International<br />

<strong>Malta</strong> Camp<br />

Salzburg <strong>2017</strong><br />

Austria


Dear participants of the<br />

International <strong>Malta</strong> Camp <strong>2017</strong>,<br />

approximately 2 ½ years and hundreds of hours<br />

of preparing for this year’s camp are behind us.<br />

It has been a busy and exiting time, full of great<br />

ideas, some of which were very unexpected. The<br />

deep-felt inspiration of the <strong>Malta</strong> Camp spirit has<br />

helped us to overcome the various challenges,<br />

thus providing us with much needed energy. Now,<br />

it is our honour and pleasure to welcome you to<br />

Salzburg, in the schools of the Josef-Preis-Allee.<br />

WHY IN SALZBURG?<br />

We have chosen Salzburg because we wanted<br />

you to experience the very unique ambiance of<br />

the city of Salzburg. Salzburg is much more than<br />

simply the city of the “Sound of Music” and of<br />

Mozart.<br />

Firstly, Salzburg is characterized by its long<br />

history. It was the home of famous archbishops<br />

who became rich because of the salt found<br />

around Salzburg. The German word for salt is<br />

Salz; hence, the name Salzburg. Additionally,<br />

Salzburg has a unique geographic position at<br />

the edge of the Alps, with two mountains, the<br />

Gaisberg and the Untersberg, closely neighbouring<br />

the city. We would be amiss not mention<br />

the annual, world-famous Salzburg Festival. The<br />

festival is a traditional classic music festival,<br />

which attracts many famous singers, musicians,<br />

and high society from not only Austria, but from<br />

many other countries as well.<br />

YOU RAISE ME UP!<br />

We have named the week’s motto “You raise me<br />

up!” In our heart-felt opinion, this motto expresses<br />

everything encompassing the Camp. This event<br />

is not only creating an atmosphere of joy and<br />

Stephan<br />

delight, it often is the beginning of great<br />

lifetime friendships, and sometimes even more!<br />

This year’s motto also is an expression of inspiration<br />

on how to overcome cultural differences and<br />

barriers, as well as how to embrace a much<br />

needed peaceful and joyful world. We also want<br />

the camp to have a high energy atmosphere full<br />

of positive emotions for both the guests and<br />

helpers, all of whom, after the camp return<br />

home, until they meet again, one year later... at a<br />

different place, in a different country, however<br />

under the same spirit.<br />

Our team of organizers have prepared a week<br />

full of many exciting activities, workshops and<br />

excursions. We hope you will enjoy your time<br />

here, engaging in the happiness of new and<br />

existing companionships with the many camp<br />

Introduction to the Motto<br />

of this Year‘s <strong>Malta</strong> Camp<br />

We come to this Camp as a large group of<br />

friends and yet each one of us brings our<br />

individual gifts and unique contribution to offer<br />

for this week. Each of us also may carry our own<br />

personal worries and difficulties. Sometimes<br />

these difficulties can hold us back from being the<br />

person we would truly like to be and leave us at<br />

times feeling low. The words of the Camp Song,<br />

YOU RAISE ME UP speak of what it is like to<br />

feel being down, weary, and heart burdened. But<br />

the Song also reminds us of the importance and<br />

beauty of friendship. It is true that troubles and<br />

worry can disturb our happiness and serenity and<br />

make us feel afraid. Sometimes we can be so<br />

close to these troubles that only a sincere friend<br />

will help us see life in true perspective beyond<br />

these fears and so bring us hope. This Camp<br />

Song uses great images, even biblical images, of<br />

the feelings that hope and serenity can bring us:<br />

Standing on a mountain top, walking on stormy<br />

seas, being carried on another’s shoulders. For<br />

me, such a moment of hope in the Gospels is<br />

when the Apostles are caught out on a stormy<br />

sea, Jesus calms the storm, and calls St Peter<br />

