Rathausmann, Monument at City Hall Tower, Vienna, Austria
The Rathausmann stands at the top of Vienna's City Hall, measuring 5.4 meters tall and weighing 650 kilograms at the height of 98 meters.
The statue's armor design follows the style of Emperor Maximilian I, created from melted Russian kopecks during the construction of Vienna's City Hall.
The Rathausmann functions as a symbol of Vienna's municipal authority and represents the architectural excellence of the 19th-century Neo-Gothic period.
Visitors can climb 331 steps through two spiral staircases to reach the viewing platform near the statue's base for city views.
An 800-kilogram spherical counterweight balances the statue during strong winds, while its feet correspond to size 63 in European measurements.
