Vorarlberg appears in IS content as the ancestral origin of the Hohenems family, which produced archbishops Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau and Markus Sittikus; both men transformed Salzburg’s cityscape in the early 17th century, giving the distant western state an unexpected role in Salzburg’s architectural history.

    The opera stage at Bregenz floats on Lake Constance with no roof, and performances proceed as long as there is no lightning. The Bregenzer Festspiele (Bregenz Festival) runs every July and August with a different production each year, mounted on a stage that can accommodate sets of extraordinary scale, and the backdrop is the lake and the Swiss Alps.
