Innerberger Stadel (Steyr)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Front to Grünmarkt, right behind the parish church

The Innerberger Stadel at Steyrer Grünmarkt 26 is a renaissance purpose-built structure from around 1612/13 with rich sgraffito decoration . The building is named after the main Innerberg trade union that acquired it in 1628. Today it houses the museum of the city of Steyr and the Steyrer Kripperl .

architecture

The building, which is covered with a moat roof, faces the Grünmarkt at the gable and is connected to the neighboring Neutor . The ground floor is dominated by vaults (partly decorated with stucco), while the two upper floors are dominated by mighty support structures with tram ceilings ( wooden beam ceilings ).

Directly above the massive main gate, a fresco with a scene from the Joseph story ( Gen 42, ELB  EU ) refers to the purpose of the building as a food store, above is the year 1612. On the second floor there is a nimbly double-headed eagle with the coat of arms of the iron union. On the ground floor, two side entrances open to the left and right of the main gate (Steyrer Kripperl and Museum of the City of Steyr) and two large barred windows to the right and left. The two upper floors each show six smaller, also barred windows and the double gable at the bottom four and at the top two. An iron gargoyle protrudes from the moat between the two roofs . The window and door openings are decorated with scratch-plaster paintings, so-called sgraffiti .

History and use

Elevation in the historical state of construction (Rudolf Neumayr 1870)

A contract dates from 1590 in which the Garsten Abbey left a plot of land in the parish garden of the parish church to the city . The building that was to be erected there was intended for butcher stalls ( meat banks ) on the ground floor and grain stores on the upper floors. However, the turmoil of the time such as the Turkish wars , the peasant uprising and the Counter-Reformation prevented construction for the time being, and work did not begin until summer 1611. However, the monastery apparently no longer regarded the contract as binding, because when Abbot Johann Wilhelm (1601 to 1613) heard about it, he protested to the city and sent a complaint to the governor . A settlement concluded on July 26th stipulated that not only the building specifications of the abbot should be observed, but that a salt chamber should be set up on the ground floor and ten guilders and three loads of salt (about 187 kg) should be delivered annually to every Steyr pastor . However, the damp ground floor was not suitable for salt storage, so a carriage shed was housed instead . In 1628 the Innerberger Main Union bought the building, responsible for the iron industry on the northern Erzberg .

The name until 1628 was Stadl im Grimmort . Grimmort is the old name of today's Steyrer Grünmarkt .

Since 1887 the warehouse was owned by the "Waffenfabriksgesellschaft" . In 1908 the municipality acquired the land for the new post office building. The demolition of the barn was controversial, however, and Archduke heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand intervened to maintain it. Instead, the post office was housed in the Dornhaus (Grünmarkt 1) in 1911. According to a decision of July 26, 1912, the Steyr Heimathaus was housed in the Innerberger Stadel (opening July 25, 1913). In the same year, the museum association acquired 450 stick puppets from Steyr hiking cribs that had existed since the middle of the 19th century . Since 1924 the Steyrer Kripperl has been used from Advent until after Dreikönig , especially with Christmas scenes and local historical events. The Heimathaus was partly furnished by donations . The most important was that of the Lamberg "doll collection" by Countess Anna Lamberg (-Werndl) in 1915.

The years of the Second World War brought great damage. After extensive renovation and reconstruction work, however, the house reopened on October 14, 1947. On April 3, 1950, the Upper Austrian provincial government decided on an iron museum, which the Steyr municipal council approved on April 18, 1950. It opened on July 29, 1957. The scythe factory behind the local history museum was donated by Josef Zeitlinger from Leonstein (municipality of Grünburg ), and the Petermandl knife collection is located in an extension . From June 4, 1971, the Heimathaus expanded its holdings with a bird collection from ornithologist Karl Steinparz in the rooms of the neighboring Neutor and in 1973 with a farmer's forge from Unter Laussa . Today the Heimathaus and the Iron Museum are combined as the Museum of the City of Steyr .

The scaffolded Innerberger Stadel (October 2018)

The barn and the adjoining Neutor, along with Lamberg Castle and the Working World Museum, will be the setting for the state exhibition 2021 “Aristocracy - Citizens - Workers”. For this reason, the building has been renovated since February 2018 according to plans by the Steyr architects Schmid + Leitner . Museum operations are to be resumed by 2020.

The Bürgerbrunnen on the square in front of the barn was built between 1977 and 1979. The design comes from Maximilian Stockenhuber (Linz).
