THE “SALZBURGER STIERWASCHER”
www.visit-salzburg.net/funfacts.htm
I
n earlier times (during the time of the peasants’ revolts of approx.
1525), the city was besieged by a hostile army. Salzburg was
fortified well back then, so the enemy was not able to conquer
them. Therefore, he sought for an alternative. He wanted to
starve the city so long until they were ready to admit defeat. The
army closed a ring around the city, so that no one would be able to get
in or out.
The people of Salzburg figured the intention of their enemy out. Although
they have always been able to rely on their walls, they now were in a
dangerous situation. If the siege would last longer then they had
planned, a large famine would break out. Thus, the townmajor ordered
a strict fasting. Nevertheless, one day only one bull was left that has not
been butchered yet. He was dapple brown and well nurtured.
The townmajor came up with a ruse: In the early morning of the next day,
the bull was driven over the wide castle walls and shown to the enemy,
so that he would not think that the people of Salzburg were already
starving! In the following night, they painted the dapple bull white and
showed him on the next morning to the besiegers. On the third morning,
a jet black bull trotted over the walls. The enemy soldiers were perplexed,
believing that the people of Salzburg had to be supplied with food for a
long time, so eventually the army withdrew in a dark night.
Great joy reigned in the city. The citizens led the bull down to the Salzach
and washed him so long, until he was dapple brown again. And because
of this, the people are called “Stierwascher” (bull washers) ever since.
Politics
Austria is as a democratic republic a member
of the European Union since 1995. The
Republic of Austria’s Head of State is the
federal president (currently Heinz Fischer),
who is elected every six years by the
Austrian citizens. The head of government is
the federal chancellor.
The Austrian national holiday is on October
26. This date reminds of October 26,
1955, the commemorable day when the
National Assembly of that time passed the
neutrality bill and – after an occupation by
the victorious nations of WWII that lasted
for ten years – that, according to the Austrian
Independence Treaty, no allied soldier of an
occupational army may remain on Austrian
ground. With the signing of this treaty and
the pledge for everlasting neutrality, Austria
received its full sovereignty back.
Austria’s States
Languages
Religion
Although Austria, with
its 84,000 sq km, is a
relatively small country,
the republic is very
diverse. The nine states
of Salzburg, Carinthia,
Upper Austria, Lower
Austria, Tyrol, Vorarlberg,
Styria, Burgenland,
and Vienna could
not be more different
concerning landscape,
culture, and regional
language varieties.
The official language in
Austria is German; also,
for the majority of the
Austrian population it
is the mother tongue.
Throughout time, a
massive amount of
different dialects and
accents have evolved.
Among the officially
approved minority
languages and regional
official languages in
Austria are Croatian,
Slovenian, and
Hungarian.
Most Austrians are
Christian; two thirds of the
population adhere to the
Roman Catholic Church.
Approximately 376,000 are
Protestants, approximately
338,000 are Muslims.
(Footnote: no new figure
since population census
of 2001). Additional minor
groups are Buddhists,
Jewish people, and Hindus.
Austria lies in the heart
of Europe and offers a
great infrastructure, an
excellent connection
to the neighboring
countries, and an optimal
access to international
economies and markets.
As a republic, Austria is a federal state that
consists of nine different member states.
Each of the nine states has within the federal
constitution its own jurisdiction. The various
state constitutions are determined by the
respective Landtag. The head of each state
is its governor.
Austria is a constitutional state, which
means that governmental intervention
is only permitted in accordance with the
law. This principle protects – just like the
independence of Austrian courts – the
citizens against governmental despotism.
Additionally, in Austria government and
church (i.e. religion) are strictly divided, so
there is no state religion.
The Austrian government functions after
the tenets of the division of powers. This
procedure aims to prevent corruption and
concentration of power. The legislation, the
executive, and the judicial branches are
therefore separated and distributed among
different organs.
The Austrian government is founded on
the liberal principle and especially on the
membership principles of the European
Union. Both the federal constitution as
well as the EU contract of Lisbon (about
principles and structure of the EU) are the
most important legal foundations of the
Austrian political system.
A major part of the democratic order in
Austria is the existence and diversity of
political parties. Currently, the following
parties are represented through delegates in
the Austrian National Assembly (legislation
period: five years):
• Social Democrats Sozialdemokratische Partei Österreichs
(SPÖ)
• Austrian People‘s Party Österreichische Volkspartei (ÖVP)
• Liberal Party of Austria - Freiheitliche
Partei Österreichs
• The Green Party - Die Grünen – Die
Grüne Alternative (Grüne)
• Team Stronach
• Neos
The SPÖ and ÖVP are the longest existing
parties of Austria and are called traditionally
the “Großparteien” (major parties) or
“Volksparteien” (people’s parties). The FPÖ,
which also already exists for a few decades,
sees itself as part of the “Third faction”. The
advent of the Green Party dates back to
years 1978 and 1982. They finally formed as
a regular party of parliament in 1986.

