Schwarzenegger in Graz
The “Terminator” paid tribute to his “Superman”
During his extended visit home, superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger not only had a bust of his late friend - and former Styrian governor - Josef Krainer in his luggage, but also took a few mementos home with him.
"Governor Josef Krainer was a good politician, but he was even better as a servant. He was the best servant of the people!" When Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about his friend who died in 2016, he is not sparing with his words of praise. After all, the Styrian governor, who was in office from 1980 to 1996, inspired him to go into politics. "He held consultation days and was an inspiration. The people of Styria came to him with requests, complaints and praise, he knew everyone by name."
So the bust that the "Terminator" unveiled during his visit to Graz was more than worthy. "Joschi Krainer was my friend, he was a Superman. The bust should also be an inspiration for future generations." And the current provincial governor Christopher Drexler, who has chosen a very special place for the monument, is making sure of that: "The bust will stand in the castle garden, near an oak tree planted in Arnold's honor."
"I'll be back!"
As a small thank you, Drexler also presented an Arzberger Stollenkäse cheese and a Rosegger jacket so that Arnie would return suitably dressed and well fortified for his next visit. Because he left no doubt about one thing: "I'll be back!"
