Heritage Hotels of Europe Culture Award Geht 2019 Erneut an Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg! Pressemitteilung 10. Dezember 2019: Heritage Hotels of Europe Culture Award geht 2019 erneut an Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg! SALZBURG, ÖSTERREICH: Einmal im Jahr verleiht die Dachorganisation historischer Hotels in Europa, Heritage Hotels of Europe, ihre renommierten Auszeichnungen in sieben Kategorien. Dieses Jahr fand die glanzvolle Zeremonie in der ungarischen Botschaft in Wien statt. Die Jury, die sich aus internationalen Hotelgästen sowie Vertretern der Landesorganisationen historischer Hotels in Europa zusammensetzte, kürte Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron dieses Jahr zum zweiten Mal in Folge in der Kategorie „Heritage & Culture“. Besonders hervorgehoben wurde die Bedeutung von Salzburg Global Seminar, dem Eigentümer von Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron: neben eigenen Seminaren mit Kulturschwerpunkt, wie dem jährlichen Young Cultural Innovators Forum, fördert und unterstützt Salzburg Global Seminar auch externe kulturelle Aktivitäten, die im Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron abgehalten werden, so z.B die Musikreihe Stromlos, die seit 2016 jährlich im Marmorsaal des Schlosses stattfindet. Außerdem bestehen Kooperationen mit der Kunsthilfe Salzburg, dem Salzburger Landestheater, sowie den Salzburger Festspielen. Bereits seit 2014 lädt das Salzburger Landestheater jeden Sommer zu „Shakespeare im Park“ in den Schlosspark von Leopoldskron, so auch 2019 mit den „Love Songs“ und ab 2020 mit „Elves and Errors“. Zum einhundertjährigen Jubiläum der Salzburger Festspiele wird als Teil des Jubiläumsfestes 2020 Stefan Zweigs „Die Welt von gestern“ von 6. bis 9. August im Schloss aufgeführt. Besonders gefreut hat sich das Team von Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron, dass auch Gäste in die Wahl eingebunden waren. „Das bedeutet sehr viel für uns“, meint Daniel Szelényi, Vice President, Hospitality. „Dieser Preis zeichnet neben unserem kulturellen Engagement vor allem unsere Mitarbeiter aus, die sich tagtäglich mit viel Leidenschaft um das Wohl unserer Gäste kümmern. Unsere Gäste spüren und schätzen das und wir bedanken uns herzlich für die erneute Auszeichnung.“ Zur Geschichte: Im Jahr 1736 lies Salzburgs Fürsterzbischof Leopold Anton Freiherr von Firmian das Schloss Leopoldskron erbauen. Aus dieser Zeit stammt die original erhaltene Schlosskapelle, die noch heute ohne Strom, nur durch Sonnen- und Kerzenlicht für eine einzigartige Stimmung sorgt. 1918 kaufte Max Reinhardt, der Mitbegründer der Salzburger Festspiele das Schloss und erfüllte es durch den Umbau des Venezianischen Zimmers, des Chinesischen Zimmers, der Bibliothek und der Großen Halle mit neuem Leben. 1947 begann die Mission von Salzburg Global Seminar, dem heutigen Eigentümer, internationale Führungskräfte hier zu sammeln, um gemeinsam Lösungen für globale Probleme zu finden.

