The Hangar-7 on the east side of the Salzburg airport is a multifunctional building , which is a collection of historical aircraft, helicopters and Formula 1 racing cars of the entrepreneur Dietrich Mateschitz hosts. The steel frame has a clear glass shell throughout. The flat but slightly sloping ellipsoid is cut at an angle at the hangar door and is penetrated by two cylindrical towers at the opposite entrance.

The building serves as an exhibition space and, with its “Ikarus” restaurant, two bars, an outdoor lounge and a café, as an event location and meeting point.

History and construction

When planning began in October 1999, Hangar-7 was originally designed as the home of the Flying Bulls , whose fleet had become too large for the space available at Innsbruck Airport at the end of the 1990s . The hangar was planned by the Austrian architect Volkmar Burgstaller, construction work on the site east of the runway at Salzburg Airport began in January 2001. On August 22, 2003, the building was officially opened.

With free entry, the building attracts more than 200,000 visitors annually.

For the restoration and maintenance of the flying machines, the somewhat smaller, similarly shaped Hangar-8 was built north-northwest of Hangar-7, which is usually not accessible to visitors.

architecture

The curvature of the slightly inclined, flat, three-axis ellipsoid is associated with that of an airplane wing from the outside, and with the vault of the sky from the inside . The load-bearing steel structure, weighing 1200 tons, was built by Waagner Biro AG and, like the subsequent hangar-8 building, based on a design by ATELIER Volkmar Burgstaller . 1754 glass panels - 380 tons of special glass - also form the transparent outer cladding on the 2 cylindrical towers on both sides of the entrance. The steel and glass ellipsoid, cut off at an angle with the hangar door, extends over 100 meters in length, 14.5 m in height and 67 m in width.

Supply and disposal takes place via a street ramp in the SSO into the basement.
