Liebenberg monument, Vienna, Protected monument at Mölker Bastei, Vienna, Austria.
Liebenberg monument is a granite obelisk with bronze figures at Mölker Bastei, including a lion placing its paw on an Ottoman shield. The design merges classical sculptural elements with military symbols that tell a story of defense and victory.
The monument honors Johann Andreas von Liebenberg, who led Vienna during the Ottoman siege of 1683. It was dedicated in 1890 at a location of strategic importance to the city's past.
The sculptures represent how the city honors those who led during threats to its survival. The symbolic figures and military imagery reflect a shared memory of defending the community.
The monument is accessible year-round and sits near the University of Vienna in a central location. Surrounding pathways are designed to be barrier-free, making it easy to approach from different directions.
The obelisk is carved from Swedish granite, creating a stone connection to a nation that provided military support during that era. This material choice quietly acknowledges international solidarity in a moment of crisis.
