This tile in the Steingasse reminded me of the fact that a lot of stove setters (Hafner) used to work in this street. Luise Spannring is a known name as well. She became famous for running a ceramic school and creating nativity scenes made of ceramic.

Three-headed peacock in Constance
In the streets of Constance (Konstanz), you may see this depiction of a three-headed peacock. Each head wore a tiara. What is the meaning of this strange combination? It is an allusion to the Three Popes Controversy.
Reblaus Sculpture
You find this fun sculpture in Gumpoldskirchen next to a memorial plaque to the Austrian actor Hans Moser. Besides his movies and plays, Moser became famous for performing a song about the Reblaus (Pyhlloxera). The Reblaus is a pest for grapevines.
Memorial plaque to Arthur Fleischmann
This memorial plaque seen at the Favoritenstraße 12 is dedicated to the sculptor Arthur Fleischmann. The design is pretty special. It has a piece of Perspex included. So it reminds of the fact that the artist used this material in his works many times.
