Grillparzer monument, Memorial statue in Volksgarten, Austria.
The Franz Grillparzer Monument features a central seated figure holding a book, surrounded by six relief panels depicting theatrical scenes.
The monument, created by sculptors Carl Kundmann and Rudolf Weyr, opened on May 23, 1889, after delays in marble mining and design decisions.
The monument includes reliefs illustrating scenes from Grillparzer's plays Sappho, Die Ahnfrau, and Medea, reflecting Austrian theatrical heritage.
Visitors can find the monument at the far end of Volksgarten, opposite to Burgtheater, where it stands near a rose garden.
The monument underwent complete restoration in 2021, ensuring the preservation of its marble structure and detailed theatrical relief panels.
