To the left of this photograph (taken in the early 1950s) stands a monument to the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The statue was created in 1896 and positioned in front of the Albertina Palace – the building on the right. Behind the photographer is the Café Mozart. The statue suffered bomb damage during World War 2 and, following repairs, was relocated to Burggarten Park – 10 minutes walk away.

The same view in January 2017. As mentioned above, the statue has been moved to another location. This will appear in a future posting.
