The department store Tyrol is in Innsbruck Maria Theresa street located department store, which was reopened of 2010. With 55 shops on 33,000 square meters and five floors, it is the largest of its kind in Innsbruck.
location
Kaufhaus Tyrol is located in the center of Innsbruck, in the pedestrian zone of Maria-Theresien-Straße. As a result, it is visited not only by locals but also by tourists. It also benefits from its proximity to the town hall galleries and the country house.
history
In 1908, Tyrol's first wholesale department store was opened by the Jewish families Bauer and Schwarz. In the years of National Socialism , the house was forcibly sold to the German company "Ferdinand Kraus", which continued to operate it under a new name.
After the destruction in World War II, the almost ten-year reconstruction of the building began in 1945. In 1966 the name was changed to “Kaufhaus Tyrol”.
After three changes of ownership, it was bought by René Benko in 2004 , demolished in 2005 and the new department store built in the same place until 2010. This building project caused a sensation mainly because the facade of the building had formed part of the overall picture of the historic Maria-Theresien-Straße. Buildings in Erlerstrasse were also demolished.
architecture
The building was planned by the English architect David Chipperfield in collaboration with Dieter Mathoi and is intended to create a bridge between old and new. The facade should be integrated into the image of the street as best as possible, without imitating the historical buildings that border the department store. A system of concrete core activation was installed, which minimizes cooling and heating costs. According to a life cycle assessment, 5000 tons of CO 2 should be saved each year. Inside, the basement is illuminated with daylight through the glass dome and the open staircase.
