The Sternbräu is a gastronomic complex in the historic center of the Austrian city of Salzburg and is located between Getreidegasse and Griesgasse . It includes four restaurants and two outdoor dining areas. The brewery inn was first mentioned in 1542.

history

The building complex originally dates back to three houses, one of which was located on the second city wall (Stöckl) and is only later counted as a separate house. The first owner is Hofsmid Hartel in 1408 . This forging tradition continued into the 16th or 17th century (court smithy on Getreidegasse until 1656). In 1542 a Pierprew is documented here for the first time and a Hanns Riexinger is named as the owner. From 1636 Philipp Tunzler owned the Würth house near the gulden star . The name does not refer to the biblical star, but to the star bastion built by Archbishop Paris Lodron , which was built into the banks of the Salzach and which was razed again after 1860. In the 17th century, the Stockhamer family, who already ran the Stockhamerbräu in Getreidegasse, came into possession of the Sternbräu. Matthias Wilhelmseder came into possession of the Sternbräu in 1743; A richly furnished baroque chapel was built by him on the first floor of the house. After its bankruptcy, the subsequent owners Johann Ernst Antretter (1772–1781) and Kordula Hierl were able to bring the Sternbräu back up to a halfway point.

In the 19th century, the Sternbrauerei was able to successfully defend itself against the brewery's death. In 1876 the cellar facilities were relocated to the Riedenburg district (Steinbruchstrasse 1). In 1887 the Sternbrauerei was converted into a public limited company.

The brewery was relocated entirely to Riedenburg in 1907 in order to expand and modernize the business. The buildings were created by the builder Jakob Ceconi . Beer was brewed here until 1956. The "Josefibier" and the "Rupertibier" were locally famous . In 1972 the brewery's 54 meter high chimney was blown up. In addition to the brewery, there was also the so-called Alte Sterngasthaus until 2007 with a chestnut garden, a wooden Salettl and the down-to-earth tenant Rosi . From January 2013 to October 2014 the area was rebuilt and expanded, but the listed parts were preserved.

After the brewery was relocated from the city center, the passage to Griesgasse was created at the former brewery in 1909. In 1929 the Sternbräu was acquired by Österreichische Brau AG and again extensively renovated. The Sternbräu was badly damaged on April 24, 1945.

The Sternbräu today

In 2012, the Sternbräu had 780 seats in four restaurants ("Sternbräu", "La Stella", "Braumeister", "Abendstern") and 670 seats in the two guest gardens. In addition to the gastronomic offer, the location was also used for various, mostly evening events.

On January 7, 2013, a two-year renovation and expansion began, during which the entire area remained closed. Much of the building was demolished. During the renovation work, around 30 meters of the late medieval Salzburg city wall including parts of a defensive tower were exposed, both of which were integrated into the new building. On October 1, 2014, the Sternbräu was reopened under the management of the previous tenant.
