Information board for the eastern facade of the Landhaus (Gauhaus) Innsbruck

The National Socialists built a Gaue building, now known as the Landhaus with the seat of the Tyrolean state government, at the current Eduard-Wallnöfer-Platz in 1938/39. By the end of 1941, the building, officially termed the Landhaus expansion, was finally completed. Since Vorarlberg was annexed to Tyrol during the NS period – forming the Gaue Tirol-Vorarlberg – the National Socialists not only placed the Tyrolean but also the Vorarlberger coat of arms on the east façade. Between them stood the NS Party eagle with swastika, which was torn down in 1945.
