    This monument stands in tribute to Johannes Gutenberg, the man credited with inventing the printing press. The monument is a bronze sculpture of Gutenberg wearing a gown and depicted with a huge beard. To his right is a printing press, which he is leaning on with his right hand. Not an amazing sculpture, but worth a look at a monument of someone who changed the course of human history.

    The statue of Johannes Gutenberg is located at the Lugeck and Backerstrasse intersection in front of the attractive Regensburger Hof building, approx. 5 minutes walk northeast of Stephansplatz. The bronze statue is the work of Austrian sculptor Hans Bitterlich in 1900. Here the 15th-century goldsmith and inventor is bearded with hat and overcoat, standing and peering downward. Gutenberg is positioned atop a pedestal with reliefs carved into each side. In the end, it is a decent statue and worth viewing if you are in the area and enjoying seeing historical monuments and statues like this one of Johannes Gutenberg.

    I recently visited the Johannes Gutenberg Monument in Vienna and was thoroughly impressed by the impressive statue and the historical significance it represents. The monument stands tall and proud in the center of the city, reminding visitors of the important contributions that Gutenberg made to the world of printing and communication. The statue itself is a work of art, with intricate details and a commanding presence. It is clear that a great deal of care and attention went into its creation, and it truly captures the spirit and legacy of Gutenberg. In addition to the statue, the surrounding area is also well-maintained and provides a peaceful, contemplative space for visitors to learn more about Gutenberg and his impact on the world. There are also several informational plaques and displays that provide more context and background on the monument and its subject. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the Johannes Gutenberg Monument in Vienna. It is a beautiful and thought-provoking tribute to a pioneer of the printing industry, and a must-see for anyone interested in history or the arts

    (Translated by Google) Without being a square that takes away the meaning .. what surrounds it if it is remarkable ... cafes, shops ... it's fine ... Vienna has many statues and squares ... this is one of them, without much to highlight the same... (Original) Sin ser una plaza que quite el sentido..lo que la rodea si es reseñable...cafés ,tiendas..está bien...Viena tiene muchas estatuas y plazas...esta es una de ellas , sin mucho que resaltar d la misma...

    (Translated by Google) First I buy an ice cream with my friends at the Zannoni on the Rotenturmstr. Then around the right corner: there is the great monument of Johannes von Gutenberg! There are benches to sit comfortably! Gutenberg invented the book printing and printed the new German Bible! He was earning a lot of money with that. Martin Luther as a monk did not take any money! Read a Psalm of King David from the Bible! (Original) Zuerst kaufe ich mit meinen Freunden ein Eis beim Zannoni an der Rotenturmstr. Dann um die rechte Ecke: dort ist das große Denkmal von Johannes von Gutenberg! Dort sind Bänke bequem zum Sitzen! Gutenberg erfand den Buchdruck und druckte die neue deutsche Bibel! Damit verdiente er sehr viel Geld, da Dr. Martin Luther als Mönch kein Geld nahm! Lesen sie aus der Bibel einen Psalm von König David!

    A Phenomenal Tribute to the Father of the Printing Press The lovely Johannes Gutenberg Monument is located near to the Embassy of Chile and St Stephan's Cathedral, and pays tribute to the impact of Gutenberg's introduction of moveable type to Europe. The revolutionary machine produced the Gutenberg Bible--the first important book to be mass-produced--and was central to the spread of scientific information, the development of the Reformation, the opening of the Renaissance, and the opportunity for regular people to learn.

    The monument to the German pioneer Johannes Gutenberg stands on Luhek Square. Behind him is a house with the largest picture window in Vienna, in which there is a restaurant of the same name serving Austrian cuisine. The building also houses the Wüstenroth insurance company. The original architectural design of the building is noteworthy, in which a large showcase attracts attention - previously there was one of the largest Viennese department stores here.

    This is located in the city center. There is a few monuments and statues around as well. No apparent construction around this statue as well. The foot traffic is light. I recommend walking or biking vice Uber due to the traffic and the location of the statue.
