Tegetthoffdenkmal, Vienna - Praterstern P

Der Hinweis auf die siegreiche Schlacht bei Lissa (heutiges Gebiet in Kroatien) unter Tegetthoff mit einer schlechter als die Italiener ausgerüsteten Flotte befindet sich am Denkmal

海军上将特格豪夫 他的功绩表现在和意大利交锋的Lissa战役中。1866年4月意大利在普鲁士的支持下向奥地利宣战，当年6月两军在Gostoyya陆战同时在Lissa展开海战。意大利有34艘战船参加战斗，奥方只有27艘，在敌强我弱的形势下奥地利海军在特格豪夫的指挥下取得辉煌战绩。 特格豪夫的纪念碑于Lissa战役后20年建成，纪念碑中特格豪夫的雕像高高立在如战船桅杆的立柱上，远远望去如同一个大衣架，维也纳人对这个设计并不太赞赏，戏称之为“衣架”。

Currently (late 2017) undergoing restoration.

Very impressive

Austria just won a sea battle in the 19tj. Century, but boy, they know how to celebrate!

Good view

The one and only Austrian Sea Lord of all times: Admiral Tegetthoff. For a short time, the Austro-Hungarian empire had access to the Mediterranean via Trieste. The imperial fleet fought a battle or two and got sunk pretty soon. All that is left of it is this monument standing in a sea of traffic. Quite funny, come to think of it.

The Tegetthoff monument in Vienna was designed by Carl Kundmann (statue) and Carl von Hasenauer (architecture) and is reminiscent of Wilhelm von Tegetthoff , Vice Admiral and commander of the Austrian and Austro-Hungarian Navy in the 1860s. It is unveiled on September 21, 1886, on the Praterstern at the end of the Praterstrasse in the 2nd district of Vienna, Leopoldstadt , on one of the most important traffic junctions of the city of Vienna. On an approximately 5 m high, surrounded by fighting horses pedestal is a 11 m high marble column, decorated with an anchor and laterally with three bronze ship's beaks. On the pillar, the 3.5 m high, bronze statue of the Admiral attached. Planning for the monument had begun in Tegetthoff's death year in 1871, but no agreement was reached on the location for a long time. In 1872, a competition was announced in which the Swiss sculptor Ferdinand Schlöth was awarded first prize. However, this design encountered resistance and was ultimately not realized. The location that was ultimately chosen guaranteed the maximum pedestrian frequency thanks to the neighboring Nordbahnhof , the then most important railway station in Vienna, and the nearby Wurstelprater, the city's large amusement park. The monument was 20 years after Tegetthoff great success, winning the Battle of Lissa, in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph I. unveiled. From 2016 to 2018, the monument was restored, the budget for it was 897,000 euros.
