Almost ten years will pass from the idea to the creation of a monument to Schubert to its implementation (1872). But, it is worth noting that in 1862, the Vienna Society of Male Chants took the initiative to honor the memory of the great composer with paid concerts, and put the proceeds to the monument. Everything would be fine if most of the money had not been spent on new fun nights and folk concerts. But this initiative inspired other singing clubs to also take part in financing. Two years later (1864) after heavy chants, it was clear that the monument should be placed in the city park, but where? The male singing club advocated for the only high point of the city park (later called Zelinkahgegel), but the place was found in accordance with the park architecture. Then another question arose: Schubert without glasses! With a score and pen? But the artistic advisory committee of the city council found it original to place Schubert, under a linden tree (Linden), in a natural environment singing the character and spirit of the great composer. Closer to the people, with a look to the people, with the music of the people. “From green leafy thread,” said later, “the marble figure of Franz Schubert stands out for years.” Translated with Google Translate

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