to walk to him on the water, Peter is only able to<br />

do this as long as he keeps looking at the face of<br />

Jesus, it is when he feels afraid and looks down<br />

at the water he then begins to sink. Yet, it is at<br />

this moment Jesus lifts him up and tells Peter<br />

not to be afraid for He is with him. In this week<br />

may we not be afraid to acknowledge that for<br />

all of us there can be moments when we feel<br />

low and when we depend on others to raise us<br />

up, it is equally true that each of us, even by a<br />

kind word, have the capacity to offer hope and<br />

reassurance to another who is feeling low or<br />

worried.<br />

Above all let us remember that throughout this<br />

week, and throughout our lives, as with St Peter,<br />

Jesus is always there for us with His hand outstretched<br />

ready to raise us up.<br />

Father Hugh Kennedy, Principal Co-ordinating<br />

Chaplain for the International Summer Camps<br />

You Raise Me Up<br />

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary<br />

When troubles come and my heart burdened be<br />

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence<br />

Until you come and sit awhile with me.<br />

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains<br />

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas<br />

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders<br />

You raise me up: To more than I can be.<br />

There is no life - no life without its hunger<br />

Each restless heart beats so imperfectly<br />

But when you come and I am filled with wonder<br />

Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.<br />

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains<br />

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas<br />

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders<br />

You raise me up: To more than I can be.<br />

You raise me up: to more than I can be ...<br />

So no one told you life was going to be this way.<br />

Your job‘s a joke, you‘re broke, you‘re love life‘s DOA.<br />

It‘s like you‘re always stuck in second gear,<br />

Well, it hasn‘t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.<br />

But, I‘ll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.<br />

I‘ll be there for you, like I‘ve been there before.<br />

I‘ll be there for you, cause you‘re there for me too.<br />

You‘re still in bed at ten, the work began at eight.<br />

You‘ve burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great.<br />

Your mother warned you there‘d be days like these,<br />

But she didn‘t tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees.<br />

That, I‘ll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.<br />

I‘ll be there for you, like I‘ve been there before.<br />

I‘ll be there for you, cause you‘re there for me too.<br />

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me.<br />

Seems like you‘re the only one who knows what it‘s like to be me.<br />

Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with,<br />

Someone I‘ll always laugh with, even at my worst, I‘m best with you.<br />

It‘s like you‘re always stuck in second gear,<br />

Well, it hasn‘t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.<br />

But, I‘ll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.<br />

I‘ll be there for you, like I‘ve been there before.<br />

I‘ll be there for you, cause you‘re there for me too.<br />

Salzburg History<br />

Salzburg‘s long history can be traced<br />

back to the stone age - but only in the<br />

Middle Ages and more so in Baroque<br />

times it got really exciting! Here you<br />

will find a timeline with the most outstanding<br />

key events.<br />

The first signs of settlements within today‘s<br />

city limits date as far back as to Neolithic<br />

times. However, the first actual city that<br />

merged smaller Celtic communities was<br />

founded by Romans in 15 BC and named<br />

Iuvavum. After the Roman Empire came to<br />

decay, Iuvavum was abandoned and fell into<br />

ruins.<br />

A monastery is documented from the 5th<br />

century, but it wasn‘t until St. Rupert received<br />

