Inscription. Dieses Haus liess Erzherzog Sigismund von Tirol um 1480 für seinen Burgriesen Nickolaus Haidl erbauen und mit dessen Bildnis zieren. Dasselbe wurde von verschiedenen historischen Persöulichkeiten bewohnt und diente u. a. dem Feldherrn Prinz Eugen von Savoyen, mehrmals als Absteigequartier, so 1711 vom 22 November bis 2 Dezember. Im Jahre 1809 besorgte die Küche dieses Gasthauses die Tafel Andreas Hofer’s und seines Stabes in der Hofburg.

German-English translation:

Archduke Sigismund of Tyrol had this house built in 1480 for the town leader Nickolaus Haidl, and had it graced with its portrait. Over time the building housed several well-known persons, including the commander Prince Eugene of Savoy. Several times it served as a barracks, for example from November 22 to December 2, 1711. In 1809 the kitchen of this inn got the table of Andreas Hofer and his staff from the Hofburg.

Also see . . . Presentation of the Emperor’s Gifts to Andreas Hofer at the Hofburg.... German History in Documents and Images (GHDI) presents an engraving by Ferdinand Schirnboeck of Hofer and his staff at a table (see last line of marker) in the Hofburg, where they receive gifts from the Austrian Emperor (September 20, 1809), along with the promise that Austria would not abandon the Tyrol. The Peace of Schoenbrunn, several weeks later, did exactly that, however, and the French and Bavarians retook the Tyrol. Hence the significance of the table. (Submitted on September 22, 2013.)
