At this point every week we show a photo from Vienna and ask three questions about it. Anyone who correctly answers even one of these three questions has the right to participate.
The questions (to the photo):
1. Where is this artifact located in Vienna?
2. What is the name of the famous Viennese altar on which it can be seen?
3. Which emperor is this altar associated with?
The price:
Among the reports with correct answers, which will reach us by next Thursday, there will be a bottle of Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Terrassen 2021 from the Wachau domain (www.domaene-wachau.at) raffled off. To participate in the lottery, you must answer at least one question correctly and provide a postal delivery address. The legal process is excluded. Winners will be notified directly.
