Eyring patio
The outdoor seating Eyring (later patio Steyrerhof or Wankmüllerhof) was in Linz ( Upper Austria ) near the present-day State Psychiatric Clinic Wagner-Jauregg , also called low-Hart (formerly independent municipality Waldegg ). In a painting by Lucas van Valckenborch from 1593 you can see the tent-like roof of the open space Eyring next to Egeregg Castle with four turrets. Today, a modern building with the futuristic-looking building of the ÖAMTC has been built on the site of the former patio . The street name Wankmüllerhofstraße is still there today, nothing of the patio itself has survived.
history
A first building was erected here around 910 by Count Eberhard von Sempta, who also had a fortress built against the Hungarians in Ebelsberg . Then the gentlemen of Prague are said to have owned the court. An open seat Eyring was first mentioned in 1337. Originally it was called "Eyringsperg", later called "Eybelsberger". The owners were the citizens of Linz Leb and Otto the Puezzer; the courtyard burned down in 1627. In 1668 Joachim Enzmilner , who later became Count of Windhag , sold the patio to Gabriel Heinrich von Baldegger. In 1736, the city dean Max Gandolph Steyrer von Rottenthurm acquired the residence for his cousin Johann Andrä Steyrer (hence the name of the estate for a long time). In 1802 the property was acquired by the Wankmüller family and has since been named after this family. Until 1803 the residence was a Passau fiefdom. In 1837 the property burned down by arson.
Trinity Column
The only relic of the Eyring patio that is open to the public in Linz comes from the Baldeggern, namely a Trinity column: Ignaz Reichhard von Baldegger had this baroque column built on his property in 1705. In the base it had the first letters of his name "IRVB" and still showed the year of construction 1705. After 1736 Johann Andrä Steyrer had an Immaculate statue attached to the shaft of the column and his initials "JAS". The dilapidated column was moved in 1935 to what was then Landwehrplatz (today Bulgari-Platz) as a war memorial for those who died in the Austrian Civil War in 1934 and renovated. In 1938 it was demolished by the National Socialists as a "political monument". After 1945, it was rebuilt in a different form, the original shaft with a rich volute capital and the later added immaculate have been lost. Today a Tuscan column with a cube-like top rises on the still original and richly profiled pedestal ; on it is a baroque mercy seat sculpture (= Trinity). This Trinity Column is located on Bulgariplatz 1.
The column is sometimes brought into a legendary connection with the Marian column in Meggauerstraße. In both places the condemned to death had the opportunity to pray for last repentance on the way to the execution site in Kleinmünchen . Perhaps it will have been, but they were hardly built for this purpose; they were certainly too expensive for that.
