Inscription. Palais Lodron
Josef Nikolaus Graf Lodron hat 1744 zwei an dieser Stelle stehende Bürgerhäuser erworben und sei noch vor 1749 einheitlich als Rokokopalais umbauen lassen. Aus dieser Zeit stammt auch das Medaillon in der Höhe des ersten Stockes mit der Reliefdarstellung des Innsbrucker Mariahilf-Gnadenbildes als Schutzpatronin des Hauses. Nach 1795 wechselte das Palais mehrmals den Besitzer und befand sich ab 1870 im Eigentum der Familie bzw. des bekannten Innsbrucker Bürgermeisters von 1896 bis 1923 Wilhelm Greil.

German-English translation:
In 1744 Josef Nikolaus, Count Lodron, acquired two neighboring townhouses and sometime before 1749 they were said to have been converted into a single Rococo palace. The medallion of Holy Mary of Innsbruck, located above the second floor, has since that time served as the patron saint of the house. The palace changed hands several times after 1795, and was from 1870 onwards under the ownership of the Greil family - the family of the famous Mayor of Innsbruck from 1896-1923, Wilhelm Greil.
