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 a pleasant stopover by the Danube.
Dive into a varied cultural experience, into stories from the past and the
future. In 2014 and 2015, Linz looks onto the second largest river in Europe:
the route of emperors and kings, cyclists, and hikers. The creative location for
culture and cuisine.

Danube shapes
Linz
Have you ever asked what it means for a city to be by the
longest river in Europe? How a river like that shapes a city?
In 2014, Linz is looking for answers to that. Exhibitions,
installations, and events of all kinds show art, nature, and
industry, and make the developments on the banks of the
Danube comprehensible. Feel the force of the waves on a
ARCHITECTURE, ART, AND
MUSIC BY THE DANUBE
The heart of the inspiring and forwardlooking cultural city of Linz was built
by the Danube. The Brucknerhaus –
Linz’s top location for ambitious music
– was its figurehead, and the Ars Electronica Center and the Lentos Kunstmuseum followed. The transformation
from a city of steel to one of culture
is demonstrated by the large-format
metal sculptures of forum metall in the
Donaupark, where the whole of Linz
crowds to the green spaces and the
water in summer.
boat trip, hike or bike along the banks. Strengthened by regional specialities and a slice of Linzer Torte, we dare you to
try something new, and to discover the culture of the region.
Because there’s lots to explore and enjoy.
You can come here for all number of
reasons: To clear your head, sunbathe,
swim, cuddle, run ... and to dive into
music, literature, and art at the festivals and celebrations by the Danube.
Many of the cultural events in the
Donaupark take place free of charge,
under the motto “Culture for all”, and
are just waiting to be enjoyed.
INTERACTIVE WAVES
The Ars Electronica Center is not just
a homage to the mighty river in an
architectural sense: The installation
“BLUE” delivers real-time visualisations of the Danube’s flow speed and
water level. It also simulates the wave
DANUBE AS FESTIVAL VENUE
formation of the murmuring river.

also pretty impressive. Not just steel
flows there. Thanks to the brand-new
30-metre-long interactive panorama,
you can learn more about the steel
plant on the river. It needs water from
the Danube to transport raw materials
and to produce high-quality car bodies.
THE RIVER OF
DEVELOPMENT
History lovers are in the best hands in
the Schlossmuseum. At the exhibition
on the First World War with the title
“Life in Wartime”, you begin to comprehend that the War brought drastic
changes, even to parts of the country
that were far from the action.
Incidentally, it is possible to turn on
the wheel of time in the exhibition
“Nature in Upper Austria”. You’ll
quickly look a 9-metre primeval shark
in the eye, follow the development of
the river, or how the foothills of the
Alps were formed. And all that while
today’s visitors swim against the current in the Danube Aquarium.
WATER: HEARING, SEEING,
AND TRADING
You seem to hear the flowing of water
in the Musiktheater. You definitely hear
it at the Klangwolken or on a visit to
the Brucknerhaus. The Danube themes
certainly become visible in the Lentos
Kunstmuseum, flooded with light, or
in the Stadtmuseum Nordico. On the
one hand, the history of the river in
the city is recounted, and on the other,
you trace the most precious resource
in the world. Because “Clean Water”
is becoming an increasingly precious
commodity. It’s true, Linz has plenty of
it, but what does the future hold?
Culture, nature, and industry – this triad shapes Linz. Here, all the colours of
the world are reflected on the banks of
the Danube, stories are told for those
of every age, and interrelations become
visible.

At the spots with the loveliest views, a
total of 165 picnic areas beckon you
to linger and also to immerse yourself
in this or that tale of the Danube. For
storyteller Helmut Wittmann has taken
120 old Danube legends and retold
them for the presentation boards at the
picnic areas on the Donausteig.
THE PRIMA DONNA OF CYCLE PATHS
Covering a stretch – of any length you
choose – of the Danube Cycle Path in
Linz is practically a must for touring
cyclists, as well as sporty bikers. The
famous long-distance route begins (or
ends) in Passau and extends beyond
Vienna, and is one of Europe’s most
popular cycle paths. And for good reason – as the track, most of which runs
far from roads, leads through the richly
varied, idyllic landscapes by the great
river. The route is lined with numerous
cosy garden restaurants, sterling inns,
and cyclist-friendly hotels, which
provide culinary and other amenities on
the journey.

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 and
event venues, open-air stages, museums, and galleries, but also through exploring the
city on foot, on Segways, the Linz City Express, on the MS Helene, or on a harbour
tour with a Wurm+Köck excursion ship.

