In 1844 Demeter von Constantinovics acquired a farm at the foot of the Rax. He had it converted into probably one of the first summer villas in the Reichenau Valley and named it “Villa Trautenberg” after the foothill of the Raxalpe.
In 1867, the composer Friedrich von Flotow acquired it and made minor alterations. Flotow worked here on the opera “L’Ombre”, which had its premiere in Paris in 1870. In 1873 he sold the villa to the banker Viktor Alexander von Erlanger. Viktor Erlanger was accepted into the home association of the community and due to many acts of charity, Erlanger Park and the Erlanger Cross were named after him. After the marriage of his daughter Adolfine to Alfred Count Salm-Hoogstraeten, the property passed to the Salm couple in 1891 and then to their daughter-in-law Maud Salm in 1925. In 1941, Villa Trautenberg was requisitioned by the German Wehrmacht and was the base of a Luftwaffe construction battalion.
Maud Salm sold the entire property to the Chamber of Labor of Lower Austria in 1950. In 1978 the building was removed in its entirety and a recreation home was built. 1980 was the ceremonial opening of the Josef-Fuchs-Heim, which was extended in 1994 by another reconstruction with seminar rooms. Since 1995 the recreation home has been run as Parkhotel Hirschwang. In 2002, modernization was necessary and another reconstruction took place.
The last renovation took place in 2016 and we offer perfect conditions for people seeking relaxation and inquisitive seminar visitors alike. Located at the foot of the Rax in the middle of a park with ancient trees, here you can enjoy nature, recharge your batteries and train your mind.
