    Tauferer Gate Tower, Glurns
    Glurns in the Vinschgau is not only the smallest town in the southern Alps, but also has a famous citizen: Paul Flora, who was born in Glurns on June 29, 1922 and became famous for his drawings and book illustrations. Paul Flora also worked for 25 years as a caricaturist for the weekly newspaper "Die Zeit" and created stage sets throughout the German-speaking world, such as those for "Amphitryon" (Kleist) in the Akademietheater in Vienna (1963) and for "The King Dies" (Ionesco) in the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg (1998).
