Goethe monument, Vienna, Bronze memorial statue in Burggarten, Austria
The bronze figure of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe sits in a thoughtful pose on a stone pedestal surrounded by garden landscaping at Burggarten.
Emperor Franz Joseph inaugurated the memorial statue on December 15, 1900, following a twenty-year fundraising campaign by the Vienna Goethe Association.
The monument includes stone reliefs depicting themes from Goethe's literary works, representing German literature's influence on Viennese intellectual life.
The memorial statue stands between tram stops Burgring and Oper/Karlsplatz, with direct access from Karlsplatz subway station through paved pathways.
The statue forms a literary connection with Friedrich Schiller's monument, positioned 180 meters away, reflecting both writers' relationship during their lifetimes.
