Hangar-7 is an events venue, gallery and museum space adjacent to Salzburg Airport. Designed to bring together arts, aviation and the culinary arts, the venue hosts the Michelin-starred restaurant Ikarus,[1] two bars and a lounge alongside a collection of historical airplances, helicopters, Formula One racing cars, and more in rotating exhibitions.[2]
Hangar-7 was initially developed by Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz who was looking for more space for the Flying Bulls, a private aircraft collection and performance aviation fleet associated with Red Bull.[3][4] The Flying Bulls continues to be based at Hangar-7, and regular mainteneance on the collection takes place at "Hangar 8".[5]
Hangar-7 hosts regular Red Bull affiliated events, including "Paper Wings", an event for folded paper airplanes,[6] and films the live weekly talk show, "Sport und Talk aus dem Hangar-7" for ServusTV at the venue.[7]
Construction
Hangar 7 was designed by Volkmar Burgstaller. The building is airfoil shaped, constructed of 1,200 tons of steel and 75,000 sqft of glass surface. The steel-and-glass dome-shaped structure was engineered and built by Austrian specialists Waagner-Biro and completed in 2003.[8]
The building was specifically designed to accommodate the fleet of the Flying Bulls. The building's 40m wide door was developed to allow them to fit their largest plane, a Douglas DC-6B, inside.[9]
