Hotel Zur Blauen Gans (Salzburg)
The Hotel Blaue Gans is located in the former Sprinzenbergerhaus in Getreidegasse No. 43 in Salzburg .
history
The building was probably built in the middle of the 15th century, as the owners appear to be the Aufners. 1432 handed Martin Aufner the house the Civic Hospital .1458 took Mayor Hans coupler the jointure of the siblings George, Martin and Scholastica Schaurer and sold this 1468 to the hospital champion Andre Swaiger. In 1569 it is described as the house of Matheusen Huebers wierths . In 1601 it came to Peter Sprinzenberger, who had previously run the restaurant in the house. Under the tenant Bartlmä Rexeisen, the house was first mentioned in the middle of the 17th century as zur plaben Gans . For a while, under Franz Knuzinger, “The Blue Goose” and “The Golden Deer” were united in one hand. The blue goose was led by a tenant. At the end of the 19th century, the Blaue Gans was combined with the now defunct house at 41 Getreidegasse.
present
On April 25, 1945, the house was partially damaged by a bomb attack. After 1945 this was the seat of the United Nation Forces in Austria , i. H. accommodation for the US military police. In 1973 the restaurateur and musician Adi Jüstel took over the Blaue Gans and opened the legendary Mexicano cellar with its international jazz scene in the cellar of the house . Artists like Fatty George or Ella Fitzgerald , but also Friedrich Gulda , José Feliciano , the guitarist Barney Kessel and Michael Honzak performed here. This restaurant closed in 1996. Afterwards the old town cellar was opened here, which existed until 2005 and was also a meeting place for swing and folk musicians. Adi Jüstel himself always worked as a musician on the piano or with his trumpet.
In 1998 Andreas Gfrerer took over the family-owned Blaue Gans. After renovations between 1998 and 2002, it was opened as an art hotel. Another renovation followed in 2012.
