This monument stands in tribute to Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg, an Austrian field marshal who commanded with distinction during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. The monument is a bronze equestrian statue of the prince. The prince is depicted in military uniform with a cloak over his uniform. Worth a look if you have time.

Karl Philipp Schwarzenberg herceg Ausztria legtehetségesebb katonai parancsnoka volt. Hadi érdemei mellett kiváló diplomáciai érzékéről volt híres. Nélküle nem jött volna létre a Napóleon elleni szövetség a lipcsei "Népek csatájára". Karrierjét még a török háborúkban kezdte hadnagyként, Párizsba már generalisszimuszként vonult be. Szobrának avatásán maga Ferenc József császár is részt vett 1867-ben.

In memory of the marshal who fought bravely for the glory of Kaiserthum Oesterreich in 18th century Europe. He fought, among others, at Ulm, at Hohenlinden, at Wagram, and in the siege of the Šabac fortress, his life was saved by Prince Józef Poniatowski, the future Polish general. They both also fought in the Battle of the Nations in 1813 near Leipzig, in which Poniatowski fell and Schwarzenberg became the great winner of the domination and power of the defeated Napoleon.

A great monument that is centrally located on the square

Nice monument to the field marshal

The monument is dedicated to Karl Philipp, Prince Schwarzenberg, a field marshal who played an important role in the history of Austria.

(Translated by Google) The statue is Field Marshal Schwarzenberg. On October 16, 1813, the Battle of Leipzig, known as the "Battle of Nations", began. On that day, the sky was drizzling with cold drizzle, and the ground was covered with dense smoke. Under the cover of artillery fire, the coalition forces of Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Sweden launched a fierce offensive against the French army in Leipzig. The battle was commanded by the Austrian Field Marshal Schwarzenberg. After three fierce battles, the coalition forces won a brilliant victory. The defeated French emperor Napoleon has since lost his capital for hegemony in Europe and was forced to abdicate six months later. 54 years after the Battle of Leipzig (1892), Field Marshal Schwarzenberg's heroic figure stood upright on the Black Mountain Square in Vienna. (Original) 雕像是陆军元帅施瓦岑贝格， 1８１３年１０月１６日，史称"民族会战"的莱比锡战役开始。当天，天空下着寒冷的细雨，地上罩着浓密的烟雾，由奥地利、普鲁士、俄国和瑞典组成的联军在炮火的掩护下，对莱比锡城内的法国军队展开凌厉的攻势。这场战役由奥地利的陆军元帅施瓦岑贝格任总指挥。经过3天地激烈战斗，联军取得辉煌胜利。战败的法国皇帝拿破仑从此失去了在欧洲争霸的资本，半年后被迫退位。 莱比锡战役后的54年(1892年)，陆军元帅施瓦岑贝格英姿勃勃的身影挺立在维也纳黑山广场上。

(Translated by Google) Field Marshal Schwarzenberg commanded the coalition forces in the decisive battle of Leipzig. If one deals with his vita, one can say that he led a life marked by wars. First against Napoleon, then negotiating with Napoleon in terms of marriage, with Napoleon against Russia and finally victorious against him. After he had retired to his estates, he was no longer life long. How many dead he may have seen in all the battles? The epoch is fortunately over - I hope forever. (Original) Feldmarschall Schwarzenberg befehligte die Koalitionstruppen in der entscheidenden Schlacht bei Leipzig. Beschäftigt man mit seiner Vita so kann man feststellen, dass er ein von Kriegen geprägtes Leben geführt hat. Zunächst gegen Napoleon, dann mit Napoleon in Sachen Eheschließung verhandelnd, mit Napoleon gegen Russland ziehend und schließlich siegreich gegen ihn. Nachdem er sich auf seine Güter zurückgezogen hatte, war ihn kein langes Leben mehr beschieden. Wieviele Tote er wohl in all den Schlachten gesehen haben mag? Die Epoche ist zum Glück überwunden - ich hoffe für immer.

Beautiful

🍃🍃At the Schwarzenberg Monument in Montenegro Square in Vienna at night, looking at the heroic figure of the general on horseback, with the Monument to the Red Army Heroes behind him, it seems a bit ironic🍃🍃
