A monument to Johann Gutenberg, the inventor of printing, is located in the center of Vienna, near St. Stephen's Cathedral. Johann Gutenberg, a master from Mainz, Germany, in 1440 invented a way to print books, typing from cast forms - letters. This invention led to revolutionary changes in European culture, and Gutenberg's name became a symbol of progress. Monuments to Johann Gutenberg have been erected in various cities in Germany and Austria. In Vienna, the monument to the master was unveiled in 1897. The authors are sculptor Hans Bitterlich and architect Max Fabiani. Medieval lithography depicting Gutenberg served as a model for the sculpture.
