Zeller Schlösschen
The Zeller Schlösschen , also called Villa Sylvester , is located in Kirchweiler Zell am Wallersee in the municipality of Seekirchen am Wallersee near the branch church St. Mary Magdalene.
history
Presumably, the tower formed the predecessor of the Zeller Schlösschen with the Zellerwirt inn and the church of St. Maria Magdalena built a mansion that was owned by the St. Peter monastery at the end of the 12th century . On April 7, 1366 Friedrich von Seewalchen renounced the Zell estate . The new building erected in 1523 was a pipe smithy in the 17th century, i.e. H. an armory for rifles. The Zellerwirt inn was rebuilt in 1561.
The villa was bought in 1892 by the lawyer Julius Sylvester . The news of the assassination of the heir to the throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the province of Salzburg first became known in his house . Sylvester became Supreme President of the Constitutional Court in 1919. He died in Zellerschlössel in 1944 and is buried there.
Baths anti-Semitism in Seekirchen
Tourism played a modest role in Seekirchen behind agriculture, trade and industry. With the construction of the Westbahn in 1860 and the establishment of a bus connection to Salzburg, summer tourism began on the Wallersee . In 1923, a lido was therefore built on Julius Sylvester's property. The majority German-conservative population formed an ideal breeding ground for anti-Semitism in the community. This was fueled by the anti-Semitic politician Julius Sylvester. He was also a supporter of Georg von Schönerer , who was enthusiastically received by the local population in Seekirchen in 1883 and was able to proclaim his anti-Semitic theses. As Vice Mayor of Salzburg , Sylvester was also chairman of the “Germanic League ” and the “ Kyffhäuser Association ”. For him and his business objects, a so-called “Jew-free summer retreat” was a means of advertising to attract a German-national-minded audience.
In the Seekirchen anti-Semite association, founded on July 30, 1922, the association's statutes called for the gathering of German-Aryan citizens against the "life-corrosive, burrowing and strangling Semites (Jews)" . Another purpose of the association consisted in the "endeavor to keep the summer retreat in future Jews clean" . This was then enforced against Jews who already lived in the village; from then on only "Aryan summer visitors " could enjoy the bathing offer at Wallersee.
villa
The rather inconspicuous villa has an attached stair tower to the north with a low entrance porch. A loggia-like terrace structure lies against the banks of the Wallersee . In the house, a small, rectangular main building can be discovered, which is covered by a hipped gable roof with forehead on both sides. The renovation of the villa in 1893 left little as it was. Next to the entrance is the year 1523.
