Denkmal der Roten Armee

Monument to the Red Army

Monument to the Russian Soldier


Must See

Address:
Schwarzenbergplatz
Vienna, Wien 1010

Description

At the southern end of Schwarzenbergplatz lies the Russian Heroes' Monument, a "gift" from the Russian people commemorating the liberators of Vienna. Under the terms of the State Treaty of 1955, the Austrians committed themselves to paying for the upkeep of this highly controversial monument. The soldier's gilt shield glistens in the midday sun, occasionally (and deliberately) obscured by the jets of water from the Hochstrahlbrunnen, a fountain commemorating the installation of the city's main water system in 1873.
