City on a national and international scale from a cultural, business and
societal point of view.

MUSEUM OF THE FUTURE
MEDIA ARTS SINCE 1987
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
As early as 1979, the city of Linz
demonstrated with Ars Electronica its
recognition that digital culture and
media arts can be seen as drivers of
technological and societal innovations,
and has developed its unique strengths
from this premise.
Linz’s own perception of this development is reflected in Ars Electronica’s
slogan: “Art – Technology – Society” –
a slogan that is still relevant today and
which puts the social impacts of these
digital developments in the limelight.
Ars Electronica is the flagship for this
development: Founded as a festival
that was strongly characterised by the
concept of media arts, Ars Electronica
has become a world-famous centre of
media arts. In 1987, the internationally renowned computer art competition, the Prix Ars Electronica, was
founded, followed by Ars Electronica
Center as a museum of the future in
1996 and the Futurelab as a design
laboratory.
Ars Electronica Solutions, the youngest
section of Ars Electronica, transforms
artistic approaches into marketable
products.
Linz has a range of educational and research facilities active in the sphere of
media arts, digital culture and creative
industries: The Higher Technical Institute 1 Construction and Design and
the Federal Higher Institute for Artistic
Design teach the basic competencies. The Johannes Kepler University
with its studies in computer science/
mechatronics and web sciences, and
Linz University of Arts and Industrial
Design with its focus on intermedia
provide the knowledge base for young
creatives, as does the Anton Bruckner
Private University with the branch
of electronic music and Hagenberg
University of Applied Sciences with its
focus on media technology.

The creative region of Linz & Upper
Austria was established as a hub for
creative industries in 2011 and is
housed in Tabakfabrik Linz, a former
factory site. A creative industries
cluster is being formed here, which
promotes the development of start-ups
and enables a stronger interplay of
research, culture and business.
VALIE EXPORT CENTER
IN TABAKFABRIK LINZ
It includes the legacy in the collection
of LENTOS Kunstmuseum Linz and the
archive of VALIE EXPORT, the pioneer
of media arts from Linz, and is dedicated to the academic study of the archive and to making it accessible. This
means that Linz now houses two of the
most internationally important media
arts archives, since the archive of Ars
Electronica is also globally unique in
that it documents the development of
media arts from the very beginning.
Linz is experiencing the history, the
present and the future of media arts.
The Tabakfabrik is also to house the
latest element of Linz’s media arts: The
VALIE EXPORT Center, designed as an
international research centre for media www.cityofmediaarts.at
and performance art.

The Danube
shapes Linz
Do you know the European Capital of Culture, which will tempt you to the
banks of the Danube? A city trip to Linz changes your perspective and refreshes
your spirit. It invites you to make a pleasant stopover by the river.
Immerse yourself in a varied cultural experience, in stories from the past and
the future. The Danube is the second-longest river in Europe: the former route of
emperors and kings, and now the route of cyclists and hikers. A creative location
for culture and cuisine.

By the colourful
Danube
Exploring Linz by boat
Linz is a little like those deep-hearted people in whom all great emotion is closely linked to water: The European Capital of Culture 2009 lies close to the river – and water that’s markedly rich in colour and variety,
at that. So it’s a real pleasure, and well worth the trip, to experience the cultural city on the Danube with the
heartbeat of steel.

