Bronze statue of Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Vienna, Austria

---

Vienna honours the memory of the greatest figure in German literature with, for example, a road named after him. One end of Goethegasse sits just below the Albertina art museum in the old town. The other end has a seated bronze Goethe in his 50s. According to newspaper reports of the time, Emperor Franz Joseph himself unveiled the Goethe monument on December 15th, 1900. Busy days for the monarch, since he did the same for the Gutenberg monument just two days later.