2Untersberg
Flachgau:
The Untersberg, which belongs
to Berchtesgaden’s alps, has a
height of 1,973 m and stretches for
approximately 70 sq km over the
Bavarian-Austrian borderland. Its
two most important summits are the
Pongau:
The New World of Water
“Berchtesgadener Hochthron” and
the “Salzburger Hochthron” (1,857
m). From the “Geiereck” in the area
of Untersberg railway’s summit
station, you are already very close
the “Salzburger Hochthron”. After
entering the gondola cableway in
the valley station of St. Leonhard in
Grödig, you can enjoy the view over
“Rosittental” and the surrounding,
untouched alpine world in a relaxing
trip into the heights. When you arrive
at the summit station of Unterberg’s
railway, a great alpine panorama
already awaits you, from the
“Gebirgsjäger” memorial, over the
lakes of the Salzkammergut, to the
perpetual ice of the “Hohe Tauern”.
In winter, the mountain invites to
downhill skiing. The Untersberg,
situated
south
of
Mozart’s
hometown, also offers sporting
activities and relaxing opportunities
during the rest of the year: climbing,
hiking, paragliding, a guided tour
through the Schellenberger ice cave
or simply taking a relaxing break by
enjoying local culinary specialties in
one of the chalets or at the foot of the
mountain in a cozy inn…
According to a legend, Emperor
Frederick Barbarossa is asleep
inside Mt. Untersberg. His beard is
said to be growing longer and longer
around a round table and to have
grown round two times. Myth says
that when the beard has grown three
times around the table the end of
the world has come. When Frederick
leaves the mountain, there will be no
further Holy Roman Emperor and the
last great battle of humankind will be
fought on the Walserfeld, a pasture at
Wals, west of Salzburg.

Old Market
The Old Market in the Old Town of Salzburg has already
been laid out as a municipal trading and marketplace in
the 13th century. Today it consists of public rows of houses, of which the core dates back to the Middle Ages but
has been overprinted several times in early modern style.
A real oddity of the Old Market is the smallest Old Town
house of Salzburg. With a breadth of 1.42 meters it is to be
found beside the popular café Tomaselli. The tiny house
emerged through the making of a small alley between
1830 and 1860.
Christkindlmarkt
The Salzburger Christkindlmarkt can be visited every year from the
middle of November until shortly after Christmas at Domplatz and
Residenzplatz. The traditional huts and the specially built starlit sky
as lighting give the fair a unique appearance.
Domplatz and Marienstatue
The “Mariensäule” (Mary’s Pillar) represents the optical center of
Domplatz. The statue of Maria Immaculata is surrounded on all four
sides by allegorical figures: Angel, Devil, Truth (Wisdom), and Church.
A tablet on the side facing the dome explains the meaning of the colossal statues: The secret of Immaculate Conception be so great that
the spirit of the angels be moved by great delight, the human wisdom
disappear, the devil in malevolence grate, and the triumphing church
rejoice.
Through its enclosed form, Domplatz has proven itself as the performance venue of Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s famed “Jedermann”
(Everyman). During the summer months both stage and grand stand
invite to a relaxing break in the center of Old Town’s flair.
Getreidegasse is Salzburg’s most fa1
mous historical alleyway
and shopping promenade. It is characterized
by high and slim rows of
houses with their diverse
guild symbols over the
storefronts.
Judengasse
(Jew
alley) in Salzburg is
2
mostly seen as an exten-
sion of Getreidegasse by
strollers. The narrow alleyway leads in a slight
bend up from the Old
Market to Waagplatz.
In Judengasse many
houses remind of the holocaust and Salzburg’s
history in WWII. In house
number 15, a synagogue
was situated until 1415,
house number 13 was the
residence of composer
Heinrich Biber between
1672 to 1684.
Kaigasse - If one
strolls from Mozart3
platz out of town or from
Kapitelplatz
through
Kapitelgasse in the di-
rection of Kaiviertel, he
finds himself back in
Kaigasse. “Back here”
life runs at a more leisurely pace than on the
crowded squares and in
Getreidegasse. Beside
some faculties of the
University of Salzburg,
there are also the offices of the government
in Kaigasse to be found.
Here, one encounters
fewer tourists but more
students and politicians
on their way somewhere.
Tip!
Festspielbezirk (Festival
District)
bergfelsen” from the
“Sigmundstor” lies Herbert-von-Karajan-Platz in
Salzburg’s Old Town. In the
vicinity of the square, one
can find the “Bürgerspital”,
the “Großes Festspielhaus”, the House for Mozart, the Old University and
Hotel Goldener Hirsch. The
luxuriant Horse Pond was
restored by archbishop
Firmian in 1732.
Linzergasse- In the
shade of Kapuziner6
berg, the ancient Linzer
Gasse, starting from the
“Platzl“ at the “Staatsbrücke” and finishing
there, where the Linzer
Gate stood until 1894,
has lost nothing of its
busyness. Since ancient
Roman times, the Linzergasse was the main road
of the districts to the
right of the Salzach and
formed the most important outward road from
the state capital and
residential city of Salzburg in the direction of
Linz, Vienna, and to the
northeastern Habsburger realm.
Square7Markart
Markart Square is
named after Salzburg’s
painter Hans Markart, the
“prince of painting” of the
Viennese Ringstraße era.
House number eight was
the residence of the Mozart family. On the opposite side, the state theatre
and the main entry to the
famed Mirabellgarten can
be found.

