Language: Original   -   Translation
Overview:  
 
Abstract: This thesis documents the inventory, condition and conservation treatment of the Aichersäule (1645), a
plague cross in Weidling (Lower Austria). Furthermore, the development of plague monuments throughout
the history of the epidemic in Lower Austria is illustrated considering different shapes and occasions for
their erection.
The Aichersäule is an example of different conservation problems for small monuments, therefore different
solutions to deal with those will be discussed. Main focus of the thesis is to discuss different kinds of mixed
fitting connections of construction parts from ancient to current times used in the context of conservation.
Those connections are often irreversible connected and consequently cause problems for their dismantling
and reinstalling in course of conservation. The conservation concept should be applicable for the treatment
of similar objects.
