The four-times weekly Air Berlin service will be plied with a 144-seater A319 aircraft, with flights starting on December 1 and departing Stansted on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 1410, and from Salzburg at 1230.
Ryanair currently offers a four-times weekly service from Stansted to the birthplace of Motzart, while BA also flies four times per week from Gatwick.
The new Stansted-Salzburg route will be the sixth direct Air Berlin service from the UK, and the only one outside Germany.
