Monument to Burgomaster Liebenberg

Monument to the Burgomaster of Vienna
Austria, Vienna
The monument is located in the center of the Austrian capital, opposite the famous Vienna University, and is a marble column with a bronze lion at the foot, which is crowned with a golden statue of the goddess of victory Nike. A portrait of Johann Andreas von Liebenberg, mayor of Vienna, is crowned with a gold medallion. In 1683, thanks to his efforts, the city survived a two-month Turkish siege. At the same time, the mayor himself died two days before the victory. The monument was erected on the ruins of the fortress wall on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the lifting of the siege. On the back of the monument there is a plaque with the inscription: "To the courageous and steadfast head from grateful Vienna." During the Second World War, the monument was damaged by bombing, but by the end of 1949 it was completely restored.

Monument to Mayor Liebenberg
Johann Andreas von Liebenberg was mayor of Vienna during the second Turkish invasion in 1683. He headed the defense of the city, personally supervised the construction of fortifications and the creation of defenders' wives. In front of the monument lies a lion, his paw resting on a Turkish shield. In the medallion is a gilded waist-length portrait of the mayor, framed by a laurel wreath held by two angels. A gilded goddess of victory with a laurel wreath in her hand stands on top of a nine-meter obelisk.→