Residenzplatz and
Residenzbrunnen
Residenzplatz is a magnificent courtyard of
the prince-archbishop’s
residences. In the center of the square is the
residential fountain to be
found, Salzburg’s most
beautiful and also largest fountain. The water is
potable, by the way.
Furthermore, Residenzplatz serves now and
then as a venue for large
sport or music events.
Here, football broadcasts, live concerts, and
New Years Eve parties
take place. Every year in
September, the Rupertikirtag (Rupert’s Feast
Day) is held on Residenzplatz.
The Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse is among
9
the oldest streets of Sal-
zburg: It emerged around
1140 in the time, when
the Franciscan church
became a parish church.
The alley enclosed the city
to the west until approximately 1620 to the great
women’s garden of the
St. Peter women’s mon-
astery to Kollgegienkirche,
Hofstallgasse, and Karajanplatz. Famous residents
of Sigmund-Haffner-Gasse
were archbishop Wolf Dietrich, his mistress Salome
Alt, or composer Heinrich
Biber.
Steingasse
Only a stone’s
10
throw away from the
roaring traffic of the 21st
century, the ancient Steingasse, situated at the foot
of the Capuchin mountain
and beside the Salzach,
has lost nothing of its medieval charm. After passing the inner stone gate, a
wonderful view to Castle
Hohensalzburg and an
interesting insight into the
alleyway with its beautifully renovated houses,
the green of the Capuchin
mountain, and several
small stores, bars, book
stores, and galleries await
you there.
The “Großes Festspielhaus”
(Grand Festival Hall),
the “Haus für Mozart”
(House for Mozart) and the
Felsenreitschule together
form with Domplatz and
Kollegienkirche the Festival

Open-air Museum Großgmain
bei Salzburg
On a 500.000 sq m large compound within the nature park
Untersberg, close to the city of Salzburg the Salzburg open-air
museum is situated.
The Salzburg open-air museum documents rural building, living,
and farming in the state of Salzburg from the 16th to the 20th
century. 100 original buildings as farms, craft houses, smithies,
saw mills, mills, barns and alpine pastures can be seen here. The
open-air museum is separated into five areas because just as
Salzburg consists of five states, the areas are aligned after that
concept into Flachgau, Tennengau, Pongau, Pinzgau, and Lungau.
Interesting permanent and special exhibitions and diverse crafting
demonstrations will make your visit an unforgettable experience
and offer the visitors a culture and leisure experience with high
memorability.
A break in the historical museum’s inn “Salettl” rounds off the museum experience with regional, culinary specialties. The children
can meanwhile play on the nearby adventure playground with
water facilities, a tree house, swings, and several other attractions.
The multimedia-supported tractor exhibition with its own climbing
tractor fascinates both the young and the old. A museum quiz
invites to exploring and discovering. If one does not like to be on

