Gustav Jahn
Gustav Jahn (17 May 1879, Vienna - 17 August 1919, on the , Ennstal Alps) was a landscape painter, poster artist and mountaineer who lived most of his life in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Early life and education Gustav Jahn was born in 1879 in Vienna. His true passion was mountaineering; an interest which dated from a very early age. Starting in 1895, he attended the private art school operated by Adolf Kaufmann, and in 1896 at age 16 was admitted at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.

He eventually combined his interests; specializing in landscapes and genre scenes of the high mountains. As part of the Rome Prize he won a Kenyon study scholarship in 1904 which he used more for climbing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

World War I
World War I (28 July 1914 11 November 1918), often abbreviated as WWI, was one of the deadliest global conflicts in history. Belligerents included much of Europe, the Russian Empire, the United States, and the Ottoman Empire, with fighting occurring throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Pacific, and parts of Asia. An estimated 9 million soldiers were killed in combat, plus another 23 million wounded, while 5 million civilians died as a result of military action, hunger, and disease. Millions more died in genocides within the Ottoman Empire and in the 1918 influenza pandemic, which was exacerbated by the movement of combatants during the war. Prior to 1914, the European great powers were divided between the Triple Entente (comprising France, Russia, and Britain) and the Triple Alliance (containing Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy). Tensions in the Balkans came to a head on 28 June 1914, following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ski Jumper
Ski jumping is a winter sport in which competitors aim to achieve the farthest jump after sliding down on their skis from a specially designed curved ramp. Along with jump length, competitor's aerial style and other factors also affect the final score. Ski jumping was first contested in Norway in the late 19th century, and later spread through Europe and North America in the early 20th century. Along with cross-country skiing, it constitutes the traditional group of Nordic skiing disciplines. The ski jumping venue, commonly referred to as a ''hill'', consists of the jumping ramp (''in-run''), take-off table, and a landing hill. Each jump is evaluated according to the distance traveled and the style performed. The distance score is related to the construction point (also known as the ''K-point''), which is a line drawn in the landing area and serves as a "target" for the competitors to reach. The score of each judge evaluating the style can reach a maximum of 20 points. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Große Bischofsmütze
The Große Bischofsmütze (German: "great bishop's mitre") is the highest peak in the Gosaukamm range of the Dachstein Mountains, Austria. Together with the Kleine Bischofsmütze (), the Große Bischofsmütze () forms a distinctive twin-peak, with the two summits separated by the ''Mützenschlucht'' ravine''.'' The mountain is in the state of Salzburg, near the border with Upper Austria, and forms part of the larger Northern Limestone Alps. History The name of the mountain can be attributed to its characteristic shape, that resembles a bishop's mitre ("Bischofsmütze"). The mountain has also been referred to historically as ''Gosauer Stein'' ("Stone of Gosau") due to its location overlooking the town of Gosau. The Große Bischofsmütze was first ascended on June 28, 1879 by Johann Anhäusler and Johann Steiner. Two major rockfalls occurred in 1993 that displaced 100,000 tonnes of rock into the valley below, altering the mountain's visual profile.
