In memory of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, who was assassinated in 1898, a monument was unveiled on June 4, 1907, in Vienna’s Volksgarten. The construction of this memorial site was initiated by a committee under the patronage of Archduke Otto of Austria and his wife Maria Josepha of Saxony. Emperor Franz Joseph I and the entire imperial court were present to pay tribute once more to the beloved Empress.
