Josef Mayburger

Josef Michael Mayburger (30 March 1814, Straßwalchen – 2 November 1908, Salzburg) was an Austrian painter, teacher and local politician.

He still managed to attend teaching seminars in Salzburg and serve a business apprenticeship.

From 1862 to 1869, he served as a member of the Salzburg City Council, where he was known for his advocacy of historic preservation.

A city beautification society he founded in 1862 still exists today as the "Stadtverein Salzburg".

In 1924, the lower right bank of the Salzach River was named the "Josef Mayburger Quay".