the ruins as a present in 699 AD from the<br />

Duke of Bavaria that the city expanded.<br />

Rupert became the city‘s bishop, launched<br />

St. Peter‘s Abbey and is until today the<br />

patron saint of Salzburg.<br />

The name Salzburg is documented since<br />

755 AD. In 1077, work on the Fortress started.<br />

In 1166 a dispute between the archbishop<br />

of Salzburg and the German Emperor Barbarossa<br />

peaked in a fire that destroyed most<br />

of the city.<br />

During the 14th century about one third of<br />

the population dies through the plague. At<br />

the same time, the province of Salzburg<br />

finally becomes independent from Bavaria<br />

and is an entity within the Holy Roman Empire<br />

of the German Nation.<br />

In 1492 the Stiegl brewery is founded, still<br />

one of Salzburg‘s top-attractions. The same<br />

year, Jews are expelled from the city. Only<br />

a few years later, social unrest and the<br />

preludes of the reformation spark riots<br />

among peasants. Salzburg is occupied<br />

during the Bauerkriege and the Fortress<br />

besieged for three months in 1525, before<br />

the rioters are finally pacified.<br />

During the 17th and 18th century Salzburg<br />

goes through its prime: the Prince Archbishops<br />

Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau, Markus<br />

8


Sittikus and Paris Lodron use the wealth<br />

from the salt trade to transform Salzburg into<br />

one of the world‘s most outstanding baroque<br />

cities with magnificent palaces, churches<br />

and gardens.<br />

In 1756 Salzburg‘s most famous son is born:<br />

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.<br />

After 1803 the Prince Archbishops lose their<br />

secular power in the course of the Napoleonic<br />

wars, and Salzburg becomes part of<br />

different provinces before it is finally finding<br />

its way into the Austrian Empire. There it<br />

remains rather quietly, only slowly recovering<br />

during the 19th century from the French and<br />

Bavarian lootings.<br />

In 1816, Salzburg becomes part of Austria, but<br />

does not recover economically nor culturally<br />

until towards the end of the 19th century.<br />

Slowly the city gets rid of old fortifications<br />

and some new districts arise around the<br />

station, built in neo-Classicist style so typical<br />

for the Austro-Hungarian Empire.<br />

After World War I the Austrian Empire splits.<br />

The Salzburg Festival is founded in 1920.<br />

Salzburg becomes a fashionable place to be<br />

in the summer and attracts wealthy people<br />

and intellectuals from Vienna and Germany,<br />

mostly through the young Salzburg Festival.<br />

However, the First Republic is politically<br />

and economically instable and in 1938 all<br />

of Austria becomes part of Nazi Germany. In<br />

the same year, book burnings are held on<br />

public square Residenzplatz, persecutions<br />

of Jews and other Nazi-victims start.<br />

In November, a synagogue is destroyed.<br />

During World War II, a total of 15 air strikes<br />

destroy 46 percent of the city‘s buildings<br />

especially around the station. Up to the<br />

present day, duds and bombshells are<br />

occasionally found in Salzburg. Watch out<br />

for some of Salzburg‘s not-so-nice neighbourhoods<br />

around the station area: they are<br />

some of the scars of World War II.<br />

After the war Salzburg is occupied by US<br />

troops. Great endeavours of the population as<br />

well as support through the Marshall European<br />

Recovery Program lead to a rapid recovery<br />

of the city after the war. In the<br />

1960ies, the University of Salzburg is reestablished<br />

as a full academic institution.<br />

The city is slowly, but steadily growing and<br />

benefits from its close ties to Germany and<br />

- since the end of communism in Austria‘s<br />

eastern neighbours after 1989 - from its<br />

historic ties with Eastern Europe. In 1995<br />

Austria joins the European Union.<br />

In 1997 the city of Salzburg becomes a<br />

UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site to honour<br />

its unique baroque structure.<br />

