The story of the Triumphal Arch of Innsbruck with the marriage memorial and the mourning of death


Triumphforte, the Triumphal Arch

   The Arc de Triomphe was originally built with the purpose of honoring the General of the General who won and returned from the war, but after the Roman Empire it was recognized as a symbol of the king's authority and glory and began to compete in the modern European countries. The Arc de Triomphe of Paris, built by Napoleon, is the first to be remembered for the Arc de Triomphe, but there are quite a few cities in other European cities that have Arc de Triomphe. The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, the Arc de Triomphe in front of the Louvre in Paris, the Arc de Triomphe in La Roche, Florence, etc. Among them, the Triumphforte in Innsbruck, which is posting today, is a building with a slightly unusual story.

Triumphforte in Innsbruck

  At the southern end of Maria Theresa Street in Innsbruck, the Triumphforte in Innsbruck, at the beginning of the old town, was built in 1765 to commemorate the marriage of his son Leopold the Great and the Spanish princess in 1765 by the Grandmother Maria Terezia, It is the building which started to build in Brook.



  On the southern side of the Triumphforte, which was first constructed, is carved a relief to celebrate the marriage of the portraits of the Leopold and the Spanish Princess Maria Luisa. As soon as we started construction, in the end of August, the husband of Maria Theresa, Franz Stefan, died, and the northern side was meant to mourn the death of Franz Stefan.


    On the northern side of the Triumphforte, on the old town of Innsbruck, is the northern side of the Triumphforte, where a relief to the death of Franz Ball is sculpted in the center of the Triumphforte, with statues of Franz Ball and Maria Theresa on both sides.

   If you are going to Innsbruck once in a while you will begin to build your wedding to commemorate your son's marriage and mourn the death of your husband, you should slowly appreciate the reliefs carved on both sides of the Triumphforte.
