The Reinerhof , also Reiner Hof , in the first district of the Inner City, is the oldest documented building in the city of Graz . The name comes from its first owner, the Rein Abbey.

history

The Reinerhof is located between Schloßbergplatz and the former Palais Khuenburg , which today houses the Graz City Museum . It was first mentioned in a document in 1164. Margrave Ottokar III. donated the farm, which was built on the ground of three farms, to the Cistercian monastery in Rein in the year it was mentioned . At that time, the property was located directly on the city wall and also included the plot of today's house number 18, the Palais Khuenberg. The so-called first sack, a row of medieval houses after which Sackstrasse was named, reached up to this point . The first sack was locked by the city gate tower. Around 1346, a monastery courtyard, the Reinerhof, is mentioned right next to the tower. After 1788 the Rein Abbey sold the Abbey Court. From 1798 a Count Dismas von Dietrichstein appears as the owner. He united the Reinerhof with the former Palais Khuenberg.

In 1837 Albrecht von Österreich-Teschen (1817–1895) joined the Infantry Regiment No. 13 garrisoning in Graz (owner: Maximilian von Wimpffen , 1770–1854) and took up residence on the first floor of the Rainerhof (Graz, First Sack No. . 238), which at that time belonged to the father of Sigmund Conrad von Eybesfeld (1821–1898).

In 1895 the property was owned by the kk privileged internal Austrian mutual fire damage insurance company .

The building has been owned by the City of Graz since 1918. A total renovation of the Reinerhof, including archaeological investigations, took place between 1992 and 1994 .

Architecture, design, use

The Reinerhof has a hook-shaped floor plan. The core of the building does not date from the documentary mention, but from the 15th century. From the 16th to the 18th century, some changes were made to the substance of the building. The facades from the Biedermeier period of 1839 and 1840 come from Georg Hauberisser the Elder . On the north side there are three terracotta reliefs depicting spring, summer and autumn.

On the ground floor of the east wing (which, according to the land register, belongs to the property of Palais Khuenburg ) there is a small late Gothic hall with a profiled central pillar bearing originally painted coats of arms. The idiosyncratic design of the one-pillar room for representative rooms was usually limited to the 13th century. The type of use of the Gothic hall in the Reinerhof is still unclear, but a chapel function can be ruled out.

In 1887/88 Johann Puch was a foreman in the bicycle department of the sewing machine dealer Luchscheider in Reinerhof, a lathe from that time was found in the "Gothic Hall" when it was cleared and renovated around 1997/98. In 1999, Taliman Sluga organized the Graz bicycle history workshop for the VeloCity bicycle traffic conference . The Gothic Hall has been used temporarily for events or as a sales room in recent years.

The former house chapel was dedicated to St. Anne . It was provided with an altarpiece with the depiction of Anna herself third by the artist Johann Veit Hauckh . The altar sheet is now in Waldstein Castle in the Styrian municipality of Deutschfeistritz .

The slightly longer but one storey lower north wing has since the renovation on the ground floor - partly a little below the level of the Schlossbergplatz outside - two business and two restaurants. The apartments above are accessed via a small flight of stairs and a front door on the north facade.
