I liked the Liebenberg-Denkmal monument in Vienna. The structure brightened up an otherwise ordinary urban landscape.

This monument stands in tribute to Johann Andreas von Liebenberg, an Austrian politician and Mayor of Vienna in 1680, supervising the defensive preparations during the Ottoman Invasion. The monument is in the shape of an obelisk on a stepped pedestal. The obelisk is topped with a gilded figure of Victoria. Around the pedestal are bronze sculptures of a life-sized lion, lying down with one paw over the broken sword and shield of an Ottoman infantry, and two bronze cherubs hold a gilt Liebenberg portrait medallion. On the steps at the back is a bronze cartouche with the double-headed eagle. An elaborate and good looking monument.
An impressive late 19th century monument to see in Vienna is that of the Johann Andreas von Liebenberg just across from Wien University, adjacent to Rathausplatz. The monument is the work of Austrian architect Franz Neumann. Here you will see a decorative monument featuring a 9 metre high obelisk topped by a gilded figure of the goddess of victory. At the foot of the obelisk is a portrait medallion of Liebenberg, the Mayor of Vienna from 1680-1683. On the opposite side is an impressive double-headed eagle, which is the Hapsburg emblem. There is also a life-sized bronze lion in a seated position at the foot of the monument pedestal. Cherubs and other decor adorn this monument as well. In the end, this is one of the more impressive monuments in the city, worth seeking out if you are monument viewing and plan to spend time in this area of Vienna.
When passing by this imposing monunent some people may ask themselves what is this for ? Well, Johann Andreas von Liebenberg was once mayor of Vienna in the 1680s during some really hard times. He not only flighted against the Bubonic Plague, much more he is recognized for his organization of civil service during the Second Turkish siege in 1683.
Very good food and service by all staff.it was nice sitting out in the shade. Dessert was tremendous.
