The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Inner City
In Vienna's best-known district, pedestrian boulevards Kärntner Strasse and Graben connect you with landmarks such as the Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera), Vienna’s iconic Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral) and the vast compound of Hofburg, the Habsburgs’ former Imperial Palace. Peek down side streets such as Annagasse and Weihburggasse, and Graben’s Seilergasse and Habsburggasse, to get a feel for the centre. The Imperial Apartments and the refreshingly demystifying Sissi Museum are must-dos at Hofburg. Spacious squares such as Am Hof and Freyung often host beautiful seasonal and antiques markets.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This monument stands in tribute to Kaiser Franz Josef I, the Emperor of Imperial Austria, and king of Austro-Hungary. He was the longest reigning emperor of Austria, but sadly his reign foreshadowed the end of the illustrious House of Habsburg.
The monument is located in a fenced off area of Burggarten, so it was difficult to get a close up view. The monument is a bronze sculpture of the emperor wearing his Field Marshal uniform and carrying the Marshal's Baton. The emperor is looking down and sad. Perhaps alluding the many tragedies of his life where he had to live through the death of his brother, wife, son, and heir presumptive the Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

This statue stands just inside the ring road in the burggarten.
We may remember him for declaring war on Serbia following the assassination of his nephew, starting WW1.
But Franz Joseph I was also the emperor who ordered tearing down the old city wall and building the ring road.
It took till 1957 to get this stratus erected

One of the interesting monuments to see at Burggarten is the statue of Emperor Franz Joseph, ruler of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy between 1848-1916.
The original stone statue was made by Austrian sculptor Johannes Benk in 1904 the bronze version you see at Burggarten was the work of his student Josef Tuch in 1908.
Here you see Emperor Franz Joseph in military parade attire, overcoat and field hat, standing straight with head pointed slightly downward. The statue is upon a small and simple base which includes inscription.
Situated in front of a small area of shrub and trees, providing green background, it makes for a nice image of the emperor. It is an interesting statue, worth making time to see if you enjoy monument viewing during your travels.
