Old Buildings & new Architecture |
 |
No other Austrian city has changed as much as Linz in the last 100 years, while at the same time preserving its identity. While the Second World War, the success as a business location and the year as European Capital of Culture may have shaped the city, they have in no way reduced the quality of life – more than 50 % green areas. The tobacco factory by Peter Behrens / Alexander Popp, the Solar City residential project, the award-winning station district and cultural buildings along the Danube are the areas where the change is really noticeable. So come and see. Discover old and new buildings and take a look at the changes in Linz. |
