Burg Hohenberg
Der geräumige Burghof der Höhenburg Burg Hohenberg wird von der um 1480 entstandenen, auf einer 125 Meter über der Eger aufragenden Felskuppe, unregelmäßig sechseckigem Grundriss errichteten Ringmauer am Rand des Ortszentrums der Stadt Hohenberg an der Eger umschlossen. Sie ist an den Eckpunkten durch das Torhaus, drei runde Geschütztürme und den viereckigen Gefängnisturm zusätzlich befestigt ist. Ein vierter Rundturm ist im 19. Jahrhundert abgegangen.

Gloriette, Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna, Austria, Europe
A gloriette is a building in a garden erected on a site that is elevated with respect to the surroundings. The structural execution and shape can vary greatly, often in the form of a pavilion or tempietto, more or less open on the sides. The largest and probably most well-known gloriette is in the Schönbrunn Palace Garden in Vienna. Built in 1775 as the last building constructed in the garden according to the plans of Austrian imperial architect Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg as a temple of renown to serve as both a focal point and a lookout point for the garden, it was used as a dining hall and festival hall as well as a breakfast room for emperor Franz Joseph I. The dining hall, which was used up until the end of the monarchy, today has a café in it, and on the roof an observation platform overlooks Vienna. The Gloriette's decorative sculptures were made by the famous Salzburg sculptor Johann Baptist von Hagenauer. The Gloriette was destroyed in the Second World War, but had already been restored by 1947, and was restored again in 1995. The Gloriette is dedicated as a Monument to Just War, that which leads to peace. With the succession to the throne of Maria Theresa came first the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and later the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). The way of writing of the year uses a Latinization of the Greek letter Φ (phi) for 1000. In Ancient Rome it was also common to represent the number 1000 by the Greek letter phi instead of with an M. An essential part of the inscription is the addition of AVGVSTO and AVGVSTA, used as a link to the first Roman emperor and state god AVGVSTVS by his heirs and successors as finally the Habsburgs in their functions as emperors of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation. There's a lesser known 90% size replica of the original Schönbrunner Gloriette about 23 km from Sanghai, China. (picture on the linked page). The word gloriette can also refer to a large birdcage, similar in form to the architectural gloriette, often made out of wrought iron or, more rarely, wood. In the garden of the Priory of Notre-Dame d'Orsan, many wood gloriettes decorate and overshadow the alleys. Climbing plants are often associated with this type of construction.
FICHTELGEBIRGE AND PORCELAIN - German Porcelain Museum full Documentation Doku
Porzellanikon in Selb is located in a former Rosenthal factory which closed down in 1969. More than 9,000 m2 of the converted industrial site is today home to three separate museums.
Founded in 1866 by Jakob Zeidler and situated right next to the Hof-Selb railway line which is still in use, in 1917 the company passed into the hands of Philipp Rosenthal, under whose guidance it flourished. The tradition was carried on by his visionary son. After the 1970s the building stood empty, only to be restored to its original condition in the early 1990s, as an industrial monument drawing on the latest thinking regarding the preservation of historic buildings. Bavaria's first industrial museum has all the demure charm of the former 19th century factory... Back in 1982 Porzellanikon and the German Porcelain Museum found a home for themselves in Hohenberg a.d.Eger, in an old, traditional building, the villa that once belonged to the director of the family-owned company C.M. Hutschenreuther.
