Monument to Johann Strauss II, Gold-plated bronze monument in Stadtpark, Vienna, Austria

The Johann Strauss II monument features a standing figure playing the violin, centered in front of a marble arch with decorative leaves.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra performed The Blue Danube at the monument's inauguration ceremony on June 26, 1921, following World War I delays.

This memorial represents Johann Strauss II's musical influence through his compositions, including Die Fledermaus and numerous Viennese waltzes.

The monument stands near the Stadtpark metro station on line U4, making it easily accessible for visitors exploring central Vienna.

The bronze statue received gold plating on its exterior surface, creating a metallic contrast that catches sunlight throughout different times of day.
