    Goethe Monument (1, Opernring, between Palais Friedrich Schey von Koromla [Opernring 10] and Burggarten at the end of Goethegasse).

    Edmund Hellmer emerged as the winner of a competition announced in 1890 (in which Carl Kundmann and Viktor Tilgner also took part). The model of the monument to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was completed in 1895 and unveiled on December 15, 1900.

    The poet is depicted sitting in a magnificent chair, which stands (on a three-tiered pedestal) on a base that curves outwards at the front. The Goethe Monument was built at the expense of the Vienna Goethe Society.
    Translated by
    The memorial is located in the 1st district of Vienna on the Opernring. A visit can be wonderfully combined with a visit to the Vienna State Opera and the numerous other sights along the world-famous Ringstrasse.
    Translated by
    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 – 1832) is still considered one of the most important writers in the German-speaking world. He was not only a poet, but also a theater manager, scientist and even a statesman.
