The "Ruhepol" acoustic refuge of Linz09 / European Capital of Culture
This acoustic refuge will thus be located in a space with quite remarkable origins. To mark the 100th anniversary of the laying of the cathedral’s foundation stone in 1862, plans were set in motion to install a superb organ to commemorate the man who was the driving force behind the church’s construction, Bishop Rudigier. This Rudigier Organ was indeed completed in 1968, though at a very high price—the spectacularly beautiful rose window that had bathed the cathedral’s interior in magnificent light was barricaded. The result is a space that is one-of-a-kind in Europe. The Rudigier Hall is 10 x 10 meters square and 20 meters high. Its proportions, its acoustics and its atmosphere are all unique. It’s as if it were meant to serve as an acoustic refuge.
