Is it just a coincidence? This unassuming lane, Bierjodlgasse, where we stand before the Weiße Kreuz, hints at a curious past. Don’t let the simple facade of the Weiße Kreuz fool you. This building has a rich history dating back to 1329. It even predates the name “Bierjodlgasse,” which only emerged in the 18th century. Before that, this lane was simply part of the poor people’s quarter in the cathedral district. The Weiße Kreuz itself is even older than its 1682 mention as the “Bierjodlhaus.” The name “Weiße Kreuz” harkens back to the 16th century. Its legacy of serving beer began in 1687 thanks to Margaretha Waldherrin. She was the widow of Rochus Waldherr and the first to hold a license to tap beer here. So, as you enjoy a drink at the Weiße Kreuz today, remember you’re experiencing centuries of Salzburg’s vibrant history.
