Graz: Opernhaus (1877)
Glass no.2337: see Graz (A)
The Opernhaus [left, no.2337]
was built in 1898–1899 by the famous architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer.
The theater, built in Baroque revival style, was named Stadttheater (Municipal Theatre) at the time.
During World War II it suffered some minor damages of the front parts. Nevertheless, the building was not restoerd to its
prior appearance; instead, the façade was simplified, most of the ornamental statues and stuccos were removed,
and the portico was pulled down. The interior decorations, however, are still preserved.
Major renovation works were carried out in 1983–1985, including the construction of a steel and glass skywalk
between the theatre and the new stage warehouse (i. e. the stage house of the old Thalia-Theater).
The original iron curtain, painted by Alexander Rothaug was also restored at that occasion.
The theatre originally had a capacity of 1,800 seats plus 200 standing; today it has 1,267 seats and 100 standing.
It is used by the "Bühnen Graz" for opera, musical and ballet performances.
The Sprudel-Kolonnade [left: no.695, right: no.802, below right: no.870]
houses the best-known of the springs of Karlovy Vary. The "Sprudel" [below left: no.1632],
located on the right bank of the Teplá river,
is the strongest of all the local springs. It supplies 2,000 litres per minute. The primary temperature is 73°C, but
parts of the waters are also cooled down to 57°C and 41°C for dringking purposes. The fountain (12–14 m high)
in the colonnade is one of the popular tourist attractions. The spring had already been known long before Karlovy Vary
was founded. The earliest attempts to protect the waters from floodings by the Teplá river date already from around 1500.
The cast-iron colonnade was built in 1879 on a design by Fellner and Helmer.
This wonderful construction existed until 1939. Provisional wooden colonnade buildings replaced it in 1940 and 1945/1947.
A modern construction was finally built in this place in 1969–1975.

Чернівці (Černivci): Stadttheater (Municipal Theatre) (1905)
Glass no.2445: see Чернівці (Černivci) (UA)
The Theatre (Teatrul im. Olgi Kobylyanskoy) [left] was built in 1904–1905 as Municipal Theatre
by the famous architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer from Vienna.
The design had been projected for Czernowitz in 1900, but the project was put on hold for several years. Subsequently, the plans were first used by
Fellner and Helmer for the Stadttheater Fürth (Germany) in 1901–1902. As the Czernowitz project was taken up again, the original plans were used
with slight alterations. Hence, the theatres of Černivci and Fürth are very similar in appearance. The theatre's capacity was 813 seats.
When Czernowitz became the Romanian city of Cernăuţi, the theatre was renamed Teatrul National on 2nd January 1922.
When Černivci became Ukrainian, the theatre was renamed in honour of the Ukrainian poet
Olga Kobylyanska whose statue is located in front of the theatre.

Glass no.577: see Zagreb (HR)
The Art Pavilion (Umjetnički paviljon) [left, no.577: top left picture]
on King Tomislav Square (Trg kralja Tomislava)
is the oldest exhibition hall on the Slavic south and the only building that has been purposely built for major,
representative exhibitions. In 1895 the painter Vlado Bukovac launched the initiative for the construction of the Art
Pavilion. After the closing of the Millennium exhibition in Budapest, the iron construction frame
of the Croatian pavilion was transported to Zagreb. The architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer were charged with
designing the building while local constructors were in charge of the construction works. After two years of construction,
the Pavilion was formally opened on December 15, 1898, with the representative exhibition 'Croatian Salon'.
