description

Florianiplatz is located in the heart of the Upper City between Obere Lindenplatz, Sebastiani-, Gruttenstein- and Peter-und-Paul-Gasse. This area, formerly thing quarters or Dingstätterviertel meant as miraculously spared more than once by bad town fires - most recently at the great fire in 1834 , where except in the area of Florianiplatzes in the rest of the city only about were half a dozen houses. Even if there was no church dedicated to St. Florian , the fact that he is the patron saint of fire services is plausible for the origin of the name. After the city fire in 1834, the residents of the square also built the Floriani fountain , which bears a statue of St. Florian, out of gratitude . Also part of the ensemble is the Tiroler Straße, which led to the Tiroler Tor, which was taken by travelers and traders who set out in the direction of Tyrol . The Florianiplatz itself leads in the direction of the Peter and Paul Tower and thus the former Peter and Paul Gate.

The buildings in this area are built in the characteristic Alt-Reichenhaller style , mostly gable-facing with plastered facades and protruding flat saddle or crooked roofs. The Tiroler Straße and the west side of the Florianiplatz show a closed development, on the east side of the Florianiplatz small connecting paths and irregular facades loosen the structure.

history

Florianiplatz 8, 6 and 4, birthplace of Viktoria Savs

Since the buildings on and around Florianiplatz were spared from bad fires more than once - most recently during the great city fire in 1834 - the oldest buildings in the city are located here. These go back to the 16th and 17th centuries, in the core parts of some houses even go back to the time of Roman settlement. The Florianibrunnen was built towards the end of the 19th century. The Tiroler Strasse was called Oberste Gasse until around 1800 . Until the 1970s, this formed the main traffic axis through the city - as Salzburger Strasse, Ludwigstrasse, Salinenstrasse and Tiroler Strasse. In the course of the construction of the bypass road, traffic was diverted around the city and Ludwigstrasse and upper Salzburger Strasse were designated as pedestrian zones. Since then, traffic through the city has mainly flowed through the city via Münchner Allee, Bahnhofstrasse, Wittelsbacherstrasse, Innsbrucker Strasse, Anton-Winkler-Strasse and Berchtesgadener Strasse.

In 1899 Viktoria Savs , "The Hero Girl of the Three Peaks", was born in today's house No. 6 on Florianiplatz.

In the recent past, Florianiplatz with its historic housing stock was discovered as a backdrop for television productions. Among other things, several scenes were created here for the television series Lena Lorenz as well as for the television film The wedding of my sister with Chiara Schoras and Sebastian Ströbel in the leading roles.
