The "Canisianum" building on Tschurtschenthalerstraße, in which the Collegium Canisianum was housed until 2013.

The Canisianum in Innsbruck is on the one hand a building at Tschurtschenthalerstraße 7, which was built in 1910/11 for an international theological convict of the Jesuits in neo-Romanesque style. On the other hand, it is also the name of the priests' college itself, which in 2013 moved from Tschurtschenthalerstraße 7 to Sillgasse 6. It is still under the sponsorship of the Jesuit Order .

history

The Canisianum is named after St. Petrus Canisius and was built in 1910/11 under Regens P. Michael Hofmann. It replaced the theologian convict Nicolaihaus .

During the First World War , it also housed the students of the Germanicum in Rome from 1915 to 1919 . On November 21, 1938, the Canisianum was closed by the National Socialists and could only be reopened in October 1945.

In the summer of 2013, the Collegium Canisianum moved to the premises of the Jesuit College in Sillgasse, where it was originally located. Since then, there has been an Akademikerhilfe student residence in the building on Tschurtschenthalerstraße.
