100 years Garstenauer
26.06. - 31.08.2025
As part of the sommer.frische.kunst program, the architectural legacy of Gerhard Garstenauer is honored—an architect who shaped Bad Gastein with his brutalist buildings. Exhibitions, a symbolic commemorative table at Kongressplatz, and events at the Kraftwerk, Felsentherme, and Straubingerplatz highlight his visionary work in historical and contemporary contexts. This celebration reveals his lasting mark on the town’s architecture.
