Stefan Zweig Zentrum Salzburg
On the site of two smaller houses dating back to the 13th century, Edmund Sinnhuber, the abbot of St. Peter’s Abbey, had the Edmundsburg erected at the end of the 17th century as housing for “deserving retainers of the Abbey”. Since the mid-19th century, the building functioned as a “sanctuary for poor boys”, and until the end of the 1950s it was a boarding house for students and apprentices. In 1961 the International Research Centre for Social Ethics (Internationales Forschungszentrum für die Grundfragen der Wissenschaften) was founded here.
Since the autumn of 2008, Salzburg’s Paris Lodron University has re-established the building, which is owned by the Archdiocese of Salzburg, as a “House for Europe”. The Edmundsburg houses the Salzburg Centre of European Union Studies (SCEUS), the Faculty of Economic, Labour and European Law, and a European Centre for PhD Students. An important centre for friends of literature, the Stefan Zweig Centre, one of the University’s research centres, occupies the ground floor. An exhibition informs visitors about Stefan Zweig’s life and works, the Centre offers events focusing on Austrian literature in the first half of the 20th century, and international relations with other universities are cultivated here. The Stefan Zweig Centre publishes a series of academic publications and has been working on a new edition of the author’s fiction.
