Archiepiscopal splendor

Prince Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau was a farsighted man. He transformed the city into a masterpiece of Italian Baroque architecture. The Residenz served the secular and spiritual leaders for entertainment purposes.

In the heart of Mozart's city

Today as in earlier years, the state rooms are used by the state government on formal occasions, e.g. for official receptions, Festival receptions and similar high-caliber occasions. They also serve as an ideal setting for concerts.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart played in these rooms regularly. His violin concerto, K. 219 in A minor, was first performed in the Conference Room of the Residenz on December 20, 1775.
