Heiligenstadt, prevoiusly on the outskirts
of Vienna, is now one of the capital's districts.
Beethoven visited the area frequently, and
it was there that he wrote the famous Heiligenstadt
Testement in 1802.
The statue is situated in Heiligenstadt Park.
It was sculpted in marble by Fritz Hänlein
following a model by Robert Weigl.
It was erected by the Association of male
choirs of Vienna, and was inaugurated on November
28th 1910.
Recently the statue has lost its cane, and
is in need of a good cleaning... |
