Through the monthly cultural evenings that Rudolf Szyskowitz organized in 1952 in the Catholic educational establishment “Mariatrost” in Graz and in which his students took part, Hans Wolf met his first sponsor in the person of the director, Monsignor Schneiber. He took the Wolf couple into his education center and let them work there; During this time, Hans Wolf designed a stained glass window for the chapel of the Bildungshaus. The former student of Rudolf Szyskowitz and Albert Paris Gütersloh was himself a teacher of drawing and painting at the Technical College in Graz from 1955.
