Town Hall (Lustenau)
The town hall in Lustenau is the town hall of the market town of Lustenau in the Dornbirn district in Vorarlberg ( Austria ) and the headquarters of the local government, the seat of the local council and the mayor . The building is called: Rathausstrasse 1 and is a listed building .
history
Lustenau only received its first independent town hall in the 19th century. The school building next to the Church of St. Peter and Paul was converted into the town hall. Before that, the town hall and the town hall archives were in fact located at the domicile of the incumbent Hofammann. The planning for a new building for the town hall in the 1940s had to be abandoned due to the destructive effects of the Second World War . It was not until today's town hall, which was officially opened in 1958, that it was a building specially designed for this purpose. From 1993 to 1996 an extension was built to the south (today the building authority). The building was listed as a historical monument in 2012.
architecture
The building was designed by the architects Adelheid Gnaiger , Paul Götsch and Walter Griss.
- Exterior
The town hall is an elongated three-storey building with a flat roof and has the characteristic architectural elements of the buildings of the 1950s.
- Interior
The interior of the town hall is largely functional. Some defining stylistic elements from the 1950s have been preserved.
memorial
There are two memorials between the two main structures of the town hall. On the northwest side a memorial column over the former free Reichshof Lustenau, through which the place and the people were significantly shaped. The memorial column was designed by Udo Rabensteiner in collaboration with the Lustenau archivist Wolfgang Scheffknecht. The square column consists of medium gray-blue dolomite and is intended to be reminiscent of an early modern coat of arms column. On the column are texts and reliefs, such as B. an extract from the document of Sigismund von Luxemburg , who in 1412 confirmed the privileges and freedoms of the richshofe zu Lustnou . On the southeast side there are four busts of well-known Lustenau people:
- Bust of Hannes Grabher (1894–1965), dialect poet,
- Bust of the academic painter Karl Schwärzler ,
- Bust of Stephanie Hollenstein (1886–1944), painter,
- Bust of Beno Vetter (1882–1971), teacher and local poet.
