Hi all, The pole-style sundial at the Stephansdom in Vienna is - as we believe - only the oldest pole-style sundial of Austria, but not of Europe. It dates from 1554. There exist of course older pole-style sundials in other parts of Europe! And we also know, that already about 100 years earlier a sudial could be found at the Stephansdom in Vienna, probably made by Peuerbach.
Because this existing sundial from 1554 at the Stephansdom is the first of its type here in Austria, we in the Austrian Sundial Society (GSA) use it as our logo.
