A look behind the scenes of the Innsbruck Chamber of Commerce history

The Tyrolean Chamber of Commerce has a rich history that is deeply rooted in the development of Tyrol's economy. Oswald Wolkenstein, managing director in the field of industry, and Herlinde Keuschnigg, the chairwoman of the Tyrolean Folk Art Museum, recently gave an insight behind the scenes of the historic building of the former Chamber of Commerce in Innsbruck. This site is not only a striking landmark, but also an important part of the economic narrative of the region.

The roots of the Tyrolean Chamber of Commerce go far back to 1848, when Innsbruck merchants started the first chambers of commerce. Initiatives of this kind arose from the need to act against growing bureaucratic hurdles and to better represent the needs of the economy. The chambers of commerce served as self -administration organizations to promote economic development and to protect professional interests.

insight into industrial history

A highlight of the lead was the "room of industry", where Wolkenstein presented explanatory exposure to the guests of the history of Tyrolean industry. It became clear that industrial production in Tyrol has changed enormously over the years. An important turning point in 1947 was the founding of the Austrian industrial association, state group Tyrol. Nowadays the Tyrolean industry is internationally regarded for its high -quality products, with around 450 companies offering around 42,000 jobs.

Special attention is paid to the works of the well-known Tyrolean painter Albin Egger-Lienz, whose paintings are presented in the "Room of Industry". These works of art, which were created more than a century ago, reflect different branches of industry and show the importance of industry in the region at the time.

Current role of the Chamber of Commerce

In today's world, the Chamber of Commerce plays a central role in the economic life of Tyrol and represents a total of seven divisions: trade and craft, industry, trade, banks and insurance companies, transport and transport, tourism as well as the leisure industry, information and consulting. This diversity illustrates the importance of the chamber for the professional concerns of the region.