ART, CULTURE &
EVENTS
TRADITIONS
In Salzburg exist many different customs and
traditions, of which many only are practiced
in a few regions nowadays.
For example, each year on November 6, the
“Leonhardiritt” (Leonhard’s Ride) takes place
in some regions of Salzburg (e.g. St. Johann).
It is performed to honor the saint Leonhard,
the patron saint of horses and cows. On his
memorial day there are also blessings of
animals combined with church parades and
horse rides taking place.
Each Thursday evening in Pre-Christmas
time, groups disguise as herders, angels,
Mary, and Joseph and knock on each door in
the neighborhood. They are called “Anklöckler” and bring congratulations and blessings, remind with songs of Joseph and Mary
asking for lodging, and occasionally collect
donations for charity organizations. The “Anklöckler” receive often a small gift by the
families for their performances or as previously mentioned a donation.
Also, during Advent in the beginning of December, the Krampus, a creature resembling
the devil (or Santa’s little helper), accompanied by Santa Claus, visits the children with
his willow rod. In many communities and the
city of Salzburg the “Krampusläufe” (“incubus runs”) take place around December 5.
The magical and mysterious “Raunächte”
(twelve nights after Christmas) belong to
the “Perchten” with their often elaborately
worked masks and head pieces. Basically,
there are two types of “Perchten”: the light,
“good” Schönperchten and the dark, “evil”
Schiachperchten (schiach = ugly). The latter
appear usually with shaggy pelt costumes,
horns, carved grimaces and rods yet they are
not to be confused with the character of the
“Krampus”.
With the “Raunächte” (Thomasnacht December 21 and 22, Christmas Eve December
24 and 25, New Years Eve December 31, and
January 1, and the night of Epiphany on January 5 and 6,) in which we humans can understand the language of the animals according
to the legend, another old superstitious custom is connected to Raunächte: With incense
aromas from a smoke pan and holy water,
the evil spirits are banished from the houses,
farms, and stables of the humans.
A special event takes place every year
around September 24, the name day of St.
Rupert, Salzburg’s state patron. For five days,
the people celebrate on “Rupertikirtag” in
Salzburg’s Old Town (Rupert’s Feast Day), a
traditional fair or church fair. Everyone in the
city is there. Historical fairground rides as
well as shooting galleries, Tunnels of Horror, and merry-go-arounds entertain the visitors. Music, dance, and theater are also part
of the program, in the beer gardens, party
tents, and the farmer’s market traditional
and local delicacies are offered. Traditional
groups and craftsmen are just a part of the
spectacle as Salzburg’s “Hanswurst”. The climax of “Rupertikirtag”, which is attended by
over 100,000 people every year, are the final
grand fireworks.
UNESCO World Cultural Heritage–
Salzburg Old Town
The spoiled local often only realizes what
a unique gem the Old Town of Salzburg is,
when his guests stand deeply impressed beside him.
Indeed, the city of Salzburg – and especially
the historical Old Town – is among the most
beautiful spots that one can find in Europe,
which was also documented through the
nomination for World Cultural Heritage by
the UNESCO in 1997.
The city definitely does not lack visual attractions and if one visits Salzburg, it can
only be recommended that he bring along a
little time to be enchanted and captured by
the unique atmosphere and the city life. Be
it art appreciation, a shopping tour, a walk,
visiting a café or just “a day in the city” – Salzburg’s Old Town has many charming places.
By the way: You can not only visit Salzburg
on foot but also on a boat – since 2002 there
is a panorama boat, that goes on the Salzach
and makes great views possible.
MOZART
Salzburg’s Most Famous Son –
His Life and Work
born 1756 (Salzburg) – died 1791 (Vienna)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on
January 27, 1756 as the seventh child of the
“Hochfürstlicher Salzburgischer Kammermusikus” (Princely Salzburgish Chamber
Musician) Leopold Mozart (1719-1787) and his
wife Anna Maria Walpurga (1720-1778), who
was from St. Gilgen. Already in early childhood, the extraordinary musical talent of the
two remaining children Maria Anna, called
“Nannerl” (1751-1829), and especially her
younger brother Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
In January 1762, Leopold Mozart went on his
first journey with the family. For Wolfgang, a
time of travelling began, a time of restlessness that filled almost a third of his short
life and led him to the most glamorous royal
courts. In Munich and Vienna, the wonder
child Wolfgang celebrated great triumphs.
In summer 1763, the Mozart family went on
a great journey through Western Europe that
led them over Germany, Belgium, and France
to London.
Later, the desperate, Europe wide search for a
suitable employment for the young musician
and composer Wolfgang Amadeus, who has
been concertmeister of Salzburg’s court music since 1772, was without success. The political and social reforms, which the change
of government brought to Salzburg in 1772
– with prince-archbishop Hieronymus Count
Colloredo, a modern prince of enlightenment
came to power – forced Mozart to live a strictly
regulated life. This circumstance led to a conflict with his employer that lasted for years. In
1773, the Mozart family moved to a house on
Hannibalplatz (today Makartplatz 8, Mozart’s
residence).
After the final dispute between Mozart and
Salzburg’s archbishop in 1781, Wolfgang tried
to settle down as a freelance artist in Vienna,
which appeared to be “the best place in the
world for his occupation”. From this point onward, he earned his living most of the time as
an opera composer (“The Abduction from the
Serailo” KV 384, “The Impresario” KV 486,
“Le Nozze di Figaro” KV 492), as a virtuoso
on the piano with own compositions, and
as a teacher. On August 4, 1782, he married
against the will of his father Constanze Weber (1762-1842).
Mozart gained his last success in opera on
September 6th 1791 in Prag with the premiere
of “La Clemenza di Tito” and “Zauberflöte”
at Freihaustheater in Vienna. On December
5th 1971 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart deceided
at the age of 35 in his house at Rauhensteingasse in Vienna, in which he composed
“Zauberflöte” and his unfinished “Requiem”.
Salzburg’s most famous son was burried
at the St. Marx cemeterie in an anonymous
grave.

