Austrian culture has suffered a significant loss: Willibald "Willi" Kranister, a respected member of the directorate of the Austrian National Bank and undoubtedly a formative figure in the domestic art scene, died on February 23, 2025 at the age of 92. Kranister, who published a standard work on the history of the Austrian currency with his book "Die Gelden - From the Gulden to Schilling" from 1985, was also active after retirement and was involved in various cultural projects. He created and promoted rooms for art and culture, including the well-known Thorn Beauty House in Leopoldstrasse, where numerous vernissages and readings took place, as if the News .

Kranister's actions and initiatives have not only given artists in Austria, but also international projects for the needy, such as AIDS orphans in Namibia. His commitment beyond the limits of art and his humanistic approach will make him unforgettable. The funeral service for Kranister will take place on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at 1 p.m. at the upper city cemetery, where friends, family and companions come together to honor him.
