      1639 - Red House. 01/01/1639. The married couple Michael Danner and Verena Rhomberg built the "Red House" in 1639 on the site of the vicarage that burned down in 1570. It is a fine example of the wooden construction that was predominant here in the past.

        The Red House is the symbol of the Austrian city of Dornbirn. Standing on Dornbirn's market square next to the parish church of St. Martin, the wooden building in the style of a Rhine Valley house was erected in 1639 and is now one of the city's sights.
        The building is located in the center of the city, just southwest of the market square and next to the parish church, in the Markt district. In 1639, Michael Danner and his wife Verena, née Rhomberg, built the stately Rheintalhaus and used it as a residence, inn and dance venue. The Red House is still run as an inn today. Subsequently, the building on the market square developed into a center of Dornbirn municipal politics. The flight of steps in front of the Red House was often used for official announcements, and the most important event in the early modern history of Dornbirn - the ransom from the Counts of Ems in 1771, which freed the people of Dornbirn from Ems sovereignty - also took place in the Red House.
        Fir and lion, the Danner - Rhomberg coat of arms, still adorn the main front gable today.
        In 1954, August Rhomberg and his wife, the architect Elfriede Rhomberg, saved the Red House from certain decay and demolition by the city. Thus, the oldest Rhine Valley house in the city was preserved and later became the city's landmark. In the middle of 2007, the restaurant in the building was extensively restored again.
        The architecturally rich structure of the red house, which deliberately refrains from symmetry, colorful painting (since the early modern era, real bull's blood has no longer been used to color the walls in their eponymous color), hand-hewn timbers, antique household items and real stoves, what also local history and handicraft antiques are what make up the building today.

                The Red House is the symbol of the city of Dornbirn. It is the oldest Rhine Valley house in Dornbirn, which was just saved from demolition thanks to a private initiative.