Today, Salzburg is the pearl of Austria: rich in<br />

culture, cuisine and natural beauty, but also<br />

prosperous and diverse, it looks into a bright<br />

future.<br />

Building work on Hohensalzburg Fortress<br />

was initiated by Archbishop Gebhard in<br />

1077. It is the largest completely preserved<br />

castle in central Europe.<br />

The fortress is over 900 years old and was<br />

originally built to guarantee the safety of the<br />

archbishops; while also serving as barracks and<br />

a prison. Today’s exterior was designed by Archbishop<br />

Leonhard von Keutschach. Of particular<br />

interest are the fortress museum and the medieval<br />

stately chambers. The interior of the fortress was<br />

furnished to impress with magnificent gothic<br />

carvings, ornamental paintings and frescos, and<br />

decorative gold leaf – all of which attests to the<br />

wealth of the prince bishops.<br />

Nowadays there are museums and a Magical<br />

Theater in the Fortress, where you can make an<br />

interactive journey through the history of Fortress<br />

Hohensalzburg.<br />

Mirabell Garden<br />

Built by princearchbishop<br />

Wolf<br />

Dietrich von Raitenau<br />

in 1606 as a token of<br />

his love for Salome Alt.<br />

In 1854, Emperor Franz<br />

Joseph made Mirabell Gardens<br />

open to the public for the very first<br />

time. To this very day, it remains a gem<br />

of garden architecture and a popular photo motif.<br />

The Schloss Mirabell was built by the famous<br />

baroque architect Lukas von Hildebrandt between<br />

1721 and 1727, turning it into a single harmonious<br />

ensemble. The stairway with its graceful<br />

angel figures, is one of the greatest treasures of<br />

the building.<br />

Today’s Schloss Mirabell houses are the official<br />

offices of the mayor of Salzburg, as well as those<br />

of the city government.<br />

Ein Brunnen singt.<br />

Die Wolken stehn.<br />

Im klaren Blau,<br />

die weißen, zarten.<br />

Bedächtig stille Menschen gehn<br />

Am Abend durch den alten Garten.<br />

Georg Trakl, 1912<br />

The Mirabell Garden<br />

True to the form of an<br />

early-baroque garden, we<br />

find rich floral ornamentation,<br />

precisely trimmed trees,<br />

decorative urns and balustrades.<br />

Subsequent redesigns contributed<br />

the variety provided by late-baroque forms<br />

to the original coherence of the grounds.<br />

Additions included separate new garden areas<br />

with latticed walkways flanked by linden and beech<br />

trees, a hedge theater and the Bastion Garden.<br />

Fountains and vibrant stone figures further<br />

enrich the beauty of the garden.<br />

Wolfgang Amadeus<br />

Mozart<br />

Salzburg’s ‘Wunderkind’ –<br />

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – was born in<br />

what is known as the ‘Hagenauer House’<br />

at no. 9 Getreidegasse on the 27th January<br />

1756.<br />

He lived there with his sister ‘Nannerl’ and his<br />

parents until 1773. Mozart’s ‘Geburtshaus’ guides<br />

guests through the original rooms in which<br />

the Mozart family lived and presents a range<br />

of artefacts, including historical instruments,<br />

documents, keepsakes and mementos, and<br />

the majority of the portraits painted during his<br />

lifetime. The musical instruments exhibited in<br />

Mozart’s Geburtshaus were passed on from<br />

Mozart’s widow, Constanze<br />

Nissen, through her sons<br />

Carl Thomas and Franz<br />

Xaver Wolfgang, and<br />

are now owned<br />

by the International Mozarteum Foundation.In<br />

1773, after the house in which Wolfgang Amadeus<br />

Mozart had been born became too small, the<br />

entire Mozart family moved across the river to the<br />

‘Tanzmeisterhaus’. The new, more spacious home<br />

provided enough room to entertain friends and<br />

musicians. After the Mozarts’ third trip to Vienna<br />

they arranged to rent rooms in the Tanzmeisterhaus.<br />

On the 16th October 1944 two thirds of the<br />

house were destroyed in an air raid. The owner at<br />

the time sold the bombed section of the building<br />

