3D scan of Franz Viehböck's Sokol space suit that he wore on his flight to the space station MIR. Franz Viehböck studied electronics engineering at the Vienna University of Technology, and became the first and as of today only Austrian Astronaut. On the 2nd of October, 1991, the Sojus-TM-13-rocket started in Baikonur (KAZ). The commander of the Austromir mission was the Russian Alexander Volkov and the third man was the Kazakh Toktar Aubakirov. 

The space suit is no longer exhibited at the Natural History Museum Vienna, but was on display from 2015–2021. It will be put on display at the Technical Museum Vienna. We want to thank Franz Viehböck for the opportunity to scan and present this piece of Austrian history!

Homo erectus (Peking Man) (1979rp10-1)-cranium

Christ statue of the forest devotion by Angelo Bortolotti in the 2nd district of Vienna.

After the opening of the Prater in 1766, people settled on the edge of the Prater. In 1862 an elementary school was opened. The principal attached an image of the Virgin Mary to a large tree in 1863 because the nearest church was far away. Franz Plankenbüchler was an innkeeper and ran a restaurant at Freudenauer Dammhafen. Franz, a deeply religious man, often crossed himself before the image of the Virgin Mary during his walks. In 1911, he decided to erect a statue of the Virgin Mary in a good spot nearby. This was the beginning of today's place of pilgrimage, which also includes a church (Maria Grün) since 1924.

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.

The statue of St. Francis of Assisi in the Lainzer Tiergarten is closely associated with the concept of animal welfare, as the saint is considered the patron saint of animals. It was created in 1934 by the sculptor Josef Josephu and was originally erected in the Bird Sanctuary near the Hermes Villa. Later, it was moved to the Vienna Animal Shelter, where it stood for many years before being restored and returned to its original location.

The statue depicts St. Francis of Assisi with outstretched arms, surrounded by animals, symbolizing his special connection to nature. He stands on a stone pedestal that also serves as a birdbath. Overall, the depiction appears serene and inviting and blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings of the Tiergarten.

In front of the elementary school on Josef-Hyrtl-Platz in Mödling stands a bust of Emperor Franz Joseph I, which was erected in 1902. The monument is located in front of the former Hyrtl Orphanage, a large building complex donated by the famous anatomist Josef Hyrtl to care for orphaned and poor children. Emperor Franz Joseph was considered the supreme patron of this institution, which is why the bust was dedicated to him as a token of gratitude.

The bronze bust stands on a stone pedestal bearing an inscription that honors the emperor as a patron and protector of the institution. Today, the historic building is used, among other things, as an elementary school. The bust and the entire building complex are listed as historic landmarks and still serve as a reminder of the social significance of the former orphanage for the city of Mödling.