The Danube
in Upper Austria
The Danube – one of Europe’s greatest storytellers – flows slowly and leisurely. It tells of times long ago, of
powerful rulers and the local inhabitants’ wealth of legends and myths. The Danube knows so many of the
stories that have shaped the land and its people since they came into being. There is much to discover in the
Upper Austrian section of the river: The Danube traveller enjoys breathtaking views, walks legendary trails,
explores the beautiful riparian landscape on the Danube Cycle Path, experiences the countryside rolling by
from a boat and samples culinary delicacies.
DANUBE CULTURE
DANUBE CYCLE PATH
DONAUSTEIG
The great river connecting Europe was
and is used primarily as a transport
route, not only for the conveyance of
people and goods, but also for the
exchange of culture and language.
By exploring the Roman sites along
the Danube, you get an idea of the
significance the Danube had for the
Romans as the natural border of the
Danube limes.
When the church was reorganised after
the Roman period, numerous monasteries and abbeys were built by the Danube. With the Habsburg Monarchy, the
Danube region enjoyed what was surely
its most glorious time of prosperity.
Empress Sisi, in particular, indulged
her love of travelling by taking frequent
trips along the Danube. In addition,
her bridal journey by ship led her from
Passau to Vienna.
The famous Danube Cycle Path runs
along the great river from Germany
through Austria and on to Hungary.
Cyclists can look forward to a peaceful,
romantic and yet varied cycle path
from Passau to Grein via Linz along the
Upper Austrian section of the Danube.
www.donauradweg.at
Over 450 km and 23 stages, the Donausteig hiking trail runs from Passau
to Grein via Linz. On both sides of the
Danube, the hiking trail awarded the
Austrian Hiking Quality Seal provides
breathtaking views of and perspectives
on the great river and the unique landscape through which it flows.

SCHLÖGENER SCHLINGE
CONTACT
The Schlögener Schlinge is an archetypal meander. Here, the Danube
makes two truly spectacular changes
in direction. It’s worth stopping and
going to the viewpoint on foot. A short
walk takes you through the forest,
after which you’ll be rewarded with an
unobstructed view of this fascinating
spectacle of nature.

The diversity of
a cultural capital
The Linz event calendar is diverse and wide-ranging. Here, the focus is on having fun with
culture and new paths are being pioneered. The projects – no matter whether exhibition,
film, concert, theatre or installation art – are designed to offer a general overview and to be
accessible to everyone. New perspectives are opened up. You can discover culture, architecture and history not only at the numerous concert halls and event venues, open-air stages,
museums and galleries, but also through exploring the city on foot, on Segways, the Linz
City Express or on a harbour tour with a Wurm + Köck excursion boat.

Anton Bruckner,
organ virtuoso
The composer lived in and around Linz and influences the region even today. It’s a
very special experience to walk in the great symphonist’s footsteps and to hear the
works that have left such a deep impression on the world of music. At the organs of
Linz and St. Florian, Anton Bruckner (1824–1896) altered the course of music – irrevocably, irresistibly, and in an unprecedentedly modern way.

Anton-Bruckner-Museum
www.Brucknermuseum.at
At 4.30 am on 4 September 1824,
Anton Bruckner was born in the flat of
the schoolmaster in Ansfelden, the first
child of Theresia and Anton Bruckner.
After extensive renovation work, the
Anton Bruckner Museum in the house
of Bruckner’s birth in Ansfelden was
reopened in 2014. A large project is
bringing music into the house in the
form of audio stations. It is possible
to listen to music in every room – not
only by Bruckner himself, but also by
his contemporaries or the composers
who had a lasting effect on his musical
works. In this way, a short acoustic
history of Upper Austria’s music in the
19th century is also created.

For years, the Kinder- und Jugendtheater,
a children’s and young people’s theatre,
has time and again attracted thousands
of visitors, both young and old. Here

Natural spaces,
green oases
The city on the Danube shows that industry and quality of life are not contradictory elements. Almost half of the municipal area of Linz is green space. Three impressive nature
reserves are not only refuges for endangered species, but also recreation areas. Here, you’ll
find long walks into the countryside, bathing pleasure, and rare plants and animals. In the
Traun-Donau-Auen nature reserve alone, a European Natura 2000 area, there are more than
100 species of birds. It seems as though Linz, the former European Capital of Culture, is a
small Garden of Eden.
Come to Linz and take a deep, relaxing breath – in the midst of green nature, at the Botanical
Gardens, on Linz’s Pöstlingberg, or in other oases at the heart of the city!

