history
Brodhäuslau
Instead of the Volksgarten, there was originally the Brodhäuslau. This stretched from the Bürglstein about 1.2 kilometers upstream, was traversed by the Aubach and had wide gravel banks on the banks of the Salzach. The Brodhäusl, which gave the area its name, belonged to Gut Münchhausen. It was located about north of today's Steinlechner inn. In 1873 the Salzach regulation was continued to the south and so the Brodhäuslau became mostly a new building area. Between 1891 and 1898 the area was redesigned in honor of Emperor Franz Joseph and, on the occasion of the 50th return on the day the emperor ascended the throne, the new park was opened to the population under the name Franz-Josef-Park.
Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Park
The swimming pool there was opened in the early summer of 1892 - initially under the name "Franz-Josefs-Bad" - and a children's playground the following autumn. Numerous large folk festivals took place here, including the Dult. At the small pond there was once an inn, on the pond you could rent small rowing or sailing boats for a round in the pond.
Volksgarten
Since the end of the monarchy, the park has also been called the Volksgarten, deliberately distancing itself from monarchist models. In some historical plans from the interwar period the name "Volksgarten" can be found, in others the name "Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Park", which can still be found in city maps today. To this day, however, the entire park is called "Volksgarten" by the population. First the name "Volksgarten" appears in an official cadastral map of the city from 1894, in which around 1900 the first name "Brothäuslau" was changed to "Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Park" and a few years after World War I to "Volksgarten" has been. The name is derived from the "Volksbad", a name given to the local bath that was already widely used during the monarchy. On September 2, 1945, the first post-war international soccer match, Salzburg versus Upper Austria, took place at the ASKÖ sports field in the Salzburg Volksgarten. And on April 21, 1946, the Salzburg amusement park reopened at its old location in the Volksgarten. On June 19, 1949, the Salzburg War Victims Association organized a huge raffle with a Puch motorcycle as the main prize in front of more than 10,000 people in the Volksgarten for the benefit of war victims.
Volksgarten sauna
A Salzburg institution was the Volksgarten sauna, which was built in the early 1940s and lasted until 2010; it will be demolished in autumn 2019.