Mozart’s Birth House
26 years, from 1747 to 1773, the
Mozart family lived on the third

Getreidegasse 9. Here, the famous
son Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
was born on January 27, 1756. The
house is a museum today. The visitor is led through original Mozart
rooms, which are located on three

the portraits that were made in his
time.

by citizens of the city of Salzburg.
Their mission was, as it was Mozart’s intention, to build a bridge
between tradition and contemporaneous culture. The private NGO
tends to the legacy of Mozart in
its three core areas of concerts,
museums (Mozart’s birthplace,
Mozart’s residence) and science.
In the “Education Area” it invites
in its new format “Klangkarton”
children, adolescents, and families
to concerts, guided tours and visits
to classes. Through the connection
to around 100 Mozart communities
worldwide, the Foundation Mozarteum Salzburg keeps the legacy
of Mozart alive.

Mozart’s Residence
After their third journey to Vienna
in 1773, the Mozarts moved to their
new residence in “Tanzmeisterhaus“ on the former Hannibalplatz
(today Makartplatz 8). The spatial
apartment on the first floor with
its eight rooms offered sufficient
space for meetings with friends
and musicians. Before Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart moved in the beginning of 1781 finally to Vienna,
he had lived for eight years in the
house. The building was destroyed
in WWII to a large part, then reconstructed and finally in 1996 as the
second Mozart museum reopened.

Mozartplatz & Mozartdenkmal
Mozartplatz (formerly: Michaelsplatz) emerged after the termination of several houses through
prince-archbishop Wolf Dietrich.
On Mozartplatz 4, the “Antretter”
house, the faculty for musicology of the University of Salzburg
is situated. The “Landschaftskanzler” and “Hofkriegsrat” Johann
Ernst von Antretter and his wife
Maria Anna Elisabeth, whose entire family was tightly connected
to Mozart family, bought the house
in September 1765. In the house of
Mozartplatz 8 the widow of Mozart, Constanze von Nissen, died
on March 6, 1842. The center of the
square is the Mozart memorial of
Ludwig Schwanthaler. Its festive
unveiling took place in 1842 in the
presence of the sons of Mozart.

Sebastian’s Cemetery
Prince-archbishop Wolf Dietrich
von Raitenau had the cemetery
built in the style of an Italian “Campo Santo” around 1600. Salzburg’s
civic and merchant families and
famous people have found their
resting place among the beautiful
arcades of the cemetery. Among
them are Mozart’s father Leopold,
Wolfgang’s wife Constanze, her
second husband Georg Nikolaus
von Nissen, her aunt Genovefa von
Weber (mother of the composer
Carl Maria von Weber) as well as
Elia Castello, the builder of Gabriel’s chapel. Mozart’s beloved sister
“Nannerl” was not buried on Sebastian’s cemetery but on Peter’s
cemetery.
In the passage to the world famous
Sebastian’s cemetery, the tomb of
the famous physician Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim,
aka Paracelsus, is to be found
since 1564. But the most impressive

