Description
The Passau Wolf is one of the most famous historical symbols of the city of St. Pölten and commemorates the city's centuries-long affiliation with the Diocese of Passau. The wolf sculpture visible today was erected between 1937 and 1938 and placed on Kardinal-Franz-König-Platz. It is part of a fountain and stands on a stele together with the city coat of arms, emphasizing its heraldic significance. The figure was created by Austrian sculptor Ferdinand Andri, while the architectural design of the fountain was created by architect Rudolf Wondracek.
The wolf is not there as a decorative animal motif, but as a deliberately chosen symbol of power and identity. The so-called Passau wolf is an ancient heraldic figure that originally comes from the coat of arms of the city and the bishopric of Passau and can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Since St. Pölten was under the secular and spiritual rule of the bishops of Passau for many centuries, this symbol was also incorporated into the city's coat of arms.
