Voitsberg

Voitsberg town-hall was built in the sixties of the 18th century . In 2002 Arik Brauer designed the facade with mottos in pictures and in 2003 the town-hall got its chimes.

Around 120m² of hand-painted tiles, which portray proverbs, were placed in mosaic form on the external walls of Voitsberg town-hall by the artist Professor Arik Brauer. In the top of the main facade you find the chimes with six porcelain figurines, which represent love, equality, conservation, bravery, peace and intelligence. Arik Brauer The Viennese artist who was born in 1929 briefly describes his work with the following words: “The facade was designed according to my plans, the painting depicts popular proverbs, overglaze fired onto the tiles. The figurines of the moving clock were modelled, fired and glazed.” Town-hall building block For just € 30.00 you can buy an original tile from the Brauer town-hall presented in a wooden box with a certificate and serial number.
