SALZBURG BRANCH
Hosted by the Galerie 5020 the new G-Pod store in the heart of the Mozart's Salzburg just opened its gates to the public! Not only the store but alos the surrounding city is a "must go". 1756 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Salzburg's greatest son, was born here. 1842 saw the erection of a monument to him in what is today the hillarous Mozart square. It was not until 1816 that the Kronland Salzburg became part of the Habsburg Empire. The founding of the Salzburg Festival in the early years of this century brought new creative energy to the city, a stimulation still felt to this day. The years following World War II saw Salzburg develop into one of Austria's leading trade centres. At the same time the city became one of the most popular tourist venues in the country. In 1964 the world famous film "The Sound of Music" was made in Salzburg, but we will generously forgive that mistake in style and taste, just because the title of the work could not be better.
