"AEIOU" dates back to Emperor Frederick III (1415 - 1493), who chose this acronym as a personal motto and used it on many stately buildings. The emperor himself gave it several interpretations:
|
in Latin: |
* Austriae Est Imperare Orbi Universo =
Austria rules the world. |
|
* Austria Erit In Orbe Ultima =
Austria will last forever. |
in German: |
* Alles Erdreich Ist Österreich Untertan =
All the world is subject to the house of Austria.
