A statue of an antisemitic politician who is said to have inspired Adolf Hitler is to be tilted 3.5 degrees to the right
The monument to Karl Lueger, situated in Dr. Karl Lueger Platz in the center of Vienna, has long been a subject of fierce debate in the Austrian capital. Lueger, who was elected mayor of the Austrian capital in 1897 and governed the city until his death in 1910, is known to have exploited anti-Jewish feeling in his bid for office, emphasizing Christian and Germanic supremacy.
He said the effect would be reminiscent of a “sinking ship” and “evokes the feeling of transience and impermanence, as if one had to watch the monument about to topple over or at least expect that it won’t stand for much longer.” It is not yet known when the change will be made to the monument, though they are expected to be at some point in 2024, a spokeswoman for the city council told CNN in an email. For some, however, the move does not go far enough.