Mozartkugel
Fifteen years after he invented
the Mozartkugel, Salzburg’s confectioner Paul Fürst received a
gold medal in 1905 for his already
very popular product. He chose
the name for the round pistachio/
marzipan creation with the sweet
nougat hull to honor the back then
not yet so popular son of Salzburg
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. With
the same elaborate manufacturing
method and recipe, the “Original
Salzburg’s Mozartkugels” are still
manufactured by Fürst’s descendants in the 21 century.
SOUND
OF MUSIC
THE MOVIE
It was in 1965, when one of most successful and popular productions in the history of
movie making was released in the cinemas:
“The Sound of Music”. The movie is based on
the true story of the widowed baron Georg Ritter von Trapp, who fell in love with and married
Maria, the applicant and governess to his seven children. As Hitler annexed Austria in 1938,
the family decided to migrate to America because their ideals of life were not reconcilable
with the ones of National Socialism.
Director Robert Wise’s filming of this romantic,
yet tragic, fate was awarded with five Oscars.
The production made the main actress Julie
Andrews to a crowd favorite and marked the
beginning of a long, glamorous career. Up until
today – from the U.S. to Japan – a very large international fan base exists. Ironically, the movie and the story behind the movie are barely
known to anyone in Austria and Salzburg, although “The Sound of Music” is enormously
popular internationally.
Many scenes from “The Sound of Music” were
filmed right in Mozart’s city, others in the surrounding rural area. For example, Anif Palace,
Castle Hohenwerfen, Mondsee, Fuschl, St.
Gilgen, and St. Wolfgang served as settings
for the movie. Fans are recommended to take
the four hour Salzburg “Sound of Music” tour,
which includes a visit to some of the original
movie settings. Another feature is “The Sound
of Salzburg Dinner Show”, where songs from
the musical as well as other melodies that
made Salzburg famous are played.
Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz was filmed in
Mozart’s city. Even in 2008, Nicolas Cage
was with “Season of the Witch” guest in Salzburg.

A very significant part of its popularity is
beside the Hollywood movie also due to the
Broadway musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein, which guested in New York, won six
Tony awards, and was sold as a record over
three million times. After more than 2,400
shows in London and the great success in
the German language area, the legendary
musical also had its premiere in Salzburger
Landestheater on October 23, 2011.
“Sound of Music Tour” Booking:
Aside from “The Sound of Music”, Salzburg
was able to make some headlines in the more
recent past by serving as a filming spot for
several international productions. For example, Castle Hohenwerfen and the famous sport
and winter sport village Filzmoos were part of
the external shots of the “2nd unit” in the Guy
Ritchie’s thriller “Sherlock Holmes – A Game
of Shadows” in 2011. In the end of 2009, the

house” in St. Johann. In the Dieselkino in Bruck, there are five state
of the art cinema halls that hold
around 800 visitors. Unlike its
counterpart in St. Johann, this cinema also broadcasts operas from
the various international stages
(live) into the hall. Of course, there
are also 3D movies, special children films, and at least one current
movie in the original version to
be seen. Once a month at “Filmfrühstück” (movie breakfast), the
cineastes as well as the culinary

Mozartwoche (Mozart Week)
Each year in January, around the
time of Mozart’s birthday, the Foundation Mozarteum Salzburg hosts
“Mozartwoche” with opera performances and orchestra, chamber, and solo concerts. Salzburg’s
classic festival in winter exists already since 1956. World renowned
Mozart interpreters like Nikolaus
Harnoncurt, András Schiff or Marc
Minkowski, orchestras like the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the
Musiciens du Louvre, Grenoble,
or the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, Ensembles like the Hagen
quartet or the Artemis quartet and
soloists establish the artistic reputation of the festival in Salzburg.

Easter Festival Salzburg
Salzburg’s Easter festival was
founded in 1967 by Herbert von
Karajan as a supplement to Salzburg festival, which takes place in
August, and established itself in
a very short time as an exclusive
and artistically brilliant festival.
Herbert von Karajans basic idea
at the foundation of the Easter
festival was to further develop the
festival idea in Salzburg, although
the Easter festival never saw itself
as an offshoot of Salzburg festival
in summer but as an event with its
own profile and characteristics.
This was made possible through
top directors, high quality interpreters, and elaborate opera productions.

