This monument stands in tribute to Kaiser Franz Josef I, the Emperor of Imperial Austria, and king of Austro-Hungary. He was the longest reigning emperor of Austria, but sadly his reign foreshadowed the end of the illustrious House of Habsburg. The monument is located in a fenced off area of Burggarten, so it was difficult to get a close up view. The monument is a bronze sculpture of the emperor wearing his Field Marshal uniform and carrying the Marshal's Baton. The emperor is looking down and sad. Perhaps alluding the many tragedies of his life where he had to live through the death of his brother, wife, son, and heir presumptive the Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

One of the interesting monuments to see at Burggarten is the statue of Emperor Franz Joseph, ruler of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy between 1848-1916. The original stone statue was made by Austrian sculptor Johannes Benk in 1904 the bronze version you see at Burggarten was the work of his student Josef Tuch in 1908. Here you see Emperor Franz Joseph in military parade attire, overcoat and field hat, standing straight with head pointed slightly downward. The statue is upon a small and simple base which includes inscription. Situated in front of a small area of shrub and trees, providing green background, it makes for a nice image of the emperor. It is an interesting statue, worth making time to see if you enjoy monument viewing during your travels.

The sculptor who worked on it depicted the emperor in such a stern image not by chance, because by his own admission, Franz Joseph was "the last monarch of the old school", he remained a soldier all his life, was far from arrogance and pomp and was famous for his conservatism and attention. to the label.

Правління Франца Йосипа затяглося на довгі 70 років, які стали цілою епохою для кожного з народів, що входили до складу великої імперії. Пам'ятник видатному державному діячеві виглядає досить скромно, що здається дивним, адже це пам'ятник великому імператору... У ньому немає ні краплі помпезності, а імператора зображено у військовій формі з шинеллю, накинутою на плечі, і тростиною в руках. Це точна копія виготовленої 1904 року скульптури художника Йоганна Бенка. Монумент, встановлений у Бурггартені, було створено 1957 року. Скульптор, що працював над ним, зобразив імператора в такому суворому образі не випадково, адже за власним зізнанням, Франц Йосип був "останнім монархом старої школи", він протягом усього життя залишався солдатом, був далеким від чванства і помпезності і славився своїм консерватизмом та увагою до етикету.

Statue

The only monument in Vienna to Emperor Franz Joseph I. He is the founder of the park. Located near the Mozart monument

Lonely Emperor.

Vienna is a city with a lot of greenery, cultural sights... There is a lot to see and experience. The Burggarten Park is dominated by the statue/sculpture of Kaiser Franz Joseph I, Emperor of Austria and King of Austria-Hungary. He was the emperor of Austria for the longest time, and he experienced many difficult moments, one of which was kills Franz Ferdinand in 1914 in Sarajevo, his predecessor...

A statue in the middle of the park where you can relax and gather strength for other sights. It would certainly be worth noting the state of the statue, as Franz Josef would need a bit of renovation.

The monument to Kaiser Franz Joseph is located in the beautiful park Burggarten Vienna. Especially on warm days, the area is full of people, many of whom sit on the well-mown grass in the park. It is not difficult to see the monument.

Quite nice, but not that special. There are definitely other statues on site that are a little more impressive or more beautiful to display.

Lookin' fresh

Eine schöne Statue an einem schönen Platz. Erinnert an alte Zeiten, die hoffentlich so nie wieder kommen.

W słoneczne, ciepłe dni park wypełniają tłumy. Kontrast kamiennego cesarza z żywymi ludzmi. Inspiruje.

(Translated by Google) A little in a recess in the Burggarten, not far from the Mozart monument, there is a statue of the founder of this magnificent park, Emperor Franz Joseph I. It should be noted that this is the only monument to this emperor in Vienna. The monument itself looks very modest, which at first glance seems surprising, because it is dedicated to the great emperor. Franz Joseph is depicted in military uniform with an overcoat thrown over his shoulders and a cane in his hands. The head of the emperor is lowered, which emphasizes his earthiness. This monument, erected in Burggartan in 1957, is an exact copy of a sculpture made in 1904 by artist Johann Behnck. The sculptor who worked on it did not depict the emperor in such a strict manner by chance, because, by his own admission, Franz Joseph was "the last monarch of the old school." He remained a soldier throughout his life, was far from swagger and pomposity and was famous for his conservatism and attention to etiquette. (Original) Немного в углублении в Бурггартен, недалеко от памятника Моцарту, стоит статуя основателю этого великолепного парка императора Франца Иосифа I. Следует отметить, что это единственный памятник этому императору в Вене. Сам монумент выглядит весьма скромно, что на первый взгляд кажется удивительным, ведь он посвящен великому императору. Франц Иосиф изображен в военной форме с шинелью, накинутой на плечи, и тростью в руках. Голова императора приспущена, что подчеркивает его приземленность. Этот памятник, установленный в Бурггартане в 1957 году, является точной копией изготовленной в 1904 году скульптуры художника Иоганна Бенка. Скульптор, трудившийся над ним, изобразил императора в столь строгом образе не случайно, ведь по собственному признанию, Франц Иосиф был "последним монархом старой школы". Он на протяжении всей жизни оставался солдатом, был далек от чванства и помпезности и славился своим консерватизмом и вниманием к этикету.
