== History == left|thumb|Ceiling fresco at Fuhrmannhaus The history of the Fuhrmannhaus can be sourced back to the 17th century by a stair railing from the year 1687. This railing is part of the reconstruction after the Second Viennese Ottoman siege in 1683. At the site of the house, however, there is also evidence of a Roman watchtower and a medieval settlement, where today's Linzer Straße (Linzer Street) applies as an important transport road to Linz since the 12th century. Furthermore, a barred tiny window from the time before 1500 is still preserved in the courtyard of the building. The Fuhrmannhaus has an art-historically valuable small hall with frescoes from the late 17th century. This hall is currently used for cultural events such as classical concerts and readings. Furthermore, the building accommodates a traditional Viennese wine tavern. In the courtyard art exhibitions and different markets are held, such as farmers' and Christmas markets.
