About the history of the property:


Milieu building located at the transition from historicism to the local art movement, which typologically stands between the "castle" and the bourgeois villa building of the time. The facility is located in largely level terrain, hard on the steep slope to the Danube at the less pronounced summit of the Kletzengütlwald and can be reached via a serpentine access road, some of which has been hewn out of the rock, from the magic valley.


Three-storey main building with a rectangular floor plan and gabled roof, to which a four-storey, square tower with a tent roof is attached at an obtuse angle, creating the effect of a wedge tower. At its southern corner there is a bay window on corbels on the top floor. The entire building is carefully executed in quarry stone masonry from the adjacent granite, irregularly distributed window and door openings, the different shapes of which are supposed to suggest a "grown state".

Story

In 1908, the then municipal director of the city of Linz, Edward Schiller, acquired the Kletzengütlwald at the entrance to the magic valley as a building site for the construction of a country house on a twenty meter high cliff above the Danube. He wanted to create a "model of an early medieval dwelling for a minor nobleman that served more as a place of residence than for military purposes".


Schiller designed all the plans and detailed drawings himself, the architects Wilhelm Fabigan and Carl Feichtinger only carried out the construction. Various components from demolished Linz houses were used, and Edward Schiller attached particular importance to their collection: from the houses at Hauptplatz 14, Hofgasse 2 and 4, six stone door frames with different profiles were installed in the basement, as were parts of the houses at Hauptplatz 13 and 11.


In 1920, Edward Schiller had to sell the property for economic reasons, which, after several changes of ownership, was converted into a school for the union of municipal employees in 1946 and finally became privately owned again.

Wikipedia entry:


The Rosenburg in Linz is a castle built in 1908/09 by Edward Schiller in a historicizing style, coming from the Danube at the entrance to the magic valley. The name Rosenburg derives from the favorite flower of the builder's wife.

The property on which the Rosenburg was built was the so-called Kletzengütlwald . It was acquired in 1908 by Edward Schiller, a lawyer from the city of Linz. The building of the Rosenburg was subsequently erected on a 20 m high rock in a historicist style. The idea was to erect the building based on the model of an early medieval military seat. In addition, it was important to the client that the walls were built from rock that was broken on the spot, that the pitched roof was made of wood felled here and that the corresponding door and window frames were made from local material. In addition, architectural parts and debris (late Gothic window and door jambs, beams from the 17thCentury, entrance portal to the gate tower, corbels, steps) and built into the building. Other components were acquired through the antiques trade (stone fountain grander, door locks, Renaissance wall fountain).

In the main living room, the so-called Nibelungenhalle, there is a picture by the painter Maximilian Liebenwein, who depicts the marriage scene of the king's son Giselher with the daughter Dietlinde of Margrave Rüdiger von Pöchlarn from the Nibelungenlied in the presence of his wife Gotlinde.

The house had to be sold in 1920 for financial reasons. The first successor in the possession was the Salurner wine merchant Johann Khol, who was shot by his wife with a hunting rifle. Then came Robert and Maria Reschner, whose marriage soon broke up when they bought the castle. However, Maria Reschner was able to obtain the right to live in the castle; she died on Christmas Day 1942 together with her second husband, Prince Albrecht von Schaumburg-Lippe, allegedly from smoke inhalation, although a double suicide is more likely. The son Felix Reschner, who subsequently owned the company, died in 1943 with an unsecured handgun. His father Robert succeeded him in possession. However, Felix Reschner had concluded a rental and pre-sale agreement with the city of Linz. In 1947, for example, a trade union school was set up in the building used by the union of municipal employees
