This monument stands in tribute to Ludwig von Beethoven, The monument is a bronze sculptural group with Beethoven at it’s centre. The sculptural group all sit on a stepped pedestal. At the bottom are 9 youths, an allusion to the 9 symphonies composed by Beethoven. Flanking the pedestal are Prometheus and Nike, an allegorical reference to the deliverance and victory of the music of Beethoven. Finally, atop the pedestal is a stereotypical image of Beethoven with his famously curled hair and moody look. A fine monument to a fine composer. Sadly, the monument is off the main tourist circuit, but it’s worth a look if you’re in the area.

nice oasis in the middle of a concrete city. This part of town needs more small resting places. Especially in the summer, because the Lothringerstraße is such a dry, treeless patch in the middle of beautiful Vienna! This park saved me many times as I visited the Austrian Motor Club around the corner, because Beethoven and trees. Nice! Thanks!

This committee wrote a competition on 5 May 1873 and invited the sculptors Carl Kundmann , Anton Paul Wagner , John Benk and Caspar von Zumbusch.
