Carl Kundmann

After six years, he went to Dresden to study with Ernst Julius Hähnel, who had a major influence on his style.

[1] From 1865 to 1867 he lived in Rome, where he worked on designs for a Schubert Monument to be placed in the Stadtpark which had been commissioned by the Vienna Men's Choral Society and financed by Nikolaus Dumba, an industrialist patron of the arts.

Mayor Andreas Zelinka wanted it to be placed in a prominent position but, in 1868, the Artistic Advisory Board prevailed, selecting a more "intimate" location between trees on the edge of the lawn.

The foundation was laid that same year and the monument (with three reliefs by Theophil Hansen) was unveiled in 1872.

He also worked on memorials to Franz Grillparzer and Wilhelm von Tegetthoff, as well as sculptures for the City hall, the new wing of the Hofburg Palace and the arcades of the University of Vienna.
