A beautiful sight

Kollegienkirche (University Church), Salzburg A market takes place on Universitätsplatz from Monday to Friday. The square becomes a beautiful backdrop for locally produced products – impressively framed by the Kollegienkirche (also called the University Church). It was built according to plans by the famous architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and can be considered a masterpiece of the Baroque superstar architect. The Kollegienkirche is dedicated to "Our Lady." Adjacent to the Kollegienkirche is the Old University campus and Furtwängler Park, a remnant of the university's old botanical gardens. The Kollegienkirche was built between 1696 and 1707 and completed the ensemble of university buildings. At the very top of the façade are four statues. In the center, the Virgin Mary stands on a crescent moon. Inside, the church is decorated with outstandingly high-quality stucco work: a Maria Immaculata is flanked by angels; It protrudes from the wall above the altar, forming a single whole with it. It is framed by the four evangelists. The altar arrangement is unique; originally, the Collegiate Church had no altar at all; the stone tabernacle stood alone. The altar was only restored to its present form in 1735. The altar scene was created by Josef Anton Pfaffinger; the Maria Immaculata, however, was created by Diego Francesco based on designs by Fischer von Erlach.

Old Town Hall, Salzburg The Old Town Hall of Salzburg is a medieval building with a rococo façade. The city government now resides in Mirabell Palace. The building can be found on Kranzlmarkt, at the intersection of Getreidegasse and Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse, not far from the Old Market. The town hall has four floors, was built from natural stone (Salzburg conglomerate) and has stucco work on the outside façade. But the town hall would be just one of many medieval buildings in the old town of Salzburg - if its bell tower did not make it an important landmark. The house was originally built as a bourgeois residence. It dates back to the 14th century. In 1407, the city administration bought the building and used it as a court. The statue of Justitia above the entrance still bears witness to this today. The tower of the town hall served as a lookout point and clock tower. The clock mechanism that still sits in it today is probably the oldest in Austria. The golden age of the town hall was probably the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, until the Reformation and the resulting Peasants' War led to the Prince Archbishops restricting civic participation as much as possible. While Prince Archbishop Matthäus Lang was still under siege in the fortress, Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau reduced the Salzburg mayor ("Salt Mayor"?) to a representative figure without any significant power. This is also the reason why the town hall is much more modest than in comparably wealthy cities. The current design dates from the reign of Prince Archbishop Markus Sittikus and the years 1616 to 1618. The Lady Justice dates from this period, whereas the Rococo stucco was not made until 1772. In 1947 the city government moved into Mirabell Palace, but the Old Town Hall remained the property of the magistrate and is still used by them. Only the ground floor is rented out to businesses. In 2006, a pot full of gold coins from the 17th century was found buried in the basement of the town hall.

Construction & expansion of the early Hohensalzburg Fortress Under the leadership of Prince Archbishop Conrad I (1106 to 1147), a stone tower was built and over the next few years the fortified areas of the castle were continuously expanded. This trend continued throughout the 12th and 13th centuries, until most of today's fortress hill was enclosed. This area was called Bering. By this time, the Investiture Controversy had long since been settled, but Salzburg had developed economically and new conflicts between Bavaria and Babenberg and later Habsburg Austria caused new problems in the region. The "Salz Castle" became increasingly strategically important. The prosperity that Salzburg experienced in the late Middle Ages was accompanied by social unrest. Prince Archbishop Burkhard III of Weisspriach (1461 to 1466) had the four main towers that still exist today built, together with the outer fortification wall: bell tower in the north; trumpeter tower in the northeast; Krautturm in the north; and Schmied- or Arrestantenturm in the south. The Rohrbastei was built under the rule of Burkhard's successor, Prince Archbishop Bernhard von Rohr (1466 to 1481) - the rulers at that time had concerns: the miners in the south of Salzburg were becoming increasingly rebellious and the city's wealthy citizens were demanding more power and influence. But the fear of a Turkish invasion from the east was even more serious. The fortress had to be expanded further.

Hohensalzburg Fortress (built between 1060 and 1088) It is often described as the largest fortification in Central Europe, it is known as a bulwark in a prominent location, and tourists from overseas often refer to it somewhat incorrectly as "Salzburg Castle": Hohensalzburg Fortress dominates the cityscape and is Salzburg's landmark. No self-respecting tourist should miss a visit to the fortress. The oldest defenses on the southern slope of the Mönchsberg date back to Roman times. Where exactly they are located and how strongly fortified the mountain really was is unclear, however. The location of today's fortress would have made sense even then: from the position of the fortress, the surroundings of Salzburg and the Salzach River can be better controlled than from any other point in the city. Prince Archbishop Eberhard (1060 to 1088) built the first castle here, on the segment of the Mönchsberg that is now known as the Festungsberg. This first castle was completed in 1077 and can be seen as the result of the Investiture Controversy: a power struggle between the Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation, Henry IV, and Pope Gregory VII in Rome. The Archbishop of Salzburg was caught in the crossfire and sided with the Pope.

Makartsteg - Bridge over the Salzach, Salzburg The Makartsteg is a bridge over the Salzach in Salzburg's old town. It was named after the actually rather insignificant artist Hans Makart, who was born and grew up in Salzburg. As a painter, he established himself in Viennese historicism, appropriately in the capital, where he contributed many very lavish paintings for the redesign of the Ringstrasse buildings. The Makartsteg is only open to pedestrians and cyclists. The current Makartsteg is the youngest and most modern bridge over the Salzach, but already the third bridge of this name. The first was built here in 1905 in the Art Nouveau style, but was torn down again in 1967 when a larger construction became necessary. This second Makartsteg became known as the "swinging bridge" because it vibrated relatively strongly. The editorial team of Visit-Salzburg.net consists mainly of people who still walked the Makartsteg with great pleasure as children; The strong vibrations and oscillations are more likely to be due to weaknesses in the construction and planning than to desired effects. And with around 20,000 people crossing the Makartsteg every day, the second bridge was soon in poor condition too. In 2000 it was demolished. One year later, the current Makartsteg was opened with a big festival including fireworks over the Salzach. Live music along the Salzach on a warm June night ensured that the people of Salzburg immediately took the new bridge to their hearts. Around 25,000 visitors attended the opening. On one side of the Makartsteg you can see the mooring of the Amadeus, the tourist boat that first dropped anchor there at around the same time. Shortly before the bridge was opened, there was a suggestion to name the bridge after the physicist Christian Doppler, who was born not far from the bridge in 1803. Doppler had been virtually forgotten for decades and was only rediscovered by Salzburg in the late 1990s. In addition to a hospital, a school and a sweet from the Fürst house were also named after him. The city administration nevertheless decided to keep the much less important Hans Makart as the namesake.
