HOTEL REVIEW

In 1844, Demeter von Constantinovics acquired a farm at the foot of the Rax. He had this turned into probably one of the first summer villas in the

Reichenauer Tal and named it “Villa Trautenberg” after the foothills of the Raxalpe.

In 1867, the composer Friedrich von Flotow had acquired it and

slightly rebuilt. Flotow worked here on the opera “L`Ombre”, which premiered in Paris in 1870.

In 1873, he sold the villa to the banker Viktor Alexander von Erlanger.

Erlanger was accepted into the community’s home association and the Erlanger Park and the Erlanger Cross were named after him due to many acts of charity. After the marriage of his daughter Adolfine to

Alfred Count Salm-Hoogstraeten passed the property to the Salm couple in 1891 and then to their daughter-in-law Maud Salm in 1925.

In 1941, Villa Trautenberg was destroyed by the German Wehrmacht .

and was the base of an air force construction battalion.

Maud Salm sold the entire property to the Chamber of Labor of Lower Austria in 1950 .

In 1978, the building was completely removed and a recreation home

erected.

1980 saw the grand opening of the Josef-Fuchs-Heim, which was extended in 1994 with the addition of seminar rooms.
