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.

Luise Spannring in Salzburg
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.
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.