to Assicurazioni Generali, who then erected an<br />

office building subsequently purchased by the<br />

International Mozarteum Foundation in 1989.<br />

The Cathedral


The Salzburg Cathedral is an imposing<br />

example of monumental architecture<br />

from the days of the Early Baroque.<br />

Visitors are greeted by the magnificent main<br />

façade made of Untersberg marble. Four powerful<br />

statues look down upon you: the apostles Peter<br />

and Paul bearing a key and sword, as well as<br />

Salzburg’s two patron saints, Rupert and Virgil,<br />

holding a salt barrel and model of the church<br />

respectively. The Cathedral Square, with a statue<br />

to the Virgin Mary, forms the atrium – serving<br />

annually as the imposing backdrop for performances<br />

of “Jedermann” during the Salzburg<br />

Festival, and for the beloved Christmas market.<br />

The history of Salzburg Cathedral is closely<br />

intertwined with that of its rulers, the princearchbishops.<br />

The cathedral was destroyed by a<br />

number of fires, then rebuilt and expanded. The<br />

years displayed on the wrought-iron gates – 774,<br />

1628 and 1959 – recall the three occasions the<br />

cathedral was consecrated. In 1944, an aircraft<br />

bomb damaged the dome as well as parts of the<br />

sanctuary. In 1959, the Salzburg Cathedral was<br />

finally re-consecrated, now as magnificent as<br />

ever.<br />

The medieval bishops‘ residence was given<br />

today‘s magnificent early Baroque appearance<br />

at the end of the 16th century.<br />

Open to the public: the State Rooms of the Residenz<br />

- formerly used by Salzburg‘s prince archbishops<br />

as reception rooms and living quarters<br />

- as well as the Residenz Gallery with its fabulous<br />

collection of paintings by European artists of the<br />

16th - 19th centuries. The building referred to<br />

as the New Building of the Residenz is located<br />

across from the Residenz.<br />

Salzburg‘s Residenz, situated in the heart of<br />

the city, is an extensive complex of buildings,<br />

containing some 180 rooms and three spacious<br />

courtyards. The prince bishops often invited<br />

guests to a concert performance in the Rittersaal.<br />

Young Mozart also played regularly at the Salzburg<br />

Residenz. At that time his father was in the<br />

archbishop‘s service as the director of the cathedral<br />

orchestra. Today concerts (Salzburg Palace Concerts)<br />

are still performed in this hall because of<br />

its excellent acoustics.<br />

Today the Residenz is the venue for official receptions,<br />

meetings and international conventions.<br />

The Residenz is entered from Residenz Square<br />

through a large marble arch bearing the coat of<br />

arms of the prince archbishops Wolf Dietrich,<br />

Paris Lodron and Franz Anton Harrach. The wide<br />

main staircase leads up to the Carabinierisaal.<br />

The construction of the New Residence in Salzburg<br />

took over one hundred years. Four archbishops<br />

were responsible for its appearance,<br />

20


The Residency<br />

although the building was essentially characterized<br />

by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau.<br />

The archbishop had the former buildings torn<br />

down in 1588 to raise a new building for himself<br />

and his guests. But the archbishop decided to<br />

keep the Old Residence as his home in 1605.<br />

The New Residence today<br />

Salzburg Museum has been housed in the New<br />

Residence on Mozart Square since June 1, 2007.<br />

Precious objects of art, esthetic presentations,<br />

interesting displays and multimedia installations<br />

in various exhibition rooms blend into a<br />

harmonious whole.<br />

Salzburg‘s carillon<br />

The building of the New Residence is crowned<br />

by the famous Salzburg Glockenspiel. Salzburg‘s<br />

carillon is located in the bell tower on the west<br />

side of the New Residence.<br />

The 35 bells were cast in Antwerp between 1688<br />

and 1689.<br />

The carillon has operated in Salzburg since<br />

1704. It currently plays approximately 40 melodies,<br />

of which 16 are attributed to Johann Michael<br />

