Mohr-Gruber-Denkmal, Memorial to composers in Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria.

The bronze sculpture depicts Joseph Mohr looking through a celestial window while Franz Gruber plays guitar in the background of the memorial.

The monument, unveiled in 1928, commemorates the creators of Silent Night, which they first performed at Saint Nicholas Church in 1818.

The inscription on the memorial acknowledges priest Joseph Mohr as lyricist and teacher Franz Gruber as composer of the Christmas carol.

Visitors can find the memorial in front of the parish church, with information plaques available in German and English for reference.

The original design focused solely on Joseph Mohr until 1926, when sculptor Josef Mühlbacher revised it to include both composers.
