Something was founded in 1853. I just don't know what. - Pan
Pan just casually playing his flute in the town center. - A gnome?
University of Leoben. - Basilisk
The basilisk, Schönlaterngasse 7. According to a myth, on 26 June 1212, the servant of a baker discovered a basilisk at the bottom of the well in the courtyard. He destroyed it by holding a mirror to it (looking into its eyes was known to be fatal). The basilisk exploded. Now I know where JK got her ideas from. - Basilisk
Basilisk in the Schönlaterngasse 7. - Pestsäule in Leoben
The plague column in the town square was erected in 1716. We see the Holy Trinity at the top, St Sebastian, St Rochus, St Jakob and St Florian. To fight the plague, the people were advised to isolate, distance and wear masks ... sounds familiar. - Saint Barbara
Saint Barbara by Katarina Sweda (2017). - St Francis Xavier church
The interior is basically the same since the 17th century. With an interesting contrast between black/gold/white. - St Jakob
Saint James the Less with some tool, with which he had been killed. - Saint Bartholomew
Just Saint Bart carrying and knife and his skin around ... - Leoben
A clever installation in a mining town. Glückau' - Pestsäule in Leoben
Leoben had to fight plague in 1347, 1352 and 1716. In 1716 the column was erected in the town square. Maybe it helped as there has been no more plague since :-) The Holy Trinity at the top with St. Barbara, St. Xaver, St. Sebastian on the left and St. Rochus, St. Jakob and St. Florian on the right.
