Andreas Hofer monument
Andreas Hofer monument, Bronze monument at Bergisel, Austria
The bronze statue depicts Andreas Hofer standing with a flag, accompanied by two eagles on a porphyry base weighing ten tons.
The monument commemorates the leader of the Tyrolean Rebellion against Napoleon, with Emperor Franz Joseph I attending its inauguration in September 1893.
The statue represents Tyrolean determination through Hofer's commanding posture, broad hat, and the inscription For God, Emperor, and Fatherland on its base.
Visitors can reach the monument at coordinates 47.2504805, 11.4006827, near the Kaiserjäger Museum and Tirol Panorama on Bergisel hill.
In 1961, the statue broke at the ankles after an explosion, but craftsmen from Glockengießerei Graßmayr restored it within three months.
