Linzer Gasse
The Linzergasse is next to the Getreidegasse and the Steingasse one of the most famous streets of Salzburg . It is located in the old town on the right of the Salzach in the Neustadt at the foot of the Kapuzinerberg and today runs from the Staatsbrücke or Platzl to Franz-Josef-Straße.
In the time of the prince-archbishop it was the most important main artery to Linz or Austria, from which the name of the street arises. Formerly called the subsequent Schallmooser main street in continuation of the Linzer Gasse Linzer Reichsstraße or road to Austria . The great importance as a traffic route becomes clear, because the Linzer Reichsstraße in Nieder-Gnigl joins the also very important old Eisenstraße (today Grazer Bundesstraße ) in Styria. Over 140 shops and the historic buildings make Linzergasse a popular tourist destination in Salzburg. Every year the Linzergasse Festival takes place here on the last weekend in June.
history
As the main traffic route on the Salzach , today's Linzergasse is already known from excavations in Roman times. At the far end of Linzergasse there is a known cemetery from the late Roman period.
In the Middle Ages, the built-up lane developed gradually from the bridgehead of the city bridge (today the State Bridge) to the east. In the early Middle Ages, the city first ended with the Ostertor west of Stefan-Zweig-Platz (in front of today's house at Linzergasse 12). The small Königsgässchen ran right along the oldest city wall. This city wall from around 1280 is u. a. Visible in the courtyard of Lederergässchen No. 1 and 3 and again as the extremely powerful east wall of Linzergasse 14. In 1373 the outer Linzertor (also called Sebastianstor) was built at the outer end of today's Linzergasse, which was then renewed several times and only demolished in 1894 has been. During subsequent work from 1897 on, the so-called Salzburg bronze disk was found there, the fragment of a Roman water clock that is now in the Salzburg Museum .
The eastern area of Linzergasse is still largely shaped today by the tower and facade of the Sebastianskirche .
Paracelsus and the Linzergasse
In the last year of his life from 1540 to 1541, the doctor and scientist Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, known as Paracelsus , lived next to Linzergasse in the last year of his life, from 1540 to 1541 , who had to flee the city of Salzburg in order to avoid Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg because of his sympathy for the insurgent peasants to be prosecuted. Paracelsus is also on the Sebastiansfriedhof buried at St. Sebastian's Church.
The old church of St. Andrew
St. Andrä (today the house at Linzergasse No. 1) was consecrated on November 29, 1418. Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau had the originally Gothic church redesigned into a Renaissance building in 1610; under Archbishop Dietrichstein , it was converted into Baroque style in 1748 at great expense. The big fire in the town in 1818 also affected the church and damaged it badly, after which it was only allowed to make makeshift preparations. As a result, the church was finally demolished in 1861 and, not far from it, a new St. Andrä was built in 1892 . The frescoes by the artist Karl Reisenbichler decorate the now existing house at Linzergasse 1, but nothing today reminds of the existence of a church in its place.
The angel pharmacy
House no. 7 is mentioned for the first time in 1512 as a house at the "chlein Gässl hinder d. S. Andres Kirchen ”. In 1805 a pharmacy was set up in this house by Georg Hinterhuber and named "the white angel", who also made a name for himself in Salzburg as an outstanding botanist and teacher of natural history. His son Julius founded the "Salzburg Section of the German and Austrian Alpine Club ". In this pharmacy (house no. 7 with a walled-in angel's head) the later poet Georg Trakl worked as an assistant for almost a year. A plaque with a poem by Trakl reminds of this.
The Gablerbräu
This inn, initially located directly next to the Ostertor (i.e. the gateway to the east) on the main road into the city, was first mentioned in documents as a brewery in 1429.
The bell foundry
As early as 1724, near Glockengasse, right on the rock of the Kapuzinerberg, the Oberascher bell foundry became known. This bell foundry was badly affected by torrents from the Kapuzinerberg, especially during prolonged rainfall, so the company was looking for better working conditions. Shortly after 1900 the foundry finally moved to the house at Linzergasse 31 next to the Bruderhof. The new neighbors and other residents of the alley were not very happy about this, as they feared a major fire - or even a city-wide catastrophe - in the event of an accident. Countless petitions were then written by the company and the concerned citizens for many years, until finally, in 1919, the company didn't quite voluntarily look for a new location in Kasern , where it continued to work until a few years ago.
St. Sebastian Church
The Rotenburger House (1629–1668)
Leopold Rotenburger set up his organ building workshop in Linzergasse 27 in 1629 . Wolf Dietrich created the office of court organ maker in 1597, he is the first verifiable court organ maker in Salzburg. In 1643, one of his son Paul Rotenburger bought the Rottenburger house from his father, who then probably moved to another house in Linzergasse, in 1661 the other son, Mathias Rotenburger .
St. Sebastian Brother House
The house at Linzergasse 41 is the historical Bruderhaus ("Bruderhof"), which was donated in 1496 and built in major parts by 1532. It is a building complex, as a corner house on Linzergasse next to the Sebastianskirche, and extends with several other buildings between the Sebastian cemetery and the cloister garden of the Loreto monastery in the direction of Paris-Lodron-Straße, with two buildings spanning the street forming inner courtyards.
It served as a hospital for sick and old Salzburgers who were not citizens of this city and therefore could not be admitted to the privileged brother house at the Bürgerspitalkirche . When the city fire of 1818, the complex was largely destroyed, rebuilt and subsequently used as a school for servants . After 1865 he served the III. Company of the Salzburg Voluntary Fire Brigade , later renamed the Bruderhof fire station . It was not until 1946 that volunteer fire brigade and professional fire brigade shared the Bruderhof. Part of this fire station was also the rescue department of the volunteer fire brigade, which later became part of the Red Cross rescue service . The rescue was housed in the rescue floor behind the Bruderhof and moved to a new headquarters in Karl Renner Strasse ( Salzburg rescue home ) in the 1990s . Volunteers and professional fire brigades were housed in the Bruderhof until October 1999 and were then able to move to a new equipment facility ( Schallmoos fire station ) in Schallmooser Hauptstrasse.
Today, the Bruderhof heard as churches rektorat the Archdiocese of Salzburg and students home and guest house St. Sebastian of the Fraternity of St. Peter .
The rear houses were modernized from 2000 to 2003 and supplemented by new buildings (Quartier Bruderhof) . The architecture comes from Thomas Forsthuber and Christoph Scheithauer and combines old substance with minimalist-formal elements, and won the Salzburg Old Town Prize in 2003. Today there are 16 apartments, offices, plus shops and bars in the base zone.
Bathhouse
The closest house no. 43/45 was a medieval bathhouse, the core of which dates back to the 16th century and today has baroque window frames.
Egedacher House (1753–1788)
The Egedacher-Hauß Linzergasse 66 belonged to the Salzburg court organ maker and piano maker Johann Rochus Egedacher , who acquired it in 1753 with the inherited fortune of his wife Maria Theresia Capeller from Aussee . In 1764 he bought nor the feudal Roessler House , Linzer Gasse 68 , do so. After the unhappy life of the Egedacher family, the heirs first sold the Lehenrößlerhaus in 1785 for 2000 florins , the main house, Linzergasse 66 , in 1788 for 1391 florins.
