Deutschmeister-Denkmal

The Deutschmeister-Denkmal is a bronze monument in Vienna's city center featuring a flag bearer standing on a decorated pylon. The structure includes relief carvings depicting military scenes and inscriptions that tell the story of the regiment it honors.

The monument was erected in 1906 to mark the 200th anniversary of the Hoch- and Deutschmeister Regiment, originally formed in 1695. A bronze wreath was added in 1931 to honor soldiers who died during World War I.

The monument displays relief carvings showing military scenes and allegorical figures that reflect Vienna's military heritage. These carved details give visitors a sense of how important this regiment was to the city's history.

The monument is located at the intersection of Universitätsring and Maria-Theresien-Straße in the old city center. It is easily reached on foot and sits near other historic sites and public transport options.

The flag bearer was modeled after actual soldiers from the regiment rather than as an idealized figure. This gave the monument a personal quality that set it apart from other military memorials in the city.
