history
The Heinrich-Gleißner-Haus was built as a waterway office in neoclassical style according to plans by the architect Roderich Fick in 1939 and is part of the monumental design of the banks of the Danube in Linz in line with the architecture of National Socialism . It represents an architecturally successful transition of the same to the historic old town houses. The building adjoins the bridgehead building west to the west and has facades facing this, the Donaulände, Badgasse and Hofberg. The neoclassical facade structure is limited to sparingly used blown segment gables as window canopies. The high ground floor, which acts as a plinth, is striking in solid granite ashlar with a rounded entrance. The striking water level tower rises above the top floor. The previous buildings on the Upper Donaulände No. 7 and 9 were demolished in 1938/39. This is closely related to the construction of the Nibelungen Bridge and the demolition of the old waterways office, which stood in the way and was located directly on the old bridge.
use
Originally built as a waterways office, the building was owned by the farmers' union as the Raiffeisenhof after the Second World War . Since 1952 it has housed the state party headquarters of the ÖVP and was renamed Heinrich-Gleißner-Haus in honor of Governor Heinrich Gleißner . The ÖVP has owned the building since 1984.
