Obviously you can identify the building, what is the historical significance of this building?
I have nothing so far...

But I'm guessing it has something to do with heart valves or mountain bikes...
 
Is this it?

Is this it?

Festung Hohensalzburg - Salzburg fortress

Nearly from everywhere in town you can see the town's landmark, its castle. The first building was erected in 1077 during a conflict between the Pope and the Emperor of that time. It's said that it is the best preserved castle of that size in Middle Europe. Inside the building you find two museums: One of string puppets and the Burgmuseum - the Fortress Museum. Although there exists an inclined elevator it is recommended to take a 20 minutes walk up to the castle, because of the perfect prospect of Salzburg. Tip: Two hours before the castle is closed there ist free entrance to the inner courtyards of the castle (but not into the building). admission: adults EUR 9,80; children EUR 5,10; families EUR 22,60
 
Not sure if you're asking about the Hohensalzburg Fortress or the University building? However; we took the funicular up to the Fortress and went to a candlelight dinner and a folkloric (help me think of the German word JimL)...presentation in a medieval room of the Fortress - both of which were lovely.

That sounds very interesting. I think I have a booklet on Salzburg but can't find it right now. We went to Vienna a year and a half ago, and traveled by car along the Danube up and down (or was it down and up) but didn't get to Salzburg.
 
Oh my gosh Susan.. You have dusted off my old brain and I found the booklet I bought in Saltzberg. Hope you find yours too..! Surely between us we can come up with a guess for Mtnbiker.. Maybe I'm going to have to fudge a bit and call my cousin who teaches German and French... or my professor friend who lives in Vienna.
 
We are specifically addressing the university.

To narrow it down, what famous composer performed for his first time in this location?
 
Very good Wise. Now how old was he and what did he perform?

Hint: Performance was with his sister.
 
1761
Wolfgang's first compositions are written. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart first performed before an audience in Salzburg on September 1st, 1761, when he took part in the Latin school play, "Sigismundus Hungariae Rex", as one of the "salii" (dancers) in a performance at the university auditorium... In his lifetime, Mozart never attended a school or a university, though he did have a close relationship with Salzburg University because of compositions he wrote to mark the successful graduation of his friends.


(He was not quite six years old...)
 
"The cause of Mozart's death cannot be determined with certainty. His death record listed "hitziges Frieselfieber" ("severe miliary fever", referring to a rash that looks like millet seeds), a description that does not suffice to identify the cause as it would be diagnosed in modern medicine. Dozens of theories have been proposed, including trichinosis, influenza, mercury poisoning, and a rare kidney ailment. The practice of bleeding medical patients, common at that time, is also cited as a contributing cause. However, the most widely accepted version is that he died of acute rheumatic fever; he had had three or even four known attacks of it since his childhood, and this particular disease has a tendency to recur, leaving increasingly serious consequences each time, such as rampant infection and heart valve damage."

Sehr interessant zu uns...!!
