history

In 1598 Konrad Kürner founded the Höllrigl bookstore as Kürner's book printer . His first major printed work was the Proprium Sanctorum Ecclesiae Salisburgensis cum Approbatione Sedis Apostolicæ . His son Gregor Kürner followed in 1620 and printed a clerical forget-me-nit in 1630 , but then left Salzburg again, Christoph Katzenberger was his successor. The bookstore was now called Kürner's Court and Academic Bookstore .

After Katzenberger's death in 1653, he was followed by Johann Baptist Mayr von Mayregg (1633–1708), who helped the Salzburg printing industry to achieve new successes. The new printing units were produced in a press that had been given to the printer by Prince Archbishop Guidobald Graf Thun. The missals and chorale books for the Salzburg Cathedral were also created here. His son Johann Joseph Mayr von Mayregg (1689–1724) took over the printing company after his father's death. His widow then ran the company under the name Johann Joseph Mayrs seel. Heirs continued until it had to be forcibly sold to the municipal orphanage in 1775 as punishment for a censorship violation.

The orphanage press published the well-known work of Kleinmayer's Juvavia in 1784 . In 1784, Franz Xaver Duyle (1743–1804), who had been managing director of the Weisenhauspresse since 1781, bought the printing works and bookstore and called them Duyle'sche Buchhandlung . After his death, he was followed by his son Franz Xaver Duyle junior, who in turn ceded the bookstore to Christoph Gottfried Lindig in 1843, but kept the printing press.

After Linding followed Max Glonner (1852–1879) and 1879–1881 the brothers Franz and Matthäus Krakowitzer, the name Duyle'sche Buchhandlung remained. In 1881 the bookstore went to Hermann Kerber and remained in his property until the end of 1900. Since 1897 the bookstore Hermann Kerber had the title of Kuk court book dealer.

In 1900 Kerber sold his bookstore to Eduard Höllrigl (1861–1901). After his unexpected death, Adolf Stierle and Otto Spinnhirn bought the bookstore in early 1903.
