Kurhaus - a photo on Flickriver

Kurhaus

            The Kurhaus is located in Merano, the second largest city of South Tyrol, and it is a masterpiece of Art Nouveau. In 1874 the historic building was inaugurated and consisted of today’s western wing. In these days the Kurhaus was illuminated by 102 gas flames, which have been replaced in 1897 by electric lights. At the turn of the century the former reading rooms were established and in 1911 the renovations were completed.

The architect Friedrich Ohmann from Vienna designed the rotunda and the Kursaal for the Kurhaus which make a significant contribution to the beauty and elegance the buildings conveys. In fact the Kurhaus is one of the masterpieces of Art Nouveau buildings in the Alpine area. Kurhaus and Kursaal were constructed in 1913 and 1914 and have been inaugurated in 1914. Artists carrying out the ceiling paintings in the Kursaal were Rudolf Jettmar, Horazio Gaigher and Alexander Rothaug.

Recently the entire building has been renovated and is now venue for different events such as concerts, balls, banquets, presentations and press conferences. A total of 13 halls provide perfect settings for events for 10 up to 1,000 visitors. Moreover there is a restaurant with pastry shop providing treats for your palate. Also the Tourist Authority of Merano is integrated into the Kurhaus.
