Whenever I start a new project, I am surprised to see how much new information I myself can pick up by working on it. I don't remember how many times I've been standing in front of the Castle, looking at the memorial of Prince Eugen, without knowing whom it honoured. But even if it is very logical, I didn't know that the memorials of many other composers are to be found in the Stadtpark, as those of Stolz, Lehar, Bruckner and Schubert. In the vicinity of the Castle you can find Emperors and Men of War, whereas City Mayors and Presidents are presented in the Rathauspark in front of the Courthouse.
Time does of course take influence on our cultural inheritance.
General Radetzky stands today in front of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. Below you can see a small, very personal selection of memorials in Vienna - nevertheless I do hope, that they may please you. Click on a thumbnail to see the full picture.
