  • RIEGL RiCAST: Die 3D-Vermessung des Wiener Stephansdoms (German) 3D Surveying of the St. Stephen’s Cathedral Vienna
    Nikolaus Studnicka
    RIEGL Business Division Manager
    Terrestrial Laser Scanning
    Franz Zehetner
    Archivar der Dombauhütte St. Stephan Archivist of the Dombauhütte St. Stephan

    English Description: This German language RiCAST will discuss what RIEGL and the landmark of Vienna, the St. Stephen’s Cathedral, have in common.

    Franz Zehetner, from the archives of the Dombauhütte St. Stephan, is responsible for the extensive documents and plans of the gothic cathedral – some of them are already centuries old! Managing, updating, and supplementing the records on an ongoing basis and making them available for a wide variety of purposes, such as the ongoing restoration work, is an exciting but also a challenging task.

    Since 2005, the current project of the cooperation between Dombauhütte and RIEGL have proven how effective and helpful laser scanning can be for cultural heritage.

    Nikolaus Studnicka, RIEGL Business Division Manager Terrestrial Laser Scanning, has carried out extensive surveying work on and in St. Stephen’s Cathedral during the last two years. With only four scanning days, measurement and image data of slightly more than one terabyte were acquired, which now substantially support the work of the Cathedral Construction Office and the Dombauhütte.

    Learn more about the everyday life of a cathedral construction archivist, the very special tasks, that may occur in the field of preservation and revitalization of such an important cultural jewel, and how laser scanning can support this work.

    We are proud that RIEGL has been able to contribute to documenting St. Stephen’s Cathedral and providing the data that made it possible to visualize such a gigantic piece of cultural heritage!

    Deutsche Version: Erfahren Sie in diesem RiCAST, was RIEGL und das Wahrzeichen Wiens, den Stephansdom, verbindet.

    Franz Zehetner vom Archiv der Dombauhütte St. Stephan ist verantwortlich für die umfangreichen Unterlagen und Pläne der gotischen Kathedrale – zum Teil sind diese bereits Jahrhunderte alt! Die Aufzeichnungen laufend zu aktualisieren, zu ergänzen und für unterschiedlichste Zwecke, zum Beispiel die laufenden Restaurierungsarbeiten, zur Verfügung zu stellen, ist wahrlich eine spannende aber auch eine herausfordernde Aufgabe.

    Wie sehr hier Laserscanning Unterstützung geben kann, hat sich im aktuellen Projekt der seit 2005 währenden Zusammenarbeit von Dombauhütte und RIEGL gezeigt.

    Nikolaus Studnicka, RIEGL Business Division Manager Terrestrisches Laserscanning, hat in den letzten beiden Jahren umfangreiche Vermessungsarbeiten am und im Stephansdom durchgeführt. An nur vier Scantagen wurden Mess- und Bilddaten von etwas mehr als einem Terrabyte aufgenommen, die nun die Arbeit von Dombauamt und Dombauhütte wesentlich unterstützen.

    Im RiCAST erfahren Sie mehr über den Alltag eines Dombau-Archivars, über ganz spezielle Aufgabenstellungen rund um die Erhaltung und Revitalisierung eines solch bedeutenden Kulturjuwels und wie mittels Laserscanning eben diese Arbeit unterstützt werden kann.

    Wir sind wirklich stolz, dass RIEGL so wirkungsvoll dazu beitragen kann, den Stephansdom zu dokumentieren und die Daten zu liefern, die es ermöglichen ein solch gigantisches Stück Kulturerbe zu visualisieren!
