Our history of "Linz over the years" moves into the next era – Linz in the Early Modern period . When we think about the Middle Ages, most of us have the same image in our heads of what life would have been like at that time. But what about the Early Modern period? During this time, Linz prospered as an important centre of trade with the establishment of Austria's first textile factory and other buildings that are well maintained and used to this day.
