history

The Marketenderschlössl developed from various possessions - Peunten (small estates), gardens, orchards - on Mönchsberg , which were bought by the Frankmann family at the beginning of the 16th century and on which the first building was built between 1560 and 1563 under Stephan Frankmann von Oxenfeld (hence the name Frankmannschlössl or the place name Frankmannberg, which is no longer in use today).
Stephan Frankmann von Oxenfeld was city judge from 1558 and from 1563 to 1574 Prince Archbishop Mautner . Despite three marriages with wealthy middle-class daughters, he was and remained heavily in debt. When a settlement was made, the property on Mönchsberg fell to the children of his first wife, a née Thumberger. On March 29, 1589, Christoph Thumberger sold the property to Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich . He had the castle enlarged, and a cistern that still exists today was dug. The coat of arms on the castle refers to this prince. As of January 27, 1604, it was agreed that the castle should be left to the senior of the Salzburg cathedral chapter for use (hence the name Senioratschlössl ). The first of these canons, Balthasar von Raunach , left the altar in the chapel with a painting of St. Furnish Mary with the baby Jesus and the young John the Baptist .
During the Thirty Years War , officers and soldiers were quartered in the castle. Part of the land was sold to the countryside in 1642 (this was a kind of state parliament of Salzburg, made up of the nobility and emissaries of the people, elected citizens and farmers) for fortification purposes. On January 8, 1677, the entire castle was sold to the landscape, who transformed it into a barracks. The establishment of a meat bank for sutlers dates from this period ; hence the name Marketenderschlössl , which is still used today . The associated Meierhof (the so-called Hintermaiergütl) was used for the soldiers under Archbishop Max Gandolf and the castle for the disabled. Since the disabled corporal Melchior Ruf could not make ends meet with the money for the disabled, he applied for a permit for an inn. The restaurant established here developed into a popular excursion destination, important public festivals took place in the immediate vicinity (May 28, 1849: Great Salzburg Flag and Song Festival, August 15, 1861: After-celebration of the great German song festival in Nuremberg, August 31 1862: founding festival of the Salzburg gymnastics club).
From the ärarischen owned the sutler Schlössl was acquired in 1870 by Colonel Ferdinand Ritter Eißler of Ehrenwarth. After it was sold to Wilhelm Ritter von Pramberger-Eißler in 1885, the property passed to the Russian colonel Basilius von Paschkoff. In 1902 it came to the Colonel's heirs (Alexander, Sophie, Olga and Marie von Paschkoff).
In 1926 the property was sold together with the Johannesschlössl to the St. Paulusheim in Bruchsal for the Catholic-German mission of the Pallottines abroad . A structurally original state was restored after the battlements that were attached in 1861 were removed. The seminary for the southern German province of the Pallottines was housed here until 1941. During the Nazi era , the Pallottines were expropriated and the patent exploitation company for the armaments industry was housed in the castle. In 1948 it was returned to the order and a boarding school was set up.
The Marketenderschlössl is now used by the Californian University of Redlands , which operates a center for European studies founded here in 1960. The interiors of the building were extensively renovated and changed in 2001 for this purpose. The Study Center contains a library, a reading room, lecture rooms, living rooms with kitchens and a computer room. The academic program focuses on European studies, cultural studies and German literature.
The associated Hintermaiergütl is today the novitiate house of the Order of the Pallottines. It was inaugurated on October 2, 2009 by Archbishop Alois Kothgasser . In autumn 2012 the Pallottine novitiate in Salzburg was closed and the house rented to the Salzburg Student Union. The Salzburg student residence has been operating a student residence under the name “M22” in Hintermaiergütl since November 1st, 2012.
Structural features
A 1980 renovated Ziehbrunnen front of the building bears the year 1560 and two coats of arms from the early history of the house. Due to a mix-up of the units of measurement of feet and fathoms around 1900, the rumor arose that the well was 60 m deep, but in reality it is only a good 10 m deep. The well was or is also called a cistern .
