Rheinbergerdenkmal

On the occasion of the 100th birthday of Josef Gabriel Rheinberger in 1939, a competition was held to create a monument to the composer. A project by Franz Marcel Fischer was selected as the winning project, which was finally erected in front of the Rheinbergerhaus in 1940.

The monument consists of a cast bronze bust, which depicts Josef Gabriel Rheinberger in realistic features. To the left of it is a relief of a lyre – symbol of music – and to the right is an engraved inscription tablet.
