Denkmal der Republik

The Republic Monument in Vienna commemorates the proclamation of the Republic of German-Austria on November 12, 1918. It stands on Dr.-Karl-Renner-Ring between the Parliament Building and the Palais Epstein. The memorial consists of three granite blocks topped with busts of the Social Democrats Jakob Reumann, Victor Adler, and Ferdinand Hanusch. An engraved inscription honors the founding of the republic. Originally unveiled in 1928 under Mayor Karl Seitz, the monument was dismantled in 1934 under the Austrofascist regime and rebuilt in 1948. You can view the monumental design and the historical figures in the area around Grete-Rehor-Park.
