The new value of the popular series "Old Austria" shows as a motif the historic ticket hall of the K.K. Post Office of Trieste. History: For more than 500 years - from 1382 to 1918 - was the northern Italian port of Trieste (the current population is just over 200,000 people) Habsburg-Austrian. The protectorate developed imperceptibly and gradually into a real ownership relationship, represented by the imperial crown by the family of the Counts of Montenari. Apart from repeated occupations by Venice and the so-called "Napoleonic periods" remained Trieste until the First World War, a part of the Habsburg Austria. As the only large seaport of Austria-Hungary, Trieste took an important strategic position in the Habsburg monarchy and was the starting point of several short-lived colonial acquisitions. Around 1900, the city was in full bloom and it displayed its wealth through numerous magnificent buildings. In Trieste worked some of those well-known architects, who were also responsible in Vienna for the large ring road buildings in the style of historicism. Examples include Heinrich von Ferstel (Lloyd Palace), Wilhelm von Flattich (South Station) and Friedrich Schachner (various Palais) called. After the end of the Second World War, 1945, the city and its mixed-language surrounding area were claimed by Yugoslavia and it came for decades by the East-West conflict in a geographical fringe position. The disadvantages of the border position and the loss of economic importance have only changed in the recent past with the accession of Slovenia to the European Union (2004). From an intellectual point of view, on the other hand, Trieste has remained for years a place where cultures, languages ​​and religions meet; many famous artists and writers lived and worked in this city. By the way - the importance of Trieste also shows a generally neglected facility: As mentioned above, the most important port of Austria-Hungary, Trieste was, of course, a center of nautical and oceanographic knowledge - and so the harbor basin at the "Molo Sartorio" received a long-term observation Level to which the Central European elevation system "Meter over Adriatic" refers since the 19th century.
