Bruckner House

The idea of a concert hall for Linz was already on the table during the interwar period, and, naturally, Upper Austria’s musical genius was under discussion as eponym right from the start. After World War II, a group of prominent Linzers (Fritz Rauch, Gerhard Schröder, Horst Stadlmayr and Hermann Kronsteiner) revived efforts to establish a Brucknerhaus, but it took until 1974 for them to come to fruition. In this entire realization process, the only thing that had been finalized at the very outset was the name Bruckner.
