Capital of Culture Neighborhood of the Month

Cultural Capital Neighbourhood of the Month – Auwiesen

Press Release
Wednesday 18 March 2009

In March 2009, Linz’s south side will be serving as Capital of Culture Neighborhood of the Month. In conjunction with ONE DAY AND ONE NIGHT IN A SUBURB, 25 private households and institutions are inviting guests for a sojourn in Kleinmünchen/Auwiesen. A limited number of openings are still available, including accommodations for groups of up to six people.

Real-Life Hospitality
At first glance, the cultural treasures in store for visitors to the Kleinmünchen/Auwiesen neighborhood are nothing to write home about. But if you stick around and look around a bit, you start to notice some things well worth closer inspection. Stylish residential areas, the church in the cloth factory, the meadowlands of the Traun, sports & recreational facilities, and wide-ranging cultural offerings endow this area on the south side of Linz with a great quality of life. Now, you can go on a “blind date” to get better acquainted with this part of town and its inhabitants. Individuals, families and various local institutions are serving as hosts, and invite you to spend a day and a night with them.