  • History of Schloss Leopoldskron
    SALZBURG SEMINAR SCHLOSS LEOPOLDSKRON HISTORY OF SCHLOSS LEOPOLDSKRON Schloss Leopoldskron was commissioned as a family estate in 1736 by the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg, Leopold Anton Freiherr von Firmian (1679-1744), a member of a Tyrolean noble family whose lineage can be traced back to 1185. The Scottish Benedictine monk Bernhard Stuart is regarded as Leopoldskrons master builder. The stucco work on the ceilings done by Johann Kleber are described as “the best example of rococo stucco the land can offer”. Leopold Firmian was a great lover of science and the arts, but is most remembered for his role in the expulsion of more than 22,000 Protestants from the Archbishopric of Salzburg. Leopold’s harsh actions were noticed all over Europe and both Salzburg’s economy and the reputation of the Firmian family suffered severely as a result. The commission of Schloss Leopoldskron was, in part, an attempt by the Archbishop to rescue the social standing of his family. Schloss Leopoldskron and Lake, A special law made the property an inalienable Watercolor, pen and ink drawing, possession of the family. In May 1744, Leopold Late 19th Century. deeded the completed Schloss over to his nephew, Count Laktanz Firmian. After his death later in the same year, the Archbishop’s body was buried in Salzburg’s cathedral, but his heart remains below the Chapel of the Schloss, which, as is inscribed on the chapel floor, he “loved so dearly.” Count Laktanz, a collector of art and an artist himself, enriched Schloss Leopoldskron with the largest collection of paintings Salzburg had ever known, including works of artists such as Rembrandt, Rubens, Dürer, and Titian.

Hungarians at home and abroad, regardless of social rank and education, were universal in their condemnation of the provisions of the treaty, thus revision of the treaty became a focal point, a centerpiece of public desire, although the official policy of the Hungarian government did not publicly support revision as part of it’s public program.

  • Schloss Leopoldskron and the Meierhof Now Reopened As a Hotel
    Birthplace of the Salzburg Festival and an exclusive address for travelers to Salzburg For everyone and “Everyman”: Schloss Leopoldskron and the Meierhof now reopened as a hotel This majestic rococo palace dating back to the 18th century is generally held to be the birthplace of the Salzburg Festival, though it gained true world fame as a shooting location for “The Sound of Music”, and has always been a real magnet for artists and thinkers from around the globe. Under its new name “Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron”, effective immediately this estate now offers 55 stylishly renovated rooms in the “Meierhof” as well as 12 spacious, historical suites in the palace itself. After a slow process spanning many years aimed at providing access to this estate for guests, the palace and its Meierhof have now opened their doors as a hotel. General Manager Daniel Szelényi, who comes from Munich and joined Schloss Leopoldskron last summer, has made it possible for Salzburg visitors to experience this unique historical site from this point on: “The entire palace is once again inhabitable, as a guest you can enjoy it as if it were your own home. You can even make yourself comfortable in the former office of Max Reinhardt”, raves Szelényi. “The quiet location on the banks of the Leopoldskroner Weiher, with view of the mighty Untersberg Massif and Hohensalzburg Fortress, makes this inspiring place almost magical.” This process goes hand in hand with a restructuring of the entire organization: Service has been refined and a stronger focus has been placed on the guest experience as a whole.

  • The Example of Michael Frayn's Afterlife
    Beatrix Hesse (Bamberg) Crossing Borders: The Example of Michael Frayn’s Afterlife This paper examines various types of Anglo-German theatrical transfer, using as an example Michael Frayn’s play Afterlife (2008). Afterlife describes the last twenty-three years in the life of German-Austrian director Max Reinhardt, employing Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s play Jedermann as its foil, since Frayn considers Reinhardt’s production of Jedermann as his major lasting achievement. In a first step, Afterlife is discussed in the context of Frayn’s trilogy of German history plays that also includes Copenhagen (1998) and Democracy (2003). In these plays, Frayn takes up the function of a cultural interpreter, introducing British audiences to German themes. The second part of this paper discusses Afterlife from the point of view of drama translation, since a substantial part of the play consists of translated passages from Jedermann. In the third section, Jedermann itself moves into the focus of investigation, since it is itself an instance of Anglo-German theatrical transfer, an adaptation of the fifteenth-century English morality play The Somonynge of Everyman. Finally, the essay considers the issue of theatrical re-appropriation in evidence in Frayn’s reversal of several of Hofmannsthal’s changes and innovations to the medieval model. Another aspect of theatrical re-appropriation is the 2011 translation of Afterlife into German, which reinstates Hofmannsthal’s verse and, in its afterword, questions some of Frayn’s central claims concerning the afterlife of Jedermann in the Salzburg Festival after 1945. Among contemporary British dramatists, Michael Frayn has shown a particularly pronounced and sustained interest in Germany and German themes.
