Title... Heiligenstadt: the statue by Hänlein

Heiligenstadt, prevoiusly on the outskirts of Vienna, is now one of the capital's districts.

Beethoven visited the area frequently, and it was there that he wrote the famous Heiligenstadt Testement in 1802.

The statue is situated in Heiligenstadt Park. It was sculpted in marble by Fritz Hänlein following a model by Robert Weigl.

It was erected by the Association of male choirs of Vienna, and was inaugurated on November 28th 1910.

Recently the statue has lost its cane, and is in need of a good cleaning...
