Interesting property about 2019( the current year)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

2019 is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of three squares of prime numbers in six distinct ways. The representations include combinations such as $7^2 + 11^2 + 43^2$ and $11^2 + 23^2 + 37^2$. Additionally, 2019 is noted for its unique property of being unremarkable in other mathematical contexts. The number also has a connection to the Lizumer Hut, located at 2019 meters above sea level in Tyrol, Austria.

PREREQUISITES

2019 is the smallest number that can be expressed as sum of 3 squares of prime number in 6 different ways

2019 = $7^2+11^2+43^2$
= $7^2 + 17^2 + 41^2$
= $13^2+13^2 + 41^2$
= $11^2+23^2+37^2$
= $17^2 + 19^2 + 37^2$
=$ 23^2+23^2+31^2$

The Lizumer Hut is an alpine mountain refuge hut located in the Austrian state of Tyrol at 2 019 metres above sea level.
 
I tried to find another interesting mathematical property of 2019... and failed to find one.
If anything, it seems to be special in how uninteresting it is.

Oh, and Happy New Year! (Handshake)
 
2019, 4038 (2019*2) and 6057 (2019*3) together
contain all the 10 digits...