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.

BRUCKNER ORCHESTER LINZ
WWW.BRUCKNERORCHESTER.AT
The Bruckner Orchester Linz can look
back on a history spanning over 200
years. In recent decades it has become
one of Central Europe’s leading ensembles, not least thanks to its successful
recordings of Philip Glass and Anton
Bruckner.

BRUCKNERHAUS

Long before the Linz concert hall, long

THE MUSIKTHEATER
AM VOLKSGARTEN
WWW.LANDESTHEATER-LINZ.AT
In 2013, the Landestheater opened a
new performance venue. With carefully planned concepts and the most
sophisticated technical equipment, the
new Musiktheater am Volksgarten will
sweep aside the barriers of what was
formerly possible, raising the curtain
on productions which promise to be a
fount of inspiration. Commercial Director Uwe Schmitz-Gielsdorf, Artistic
Director Rainer Mennicken, and Head
of Opera Dennis Russell Davies are
committed to offering a broad range of
artistic endeavour at affordable prices.
With its latest innovations, the Landestheater fully lives up to Linz’s motto of
“Culture for all”. The four departments
for opera, drama, ballet, and children’s/
youth theatre are now joined by a fifth
– the musical.
At last, it’s possible to perform the entire operatic repertoire, great musicals,
and operettas with a really full orchest-

The Palais Kaufmännischer Verein, or
Palace of the Commercial Association, is also called the “little imperial
palace” and is situated in the centre
of Linz. The congress and event centre
is widely known for its neo-baroque
atmosphere. Thanks to the construction
of the annex, the traditional building
can reveal a new side: modern, multifunctional, expressing the spirit of the
times in both architecture and décor. A
total of ten rooms, the lounge, and the
adjoining park make every event held
here truly memorable. The building is
unusual not only for its décor and atmosphere, but also the infrastructure:
Easy to reach by public transport with
direct access through its own underground car park, thus guaranteeing that
there’s never far to walk.

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 Cultural Capital of Europe, 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 in the heart of the city!

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.

“The steel plant on the river”
voestalpine and the Danube are closely
connected – water is not just one of
the most important manufacturing
and auxiliary resources in the whole
production process, but also a valuable
transport route. Approx. 40% of the
transport of raw materials is by ship on
the Danube. The sustainable use of the
river is an important goal for voestalpine – in this way, necessary water for
production is recycled and directed
back into the outlet channel for the
Danube.

WISSENSTURM / VOLKSHOCHSCHULE / CITY LIBRARY
WWW.WISSENSTURM.AT
With the opening of its Tower of Knowledge in the district around Linz Central
Station, the city of Linz is opening up
new dimensions and opportunities in
the area of education. A contemporary
home for three educational institutions –
adult education centre Volkshochschule
Linz, the city library, and media centre
Medienwerkstatt – has been found in this
63-metre-high elliptical tower structure.

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 portions 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.
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 satellite camps; about half of
those 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 Steinbruch Wiener Graben with the “Todesstiege” –
stairs of death, more than 20 national
monuments and, since 6 May, two new
permanent exhibitions and a new 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 concentration
camp Mauthausen 1938–1945” and
“The crime scene of Mauthausen – a
search for traces” show more than
60
There are places of remembrance and experience in and
around Linz. Various institutions, such as Linz City Archive
and Volkshochschule Linz, are intensively concerned with
researching and reappraising the history of Linz. They
offer numerous publications, events, and exhibitions for
everyone who is interested.
100 original objects, collected from all
over the world. Using the histories of
concrete objects, the development of
the concentration camp Mauthausen
and the history of the inmates are told.
In the new “Room of Names”, the names of almost 81,000 dead are listed,
which were traced within the framework of a six-year research project.
Admission €2.00
Reduced rate €1.00
(Children, students under 27,

Family ticket €4.80

SCHLOSS HARTHEIM MEMORIAL
WWW.SCHLOSS-HARTHEIM.AT
On 5 May 1945, soldiers of the US Army
liberated over 20,000 concentration
camp prisoners in Gusen. At that time,
there were more people in this concentration camp than in the main camp at
Mauthausen. Sounds, and the voices of
contemporary witnesses accompany the
visitors on their way through the grounds,
whose traces have now vanished beneath
a residential and recreational landscape.
Schloss Hartheim is the location of the Specially trained Austria Guides offer
memorial for the victims of the Nazi
contemporary historical guided tours of