Sommerszene is often perceived
as the counterpart to Salzburg
Festival. Since 1971, “Szene Salzburg“ stands for contemporaneous stagecraft and music. Initially a
platform for local artists, the event
has developed over decades to an
internationally respected avantgarde festival that is unchallenged
in Austria.
The focus is on the contemporaneous world of dancing in the
fourteen days lasting festival. Theater, music, movie, and fine arts
complement the program of sommerszene. Border crossing, artistic
risk, new forms of presentation,
and high quality are the features
that characterize the program every year.
“Bauernherbst” in the city and state
of Salzburg brings many visitors
each year to its over 2,000 events.
“Bauernherbst” in Salzburg means:
Wandering from one alpine pasture
to next under a golden autumn
sun and enjoying local specialties,
celebrating the ceremonial driving
down of cattle from the mountain
to the valley and Thanksgiving, experiencing traditional customs and
crafts, enjoying specialties, and
dancing to traditional music. Many
villages, even whole valleys know
how to celebrate “Bauernherbst”
appropriately.
100 concerts in 50 locations provide special musical experiences
each year in October in Salzburg’s
Old Town. “Jazz & the City” transforms the Old Town for six days –
with its cafés, bars, squares, galleries, and many other venues – into a
Mecca of the music scene. The program of the event, which is hosted
by Salzburg’s “Altstadtverband”
(Old Town Union), includes world
music, Jazz, and electronic music
of international standard but also
promising newcomers. And all of
that for free.
Each year in late autumn, the city
transforms into a Mecca for Jazz
fans of all ages. “Salzburger JazzHerbst” counts to the most elegant
Jazz festivals in Europe and draws
since its foundation in 1996 international and Austrian Jazz musicians to Salzburg. Among the artists are true legends, Newcomers,
and sleepers of the scene that delight the audience at the fantastic
concerts and Jazz sessions. In 2014,
“Jazz Herbst” moves to Grafenegg.
sommerszene
The festival begins each year on
Saturday before Palm Sunday with
the opera premiere and continues
until Easter Monday, on which the
second performance of the opera
takes place traditionally. In addition, concerts of the “Sächsische
Staatskapelle Dresden” and the
choir of “Bayrischer Rundfunk” are
scheduled on six evenings. The art
director of 2012 was Maestro Christian Thielemann, a former pupil of
Herbert von Karajan, who follows
in the footsteps of Sir Simon Rattle,
who was the art director for many
years.

(Whitsun Festival)
Herbert von Karajan organized the
first Whitsun concerts in 1973, to
fulfill the demand for tickets from
potential Easter festival subscribers. Three Easter concerts each
were conducted by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra with Herbert
von Karajan as maestro. After
the death of Herbert von Karajan,
guest concerts from international
orchestras like the Chicago Symphony Orchestra or the London
Symphony Orchestra were taken
into the program. The initial idea to
dedicate the Whitsun concerts to
the music of Anton Bruckner, did
not find any succession in 1989.
Since 2012, art director Cecilia Bartoli is responsible for the Whitsun
festival.

Each year in September the time

Rupert, Salzburg’s state patron,
and counts to the most popular
festivals of the locals. With the
farmer’s market, fair and market
stands, merry-go-rounds, a Ferris
wheel, Salzburg’s “Hanswurst”,
and “Pawlatschentheater”, the festival is an attraction for the young
and the old. Additionally, “Rupertikirtag” offers interesting insights
into art, customs, and crafts and
entices the visitor with countless

Salzburger Kulturtage (Salzburg’s Culture Days)
Each year in October, “Salzburger
Kulturtage” take place in Mozart’s
city. Born from the idea to transform
the city in autumn into a scene for
superb performances and concerts
of national and international artists, “Salzburger Kulturtage” have
become part of cultural life since its
foundation in 1972. Several organizers, from “Landestheater” to the
dome’s orchestra, from the palace
concerts to the culture unions, all
focus their program on two October
weeks under the banner of “Salzburger Kulturtage”. The focus lies
especially on opera, ballet, and concerts. Among the event locations
are Salzburg’s dome, the “Großes
Festspielhaus”, the Mozarteum as
well as the marble hall in Mirabell
Palace.
Over 150 participants on and off
the stage of the “Großes Festspielhaus” take care that each year
Salzburg’s Advent choral concert
(Adventsingen) is, what it is famous
for: a contemplative, unforgettable event that is unthinkable to
take out of Salzburg’s calendar in
Pre-Christmas time. The Salzburg
Advent choral concert, which became the model for the other choral concerts in the Alpine region,
celebrated its 60th anniversary in
2006. Over 36,000 people come
each year from Austria and other
countries to Salzburg, to witness
the world famous original up close.

Healing Worlds on Salzburg’s
Sun Terrace
Already in the times of the emperors, the
healing effect of St. Veit’s medicinal climate
was recognized and a tuberculosis sanatorium was built on Salzburg’s sun terrace.
The health resort St. Veit lies in an area easily to demarcate and benefits from the exceptional medicinal climate. The hiking in
the healthy altitude receives therefore an
important role. People seeking recreation
encounter on their walks and hikes “oases
of tranquility” every now and then: There
are deckchairs directly on the summit with a
view on Hohe Tauern, loungers, and Kneipp
affusions. On the “Barfußweg” (bare foot
way) the sense of touch of the feet is rediscovered and the body animated through
foot reflexology.

