Kranzlmarkt and Rathausplatz
.JPG)
The Kranzlmarkt in Salzburg's old town is a short stretch of road between Getreidegasse and the Alter Markt , the small Rathausplatz branches off as a somewhat wider road connection from this former main traffic axis Kranzlmarkt-Getreidegasse and connects it with the former main bridge (today the State Bridge).
In history, the Kranzlmarkt served primarily as an egg and chicken market, although the name of the alley often changed: it was called Eiermarkt (1452–1585), Preinmarkt (Prein = millet ), Hühnermarkt (1700–1790) and, most recently, Vogelmarkt or Kranzlmarkt .
Old houses on Kranzlmarkt and Rathausplatz
Klampferhaus, hospital building
(Klampferergasse 3) After 1408 the house is called "spittlhaws an der alten Prucken". Right next door was the main bridge over the Salzach between 1316 and 1598. The house got its name because it belonged to the citizen hospital property. It was given to tenants until 1639. Around 1800 it was called the Klampfererhaus, obviously because the Klampferer ( tinsmiths ) lived here.
Kranzlmarkt 2
This “Egkhaus on the Wexlpank, that of the Samer”, was a house of the Samer family for a long time. At that time there was already an exchange bank owned by the wealthy Venetian merchants. Ulrich der Wexler, who officially died in 1382, was probably the father of Ulrich Samer, who lived in this house around 1400. Remember the Samers and a. the former Samerkapelle at the cathedral cemetery. From 1501 to 1900 only merchants owned the house.
Kranzlmarkt 3
The Smidtnerhaus, in which an old Gothic residential tower is structurally hidden, was first mentioned in a document in 1452 and called in 1585 “in foro ovorum” (at the egg market). It is located on a former passage to the Salzach. The house's Gothic window frames were exposed in 1939.
Kranzlmarkt 4, rabbit house
Before 1408 the well-known old Salzburg family of the Kollerer (Cholrär) lived here. Merchants owned the house continuously from 1472 to around 1900. At first this house still had battlements, which were walled up shortly after 1565 and converted into a two-storey attic. The well-known patron of Mozart, Johann Lorenz Hagenauer, bought this house for his son Leopold Hagenauer from the bankrupt property of the family of the specialty merchant Bauernfeind and had this house rebuilt - presumably by Johann Georg Laschensky. This house is known because in an "upside down world" before the renovation in 1783 it showed almost the entire surface of the entire street-side facade in which the roles of animals and humans were reversed: rabbits hunt and roast meat from humans, dogs and foxes. In addition, the following inscription was attached: “Those who caught, trashed and ate us, We are now paying with such masses. It has advised us hares that we should now roast dog and hunter ”. Pictures of this earlier facade have been preserved by a donation to the Salzburg Museum Carolino Augusteum .
Kranzlmarkt 5
The "house on the Eiermarkt" is first mentioned under the owner of the house at the time, Mayor Augustin Klaner († 1494), the founder of the "clan window" in the Nonnberg collegiate church.
Salzburg Town Hall, Rathausplatz 1
(= Kranzlmarkt 1) The Keutzl family lived in this house with the gender tower until 1407. Then the municipality bought the house and made it the new city court or administrative building (see also here ). In the past, the night watchman's call sounded here from the tower, the phrase of which has been preserved:
" Pay attention to you Lord and let me tell you; the hammer has struck nine (etc). Pay attention to the fire and the light so that no one is harmed. So we praise God the Lord and our dear wife, the immaculate virgin. Nine (etc) clock! (after Friedrich Graf Spaur, 1800)
Rathausplatz 2 (Landschadenhaus, main toll)
Previously owned by aristocratic Carinthian servants (Landschad), the house was purchased by Prince Archbishop Michael von Kuenburg in 1556 and used as a toll house. But as early as 1485 the toll station or toll office was here, where road and goods tariffs were collected. The house always remained in the property of the Archdiocese and therefore became the property of the Aryan monarchy after 1816 until it finally found a private buyer in 1859. On the first floor the house shows a sgraffito by Karl Reisenbichler and the following slogan: “The wool that is won here / and spun into yarn on the wheel / it is made into cloth here / and also brought to the Walch. / It follows paint and shear on it, / with which it is ready for sale. / The haulier carries it over land / the merchant checks it with a well-known hand. / The shawl is ready to choose from / and everyone can choose their dress here ”.
Rathausplatz 4
The house frames the small square with its wing on the salt axis. The town hall arch, built in the middle of the 16th century, continues here to the Staatsbrücke (formerly the main bridge). This archway has been rebuilt many times in history and is now very simple. Even before the main bridge was built at this location in 1599, there was a gate here, which was used as a watering gate (for watering the city's migrating and livestock) to the Salzach, known as the Keuzltor, and which was guarded by a gatekeeper.
