Brennerstraße 25
Leopold von Hasner (1818 – 1891), Minister of Education and briefly Prime Minister, was undoubtedly one of the prominent summer guests in the Ischl during the so-called “Age of the Founders” (Gründerzeit), that is from 1871 to the great stock market crash of 1873. Hasner lived in the house at Brennerstrasse 15 from 1881 to 1888.
A commemorative plaque made of copper sheet commemorates the originator of the Austrian Primary School Law (“Reichsvolksschulgesetz”) of 1869.
Along Hasnerallee alley (on the esplanade), there is a monument that commemorates him.
