Future of the Frohnburgstadel: Ideas for sustainable use wanted

With the historic Frohnburgstadel, which is an impressive example of rural architecture in the middle of urban surroundings, the city of Salzburg is facing an exciting challenge. The building, which was originally built in 1769 as the farm building of Frohnburg Castle, had to be closed in April 2024 due to serious structural defects. The required renovation of the city, which could cost an estimated one million euros, requires a sustainable usage concept that takes into account the needs of the city and its citizens.

The city administration has now called on the population to submit creative ideas and suggestions in order to shape the future use of the Frohnburgstadel. This step is in line with the aim of developing a sustainable and future -oriented usage concept for the building. The framework conditions for renovation have been improved by the abolition of monument protection; However, a well -thought -out concept is still required.

design options for the future

The historical building offers potential for various uses due to its structure and location. The city has two floor areas - the ground floor consists of three rooms and a gear, while the roof hall is accessible via a ramp and offers about 325 square meters of area. There are no windows, and the location in the green ensures that no additional car or heavy traffic is desired. Nevertheless, the city is easy to reach, both on foot and by bike through the Hellbrunner Allee, and is also connected to public transport.

The suggestions for future use range from the return of the original warehouse function to use as a cultural center, such as for exhibitions or events. For the majority of these uses, special approval will be necessary to ensure adequate use of the city.

Some of the previous considerations include conversion as a gallery or the implementation of cultural events. Now the citizens are called to submit their own ideas. These can be addressed directly to Vice Mayor Kay-Michael Dankl at bgmstv.dankl@stadt-salzburg.at. This is intended to initiate a communicative process that actively participates in the development of the Stadel.

The Frohnburgstadel is not only a historical relic, but also an important part of the region's identity. The integration of the community into this process could arise a concept that preserves the cultural heritage and at the same time integrates the building into modern city life.
