Entry Description
The Universitätsbibliothek Salzburg – Bibliotheksaula is a historically significant ceremonial hall rooted in the early history of Salzburg’s Benedictine University. Originating in the 17th century as part of the old university complex, the space initially served as a theatre and later evolved into a representative lecture and assembly hall. Since the mid-20th century, it has been integrated into the University Library, preserving valuable collections and emblematic objects such as the baroque Fürstaller Globe. The hall embodies centuries of academic, cultural, and intellectual tradition. This digital twin captures the architectural character and historical continuity of the Bibliotheksaula, enabling long-term preservation and global access to an essential part of Salzburg’s academic heritage.
