Facts and practical information

Built in Linz in 1844, the Stifterhaus, where Adalbert Stifter lived from 1848 until his death in 1868, now houses the Upper Austrian Literature Museum, the Adalbert Stifter Institute and the Upper Austrian Literature House.

The house was built in 1844 by the Linz master builder Johann B. Metz and was owned by the cafetier Joseph Hartl from 1844 to 1857. It was subsequently purchased by the Danube Steamship Company. In 1973 it was acquired by the province of Upper Austria and extensively renovated from 1988 to 1992. In 1993 it was opened as the "StifterHaus", a center for literature and language in Upper Austria. Literary readings are held at the Stifterhaus, and since 2005 the institution has been the publisher of the literary magazine Die Rampe.
