Stadtwerkstatt - What and Where is it
AIR OF LINZ
VIEW OF LINZ
THE TOWER BY THE DANUBE Adolf Hitler pointed at the street Donaulände on the Urfahr side of the river: „Here, after the bend of the river, I envisage the "Tower by the Danube". The tower standing detached like a campanile, and yet part of the great "Hall of the Community of the People".
He rose and took me by the arm: „Do you get me, Giesler. The staircase up the tower is to traverse the connecting passage without confining the vault. This vault is to be the burial place of my parents.“
Adolf Hitler put down the pencil he had used for marking the site of the tower and said in a low voice, "I want a carillon on the tower, not for every day; but on special occasions it is to play a motif from Bruckner's Fourth Symphony, the Romantic Symphony. It is suited for a carillon, this peculiar melody that affects me so deeply."
Quotation from "Ein anderer Hitler", account of his architect Giesler, Druffel—publ.
