Getreidegasse street

Local name: Getreidegasse

Getreidegasse, literally Zbożowa Street, is a narrow street in the historic center of Salzburg. It has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1996. Currently, it is intended for pedestrian use only. She is best known as the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born in the house at number 9 and lived here until the age of 17. A museum devoted to the composer operates in this building.

In addition to the Mozart family, other well-known people lived and worked in the tenements at Getreidegasse. August Babel, an Austrian politician, worked in the workshop at number 3 for some time, and the painter Adrian Ludwig Richter lived and worked at number 21.

A characteristic feature of the street are relatively narrow and tall tenements and traditional iron signs on the facades. In the past, they were signboards of guilds and craftsmen, and now of numerous shops operating here.
