The thesis discusses the most importants works of sculpture in Vienna in the 3rd quarter of the 14th century, sculpture of the "Herzogswerkstatt" in the St. Stephan's cathedral, whose commission and conception is related with the Austrian dukes Rudolf IV. (1358-1365) and Albrecht III. (1349-1395). It concerns the sculpture of the so called "Fürstenportale", two gisants on the Cenotaf of Rudolf IV. and three sovereign couples in the exterior of the church. A crucial section of the thesis is the analysis of Duke's portals. Beside questions concerning original localisation, iconography and function of the portals, the aim is to point out the genesis of the style. The last two chapters deal with Rudolf's cenotaf and sovereign couples. In contrary to recents theses of the scolars Schmidt and Schwarz I find the stylistic origins of Vienna's sculpture in the Middle-European art - the most important influence constitutes parlerian sculpture of South Germany and Prague. The main part of this group was finished during Albrecht III. reign.
