before 1873 | Heinrich von Siebold
Many materials such as sisal and palm fibres were exhibited at the World’s Fair in Vienna. Types of rope of the palm tree chamaerops excelsa were also displayed. Seeds of this tree were introduced into Europe in 1830 by Philipp Franz von Siebold. These new types were of interest as building material, replacing the increased demand for hemp rope for the largescale architectural projects around the Ring Road.
