Places to visit in Vienna. Languages: ru, he, en

Anton Bruckner was born in Ansfelden, Upper Austria, in 1824 and died in Vienna in 1896. He was buried in a crypt in St. Florian's Abbey. Just three years after his death, a monument was unveiled in the city park. Victor Tilgner and Fritz Zerrich designed it. This monument, severely damaged by acts of vandalism, was restored, but then was moved to the garden of the University of Music. The current pedestal was made by the artist Stefan Kameitsky, the monument was returned to the city park in 1988. The base of Las marble simply replaces the original design and complicates the work of pests. In the city park, vandalism of monuments is, unfortunately, a common occurrence. It is said that the history of wrecking begins with right-wing elements whose Austrian ideals for the Austrians encouraged them to desecrate the monuments of all those who, in their opinion, were sick with liberalism, openness, and tolerance. But, ironically, modern vandalism has already become a tradition among just any rabble who are far from any views or ideals, except for simple hooliganism and banditry.

Vienna City Park

City park as a house book. As soon as the yellowed sheets are touched, the city will begin to dump its stories with enthusiasm. They will be written in calligraphic handwriting with classic curls, imitating the era, or chopped pen strokes, in accordance with the directives of the time. With crafty boasting, they will hoist glorious citizens on a pedestal or, like skeletons in a closet, hide their obscene acts in the shadow of distant alleys. His trees whisper past rumors, ponds keep silent secrets, and swarms of pigeons sweep dried leaves from the tracks like dust from a book cover. And the longer you stay in the park, the more you understand that time puts everything in its place, passions disappear and only heaven and silence patronize the living, contemplating the earthly vanity from above. Such a city park in Vienna. Translated with Google Translate
