国庆日10月26日:萨尔茨堡州政府大楼向公众开放参观

10 月 26日是奥地利国庆日,萨尔茨堡的基姆湖宫向公众敞开大门,邀请市民走进这座州政府与州议会所在地参观。开放时间为当天上午 10 时至下午 2时,参观者可以走进州长办公室、会议室和议会大厅,每小时都有一场导览,由州议会议长布丽吉塔·帕劳夫迎接来访者,并介绍这座建筑的历史与议会民主的运作。上午 10时还安排了一场军乐音乐会,孩子们则可以观看辛德里木偶剧院的演出。基姆湖宫的历史可以追溯到约两百年前,当时这里是基姆湖主教的居所,如今则是州长办公室与政府会议室的所在地,内部保留了大量历史陈设,其中包括一套约 1750 年的版画收藏。颇具趣味的是,如今萨尔茨堡州议会 36名议员开会的房间,过去曾经是储存粮食的仓库。萨尔茨堡首届自由选举产生的州议会于 1861 年 4月 6 日召开,而现在使用的议事厅首场会议则在 1868年举行。活动现场,奥地利武装部队与警方也设有咨询展位,军方介绍国防与职业机会,警方提供安全建议,包括当前常见的诈骗防范知识,州志愿服务办公室则解答有关志愿服务的问题。国庆日开放政府建筑,是奥地利多地沿袭多年的传统,意在拉近政府与市民的距离。
National Day on October 26: Salzburg State Government Building Opens to the Public
October 26 is Austria's National Day, and the Chiemseehof in Salzburg opened its doors to the public, inviting citizens to visit the seat of the state government and state parliament. Opening hours were from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. that day; visitors could walk into the governor's office, meeting rooms and the parliament hall, with a guided tour every hour, welcomed by Brigitte Pallauf, President of the state parliament, who introduced the building's history and the workings of parliamentary democracy. A military band concert was also arranged at 10:00 a.m., while children could watch a performance by the Sindri Puppet Theatre. The history of the Chiemseehof dates back about two hundred years, when it was the residence of the Bishop of Chiemsee; today it houses the governor's office and government meeting rooms, retaining many historical furnishings inside, including a collection of prints from about 1750. Interestingly, the room where the 36 members of the Salzburg state parliament now meet was once a grain warehouse. The first freely elected Salzburg state parliament convened on April 6, 1861, and the first meeting in the currently used chamber was held in 1868. At the event site, the Austrian Armed Forces and the police also set up information booths: the military introduced national defense and career opportunities, the police provided safety advice including currently common fraud prevention knowledge, and the state volunteer service office answered questions about volunteering. Opening government buildings on National Day is a tradition followed in many parts of Austria, intended to bring the government closer to citizens.
