Tips

In Vienna there is a large number of statues of Johannes Nepomuk, which were erected in the course of the baroque expansion of the city in the 17th and 18th centuries. The statues were erected on creeks and rivers (e.g. on the Wien river, on the Als, on the Ottakringer creek, on the Liesing creek, on the old arms of the Danube) in order to secure protection from floods through the saint. Johannes Nepomuk chapels (line chapels) were built at the historic entrances to the city of Vienna on Linienwall. Thus, the people driving in and out of Vienna should have the opportunity to take part in Roman Catholic rites and to perform prayers.

Johannes Nepomuk, who was vicar general of the Prague diocese in the 14th century, was involved in the political conflict between Prague Archbishop Johann von Jenstein and Bohemian King Wenceslaus. King Wenceslaus had Johannes Nepomuk severely tortured on March 20, 1393 and finally thrown from Prague's Vltava Bridge.
