Glas mosaik Hugo von Hofmannsthal
Near the baroque Hofmannsthal-Schlössl in Kaltenleutgebner Straße in the 23rd district, the glass mosaic „Gestalten aus den Werken Hugo von Hofmannsthals“ (Figures from the Works of Hugo von Hofmannsthal) by Hermine Aichenegg from 1956 shows the life dates and motifs of well-known works by the Austrian writer. His rewritings of Greek tragedies, stories and essays, as well as his comedy plays, are among the most valuable contributions to Austrian poetry.
The painter Hermine Aichenegg, who died in 2007, is considered an unjustly forgotten representative of Viennese modernism in the upheaval of post-war Vienna in the 1950s. In addition to numerous oil and paper works, her murals can be discovered in public spaces in Vienna, Eisenstadt and Perchtoldsdorf.
