Rainer Regimental Museum Salzburg

The Rainer Regimental Museum is part of the museum landscape at Hohensalzburg Fortress. It serves to commemorate the former Salzburg house regiment, the "k. u. k. infantry regiment 'Archduke Rainer' No. 59," and displays weapons, uniforms, and other memorabilia from peacetime and wartime.


The Importance of the Museum

Since 1924, Hohensalzburg Fortress has been home to the Rainer Regiment Museum. The purpose of the exhibition is to commemorate that regiment, which was one of the most loyal to Austria and was established in 1682 against the Turks. The name "Rainer Regiment" is derived from Archduke Rainer Ferdinand, a second cousin of Emperor Franz Joseph I.

The Museum Today

Memorabilia from times of war and peace form the core of the exhibition in eight rooms. Weapons, uniforms, photos, trophies, and much more are meant to remind visitors of the achievements and successes of the regiment, especially during World War I. Around 5,000 fallen soldiers had to be mourned by the regiment at that time.
