Cultural Center Kals

Ködnitz 16, 9981 Kals am Großglockner, A
Architecture: Schneider & Lengauer (2012-2013) Builder-owner: Gemeinde Kals TIP: Events such as concerts or theater performances by the Volksbühne Kals regularly take place here.

In order to give space to the active club and cultural life, the community of Kals decided on constructing a new event center with a hall that seats over 300 people. Schneider and Lengauer realized an elongated building which follows the course of the road, is docked onto the old Ködnitzhof inn, and, with its steep saddle roof and the precisely placed openings, makes reference to the rectory.

Funeral Hall and Cemetery Expansion

9961 Hopfgarten in Defereggen, A
Architecture: Schneider & Lengauer (2010-2011) Builder-owner: Gemeinde Hopfgarten Accessibility: Cemetery at the St. John Nepomucene Parish Church. The listed St. Michael’s Chapel, which became a contemporary memorial room for the community’s fallen soldiers, was likewise redesigned.

In the course of the cemetery expansion, a new funeral hall, whose exterior façade made of quarry stone masonry is based on the solid natural stone wall of the cemetery, was erected. The space in the interior, featuring wood paneling and simple benches, ties into the tradition of the farmhouse parlor. A narrow window and a circumferential glass strip placed under the roof bring natural light into the space and establish the relationship to the village, resp. the mountains.

Town Office and Community Forum Nußdorf-Debant

Hermann-Gmeiner-Straße 4, 9990 Nußdorf-Debant, A
Architecture: Schneider & Lengauer, HERTL.ARCHITEKTEN (2008-2010) Builder-owner: Gemeinde Nußdorf-Debant Open to the public: partially TIP: Also worth seeing is the Nußdorf‐Debant family village, a housing estate with an integrated SOS Children’s Village by FUCHSUNDPEER und Mario Ramoni (2011).

Community facilities as well as numerous clubs were housed in the old "Community Forum” built in the 1960s (architecture: Hans Buchrainer). Both of these functions were separated when it was expanded by a town office. The "Community Forum” was renovated and correspondingly adapted to the needs of contemporary club life. Erected in a sensitive handling of the local scale, the "Town Office” was placed in front of the existing building so that a "market square” was created towards the street.

Village Hall "de calce”

Ködnitz 15, 9981 Kals am Großglockner, A
Architecture: Schneider & Lengauer (2004-2006) Builder-owner: Gemeinde Kals Open to the public: partially TIP: Also worth seeing is the renovation of the rectory erected by the barons from Görz around 1480, which was executed at the same time by Schneider & Lengauer.

Like the Glocknerhaus planned several years previously by the same architects, the community center enters into a dialog with the topographic conditions and the township of Ködnitz, which is characterized by the parish church and the late Gothic rectory. The four-story, compact structure with flat roofs and horizontal lines establishes a very serene relationship to the existing stock, without compromising it in its singularity.

Glocknerhaus

Ködnitz 7, 9981 Kals am Großglockner, A
Architecture: Schneider & Lengauer (1999-2000) Builder-owner: Gemeinde Kals, TVB Kals, Nationalparkverwaltung Tirol, Raiffeisenbank Matrei Open to the public: partially (exhibition only in the summer months) TIP: The exhibition space is in the basement and several rooms are devoted to the theme "Under the Spell of the Großglockner Mountain.”

The revitalization of the village center began in the small community of Kals am Großglockner with the Glocknerhaus, which houses the Hohe Tauern National Park administration, the Kals Tourism Association and a branch bank. A plain structure that follows the course of the road was erected; its scale and color scheme refer to the late Gothic rectory and the parish church and thereby creates a harmonious ensemble of old and new.
