Hesserdenkmal, Military monument in Neubau district, Vienna, Austria
The Hesserdenkmal features a 16-meter obelisk crowned with a bronze replica of the Austrian imperial crown, located between Gürtel lanes in Emil-Maurer-Park.
The monument commemorates the battle of May 13, 1809, when the k.k. Niederösterreichisches Infantry Regiment fought against Napoleon's forces at Schwarzlackenau.
Two sculptural groups at the base depict soldiers with a regimental flag and a wounded companion, while the reverse shows a lion over military trophies.
The monument stands near Westbahnhof station in Vienna, making it easily accessible by public transportation and walking distance from central tourist areas.
The lion sculpture on the reverse side was modeled after a real lion from the Tiergarten Schönbrunn zoo, connecting nature with military symbolism.