Haydn. The pieces by Mozart and his father are<br />

adaptations from the 19th century.<br />

Hellbrunn


Between 1612 and 1615, Salzburg’s princearchbishop<br />

Markus Sittikus commissioned<br />

the building of a summer residence at<br />

the foot of Hellbrunn mountain, a location<br />

already abundant in naturally flowing waters.<br />

Based on Italian models and in a relatively short<br />

period of time, an architectural jewel had been<br />

created, still reckoned amongst the most magnificent<br />

Renaissance buildings north of the Alps.<br />

The pleasure palace in Hellbrunn was designed<br />

to serve one specific purpose: provide amusement,<br />

distraction and entertainment. Very much in<br />

keeping with its motto: Joie de Vivre since 1615!<br />

The trick fountains allow you to experience, in<br />

virtually unchanged form, what brought so much<br />

pleasure for the archbishops almost 400 years<br />

ago: mysterious, mystical grottos, water-driven<br />

mechanical figures and mischievous jets of<br />

water spurting out from every nook and cranny.<br />

The trick fountains are so much fun, precisely<br />

because you never know what you will encounter<br />

next, nor what direction they will spray you from.<br />

Markus Sittikus had the trick fountains built to<br />

entertain, astonish, and give his guests a bit of<br />

a run-around.<br />

Leopoldskron


In 1736, Salzburg prince-archbishop Leopold<br />

Anton Freiherr von Firmian built Schloss Leopoldskron<br />

as the family residence. Standing right<br />

next to the beautiful Leopoldskron Pond, it captivates<br />

with panoramic views of the surrounding<br />

mountain world. Because of his special ties to<br />

the palace, the prince-archbishop had his heart<br />

interred in the chapel of Schloss Leopoldskron.<br />

Since 1965, Schloss Leopoldskron has been<br />

well known far beyond Austria’s borders as an<br />

original shooting location for the world-famous<br />

movie “The Sound of Music”.<br />

Today’s Schloss Leopoldskron offers the opportunity<br />

to reside during your Salzburg visit in a<br />

truly idyllic setting on the outskirts of the city.<br />

Secluded behind the historic walls of this former<br />

princely residence are luxurious suites and<br />

rooms with an exclusive charm all their own.<br />

State-of-the-art technology, functional room<br />

amenities and personal service make Schloss<br />

Leopoldskron a popular year-round seminar- and<br />

event location for very special private aswell as<br />

professional occasions.<br />

The life of the von Trapp Family is inseparably<br />

linked to the city of Salzburg. Every year<br />

nearly 300,000 people visit the Trapp Family<br />

homes and film locations. The 1965 film about<br />

the moving life of the novice, Maria von Trapp<br />

and her singing family with Julie Andrews in the<br />

leading role, became an international box office<br />

success.<br />

Although the movie was dubbed and ran in<br />

German (and presumably Austrian) movie theatres<br />

as "Meine Lieder, meine Träume" for a while,<br />

you may still find the Salzburg locals a little bit<br />

puzzled for the simple reason that most of them<br />

have not seen the movie. However, if you want to<br />

test the movie‘s worldwide popularity, just start<br />

humming a few of the famous tunes and songs<br />

like „Edelweiss“ wherever on the planet you just<br />

happen to be - and within a moment you will be<br />

joined by complete strangers in a merry „The<br />

Sound of Music Chorus“.<br />

The Sound of Music tour includes the following<br />

original film locations: Mirabell Gardens and<br />

Pegasus Fountain (dancing scene with Maria and<br />

the children), Leopoldskron Palace (where the<br />

family lived in the film), Hellbrunn Palace (song<br />

scenes), Nonnberg Convent, (where Maria lived<br />

as a young novice), St. Gilgen / Wolfgangsee<br />

(opening scene in the movie), Mondsee Church<br />

(wedding scene).<br />

Rupert, a Franconian<br />

missionary, came to<br />

Salzburg, the former<br />

Roman Iuvavum, around<br />

700 AD and founded St.<br />

