Liberation Monument (Soldiers of the Red Army) Memorial in memory of the approximately 18,000 Red Army soldiers who fell in battle during the liberation of Vienna. The Liberation Monument (also known as the Monument in Honor of the Soldiers of the Soviet Army), popularly known as the Russian Monument on 3rd Schwarzenbergplatz, stands on the part of the square that was called Stalinplatz from April 1946 to July 1956. The Heroes' Monument to the Unknown Russian Soldier, erected on the Red Army's orders to commemorate the liberation of Vienna, on whose 20-meter-high base stands the twelve-meter-high statue of a Red Guard with a flag in his hand, stands against the backdrop of an eight-meter-high balustrade, at each end of which a group of two fighters was attached. The monument was erected exactly on the main axis of the square, so that it can be easily seen from the Ringstrasse. The design was by Major C. G. Jakowlew, the sculptures were created by Lieutenant M. A. Intisarjan, the overall management was carried out by Major Engineer M. S. Schönfeld; assembly was carried out by Ernst Hawlik (Vienna 3). The monument bears the following inscription (in Russian): Eternal glory to the heroes of the Red Army who fell in battle against the German fascist robbers of the freedom and independence of the peoples of Europe. In front of the central column with the statue, a tilted metal cube was erected in the late 1970s (according to POREM 1986), on which one can read in German and Russian: Monument in honor of the soldiers of the Soviet Army who fell for the liberation of Austria from fascism. April 1945. Creator of the monument: sculptor M. A. Intesarjan, architect S. G. Jakowlew. The monument was inaugurated on August 19, 1945." The monument was prepared by the Red Army before the capture of Vienna and was ceremoniously unveiled on August 19, 1945, when the Soviet forces still occupied Vienna alone (see also Allied Occupation). The 3rd district came under the administration of the British Army on September 1, 1945. The monument was therefore not in the Soviet sector; however, the 4th district, which was occupied by the Soviets until 1955, is immediately adjacent to the monument.

Nice place to jump into the water, well paved, but very narrow in places. Drive carefully!

nice to drive, - luckily the weather wasn't so good, so we got through.

Bombastic memorial for the liberation from Nazi rule. Reminiscent of monuments in the East. The fountain is particularly beautiful in the morning, when the sunlight creates a rainbow 🌈 in the water.

Always interesting to come by here. The house in the middle of the forest, a meadow to romp around and lots of benches to rest. And of course, off to the Roan Trail, which starts right here.
