!!!Rathausmann

Rathausmann (= "Town Hall Man"), one of Vienna's landmarks, 3.4 m 
high; representation of a standard-bearer in armour, placed on top of 
the tower of the town hall (98 m) in 1882. The Rathausmann was 
crafted in embossed copper by the craftsman A.  Nehr after a model by 
the sculptor F. von Gastell (designed by F. von  Schmidt). 
It was restored in 1985.