Peter‘s Church and a<br />

monastery, still extant as the<br />

oldest community of monks on<br />

German soil.<br />

St. Peter‘s Abbey had the building on the<br />

southern side of Cathedral Square constructed<br />

under Abbot Amand Pachler from 1657-1661 at<br />

the request of Archbishop Guidobald Graf Thun.<br />

The title to the new building was divided between<br />

them: the cellar and main floor belonged to the<br />

archbishop, the other rooms to the abbey. The<br />

main floor became the archbishops picture gallery.<br />

The design of the „Lange Galerie bey Hof“ was<br />

developed in Italy during the 16th century: a long<br />

corridor with windows on one side and a continuous<br />

wall for paintings on the opposite side.<br />

Ringsum ist Felseneinsamkeit.<br />

Des Todes bleiche Blumen schauern<br />

Auf Gräbern, die im Dunkel trauern -<br />

Doch diese Trauer hat kein Leid.<br />

Georg Trakl, 1909<br />

All of the windows face<br />

north, allowing the<br />

paintings to be seen in<br />

an even, but not direct<br />

light. The Long Gallery is<br />

one of the earliest buildings<br />

of its kind north of the Alps.<br />

The archbishops‘ collection of<br />

paintings included works by Peter Paul Rubens,<br />

Johann Heinrich Schönfeld and other notable<br />

artists. It was closed down at the end of the<br />

archbishops‘ reign in 1803 and most of the paintings<br />

were moved to Vienna. The room itself was<br />

conveyed to St. Peter‘s Abbey in 1819.<br />

St. Peter‘s Monastery had the Long Gallery<br />

renovated extensively from 2001 to 2009. The<br />

gallery can now be accessed by the public<br />

through the Cathedral Museum. Seventeen of<br />

the Monastery‘s large-size, religious paintings<br />

are on display.<br />

St. Peter‘s Monastery<br />

Notable personalities were among the monks<br />

who lived in St. Peter‘s Monastery. A vast<br />

number of achievements bear witness to the<br />

scholarliness and industriousness of the<br />

medieval monks. The construction of the Alm<br />

Channel, cutting a tunnel through the Mönchsberg,<br />

was one of the masterstrokes of their time.<br />

Many monks taught at the university founded in<br />

1622 and music and theater were continuously<br />

cultivated in St. Peter‘s.<br />

13 years old Mozart composed the Dominicus<br />

Mass in 1769 for the later Abbot Hagen Auer and<br />

conducted his famous Mass in C minor in the<br />

church in 1783. Johann Michael Haydn wrote the<br />

Rupert Mass for St. Peter‘s in 1782.<br />

St. Peter‘s Cemetery with its unique ambiance<br />

is one of the oldest and most beautiful cemeteries<br />

in the world. It is the final resting place for a<br />

number of famous personalities, artists, scholars<br />

and businessmen: Sanction Solaria (architect<br />

and builder of Salzburg Cathedral), Nannerl<br />

Mozart (Mozart‘s sister), Lorenz Hagen Auer (the<br />

Mozart family‘s landlord and friend), Michael<br />

Haydn (composer and Joseph Haydn‘s younger<br />

brother), Paul Hofhaimer (organist and composer),<br />

Sigmund Haffner (alderman and mayor, friend of<br />

the Mozart family, Haffner Serenade and Haffner<br />

Symphony by Mozart).<br />

The Catacombs, hewn out of the Mönchsberg<br />

rock, are one of the special attractions in St.<br />

Peter‘s Cemetery and open all year round. They<br />

are said to be of early Christian origin.<br />

Müllner Bräu<br />

The monastery of Mülln has been brewing<br />

beer since 1621 following a closely guarded<br />

secret recipe and skillfully applying the art of old<br />

brewing techniques.<br />

The “Braustübl” is a popular meeting place<br />

rich in character and tradition with a lovely<br />

garden. It is Austria’s largest beer inn where<br />

beer is sold in stone-made pitchers draught<br />

directly from wooden barrels. A variety of<br />

delicious local snacks can be chosen from an<br />

arcade of small shops and market stalls, called the<br />

“Schmankerlgang”.<br />

The Bräustübl is a well-respected traditional<br />

meeting place – a piece of living history in the<br />

world heritage centre of Salzburg.<br />
