Erzherzog Johann Fountain on Main Square



Erzherzog Johann Brunnen 

Archduke John, a son of Empress Maria Theresia, did much good for the area and its advancement in his day and age, including in the realms of education, research, and scientific progress. A memorial fountain on the Main Square honors his life and contributions. Its four corners feature four allegorical female sculptures, each representing one of the principal rivers of what was then a larger Styria: Sann, Mur, Enns, and Drau.


One of the Mur bridges is also named after Erzherzog Johann.
