Roseggerwarte (Graz)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Roseggerwarte on the Ruckerlberg is a lookout point in the ninth district of Graz, Waltendorf .

The waiting room, named after the Styrian poet Peter Rosegger, is a tower-like bay window built in the 19th century in a Wilhelminian-style villa on the Ruckerlberg. Josef Zwicknagel, owner of a delicatessen shop, wanted to open the waiting room to visitors. The rush was limited and the villa was sold. The Roseggerwarte, unlike the other Graz observatories, is not free-standing and is not open to the public.
