to the family of Evelyn Brandstätter, a member of a Salzburg gastronomy family.
A literary tradition has been resumed since 2008: As part of the Salzburg Book Week, Ecowin Verlag organized a reading with Friedrich Orter from “Himmelfahrten. Hell trips. "