The “Gasteiner Heilstollen” (healing tunnel)
in Radhausberg in Böckstein is known since
more than 50 years as a worldwide unique
therapy center for diseases of the rheumatic
spectrum disorder, chronic airway diseases,
and allergies. Two kilometers deep within
the mountain, a worldwide unique medicinal
climate unfolds, of which the effect is proven. The ideal interaction of the three power
factors warmth, humidity, and the naturally
elevated Radon content form the basis of
enormous healing successes.
Old Healing Knowledge
Rediscovered:
Health Vacation at the Waterfall:
“Hohe Tauern Health”
The initiative Hohe Tauern Health offers especially patients with allergic asthma the opportunity of a health holiday where the healing power of the Krimmler waterfalls is made
use of. Upon a stay of more than 14 days in
one of the ten certificated Allergic Tauern
Hotels with waterfall therapy and selected
activities in the national park Hohe Tauern,
a remarkable improvement of all patients
lung function is diagnosed, which continues
for at least four months. This effect can be
traced back to the finely sprayed drops and
unusually high ion concentration in the water, which is due to the drop height and the
frequent hitting of rocks. The effect is acknowledged and confirmed by many doctors and scientists.

Traditional European healing art in Saalachtal in Pinzgau
The TEH society has collected the old regional healing knowledge of the women in

label “Traditionelle Europäische Heilkunde”
(Traditional European Healing Art) to the
public. The traditional remedies from the
Saalachtal, like marigold, amber, elder, plantain, beer, or oat as well as old methods of
administrations and cures, have been accepted into the UNESCO World Heritage of
Austria. On the four TEH farms, interested
people can discover the roots of European
healing art for themselves: Be it through producing tinctures, baths, inunctions, salves,
or teas, be it by doing detoxification, curing through smoke, treading water or doing
herbal hiking tours. Highest standards and
health improving effects are in the focus.

WINTER
NORDIC SPORTS
and Other Trend Sports
Nordic fitness, Nordic walking or Nordic cruising
– in the state of Salzburg one can indulge in the
Nordic winter sports in a wonderfully idyllic nature landscape. For example, through the classic
cross-country skiing on over 2,200 trail kilometers, through walking on 2,600 kilometers of winter
trails, through Nordic cruising across the country,
through snow shoe hiking, or through ski touring.
Beside the usual winter sports, there are also activities that delight adrenaline junkies: A new mountain
dimension makes the trend sports snow kiting, air
boarding, zorbing, or snow tubing possible. Cool
cracks get their kicks from ice climbing on frozen
waterfalls, artificial ice towers, or from a flight with
the Flying Fox XXL in Leogang. In Bamberg am
Wildkogel, the 14 kilometers long sled run is a great
attraction: It counts to the longest downhill slopes in
the world. Additionally, there are 120 sled runs, half
of which are entirely or partially lighted, and 68 ice
skating opportunities.
www.nordicsports.salzburgerland.com
When the first flakes fall from the sky, the
state of Salzburg undergoes a wonderful transformation: Alpine meadows turn
into a spirited World Cup downhill slope,
small mountain villages turn into world
famous skiing resorts, and nature lovers
turn into passionate skiers, freeriders, and
cross-country skiers. The state of Salzburg
counts with its broad selection in the heart
of the Alps to the most prestigious winter
sport regions in the world. The guaranteed
snow on over 2,200 slope kilometers, the
modern lifts, the hospitality, Salzburg’s
Super Ski Card as well as the diverse selections of hotels make their contribution
to that.
FASCINATION
FREERIDING
Freeriding in Salzburg means plowing through untouched deep snow slopes, mastering challenging draws, and discovering always a new variation. Never has the off slope skiing been
more popular and trendy. Optimal equipment and perfect avalanche warning systems make
it possible: In the hinterland of Salzburg, a whole new terrain can be discovered. For newcomers, there are guided tours and attractive courses offered that include avalanche training. For
experienced cracks there is an unknown variety of challenging alpine tours and variations.
GENTLE
WINTER
It does not always have to be the slope or the
cross-country ski trail: Lighted sled runs and
nostalgic horse-drawn sleigh tours contribute
to a true winter experience. The state of Salzburg offers beside the popular and usual winter
sports all sorts of varieties for the young and
the old: Sport skills are not required here, only
a good mood, a small portion romance, and the
interest of trying something new.
SKI TOUR
ADVENTURE
For a long time, Ski touring was reserved for
locals only. Because only those who know the
terrain and can assess its difficulty can enjoy the ascent to snowy Alpine meadows and
downhill skiing in the deep snow. With professionally educated ski and mountain guides and
helpful tour maps, the fun off the slope is possible for everyone now. If you want to leave the
slopes behind you and try the first turns in the
terrain, you can find new perspectives and a
unique experience in nature in the state of Salzburg’s winter mountains.

in Salzburg are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (clothing

stores and supermarkets at railway stations and airports (in Salzburg the SPAR supermarket at the main
station, which is also open until late at night as an