EXPERIENCING NATURE FROM
PÖSTLINGBERG TO THE
CITY CENTRE
On Europe’s steepest mountain railway, you can ride directly from Linz’s
Hauptplatz to the zoo and on to the
sparkling Zwergenreich, or realm of
dwarves, hidden away in the grotto
railway. At the highest point of the
city, the pilgrimage basilica and the
lookout platform invite you to pause a
while. From up there, you can enjoy a
fantastic view of Linz!
Some natural treasures of the city that
often go unmentioned are the TraunDanube river meadows and the Botanical Gardens. Both are best explored
with guides, who can often open one’s
eyes to hidden natural treasures.
Tours of the Traun-Donau-Auen nature
reserve and the Botanical Gardens
are offered by nature and landscape
guides and by biologists within the
framework of Naturschauspiel.

a popular meeting place. The broadcasting pavilion designed in the shape
of an apple is an original emblem of
the market. Chefs and top restaurateurs are regularly invited to the new
cooking studio.
• Urfahranermarkt
The Urfahranermarkt takes place twice
a year – in spring, from 30 Apr–08
May 2016, and in autumn, from 01–

that dates back more than 190 years.

A different kind of Christmas.
“Stillness, Steel and Stars”: That’s how to describe how Linz celebrates
Advent in its own very special way. This includes Christmas markets without soul-destroying music, a nativity scene created from steel and journeys of discovery into the winter heavens from the observatory. Visitors
to Ars Electronica Center experience a truly magical moment when they
go on a journey into the universe in the new Deep Space, the unique 8K
projection room.

Changing technology
and architecture
Linz is an economically successful city and, due to its geographical position and infrastructure, an attractive location for companies. Linz is home to over 6,400 business enterprises
and there are more jobs than inhabitants here. Banks, steel and industrial plants and mechanical engineering companies have settled in the city on the Danube. The universities and the
Fachhochschule stimulate development through powerful innovative ideas.
Lovers of architecture appreciate the way in which the past, present and future combine to
create something new in Linz. The sense of ongoing change is palpable here.

Contemporary history
A city’s past
Linz presents itself as a city that is consciously getting to grips with its history. Two turning points of contemporary Austrian
history are inextricably bound up with the city: In 1934, the civil war between the conservative government and parts of the
Social-Democrat party began here. In March 1938, the Anschluss, the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany, was put into
effect in Linz by Adolf Hitler, who went to school here.

SCHLOSS HARTHEIM MEMORIAL
WWW.SCHLOSS-HARTHEIM.AT
MAUTHAUSEN MEMORIAL
www.mauthausen-memorial.at
Between 1938 and 1945, more
than 200,000 people from all over
Europe were imprisoned at the Nazi
concentration camp Mauthausen and
its over 40 subsidiary camps; around
100,000 people were murdered there.
A few years after the end of the War, a
memorial was erected on the site of the
former concentration camp. You can
visit the preserved historical buildings
and constructions, the Wiener Graben
quarry with the stairs of death, more
than 20 national monuments, two new
permanent exhibitions and a memorial
room, the “Room of Names”.
Through the confrontation with the
historical site, the tours of the memorial open up the question of how
it was possible to deport hundreds of
thousands of people, and to torture and
murder them in the middle of society.
The exhibitions “The Mauthausen
Concentration Camp 1938-1945” and

Arrival: Monday to Saturday

Linz is a UNESCO City of Media Arts – one of seven future-oriented cities worldwide!
The city has been a pioneer of media arts for many decades. It all began in 1979 with the Ars Electronica Festival.
Ars Electronica Center – the museum of the future – now captivates thousands of people every year. So Linz is on
the right track to establishing a reputation for itself as an international centre for culture and business.
PROGRAMME
1st day: Ars Electronica Center and voestalpine Stahlwelt
The modern architecture of Ars Electronica Center already reveals where the journey will take you: into the future of both the real and digital world. The highlight of a tour is the visit to Deep Space, with sensational visual
worlds in 8K resolution, projected onto an area of 9x16 m on the walls and the floor. This is followed by a visit to
voestalpine Stahlwelt and a tour of the plant on the voestalpine site. The globally unique exhibition will fascinate
you with its focus on the manufacturing, processing and production of steel. Evening meal in a Linz restaurant.
2nd day: Linz is inspiring
The tour with an Austria Guide through the Old Town sheds a completely different light on Linz: secretive – interesting – innovative.
OUR TIP: Visit the Ars Electronica Festival from 08 to 12 September 2016.
SERVICES INCLUDED – 2-DAY PROGRAMME
1 x overnight stay and breakfast buffet in a good middle-class hotel in Linz
