Memory of Georg Danzer: New Tafel on Brigitte-Floridsdorfer Steg

Memory of Georg Danzer: New Tafel on Brigitte-Floridsdorfer Steg

In a worthy act of memory, the district leader of Brigittenau, Christine Dubravac-Widholm, and the district leader of Floridsdorf, Georg Papai, recently visited the Georg-Danzer-Steg to reveal a memorial plaque for the famous Austrian songwriter Georg Danzer.

The Georg-Danzer-Steg is not only a connection element between the districts of Brigittenau and Floridsdorf, but also plays an important role in the musical history of Austria. This bridge, the cyclists and pedestrians facilitate access, leads over the Danube and the Danube Island and was named in 2009 in honor of Georg Danzer. The artist, known for his poetic songs, still shapes the music scene in Austria and has a loyal fan base.

an important place

In order to celebrate the official attachment of the memory board, Dubravac-Widholm and Papai chose the famous verse from Danzer's less well-known song "In the evening on the bridge", which begins with the words "So we meet at the bridge". These words not only reflect the connection of the two districts, but also remind of the moving moments that people often experience in such a place

"District head Georg Papai and I followed Danzers call and met at Georg Danzer Steg, where signs are now also reminiscent of the great singer and composer," said Dubravac-Widholm. "Anyone who goes from Brigittenau to Floridsdorf will perhaps humidly hum with Danzer."

The bridge itself is part of the U6-Donaubrücke, which was built with the extension of the subway line to Floridsdorf. The creation of a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists was also planned to enable accessibility between the districts.

The new sign will keep the memory of Georg Danzer alive and encourage future generations to remember the artist and appreciate his music. Danzers songs, which often act on the longing and beauty of life, represent a cultural connection to the region and have influenced generations of music lovers.

This event followed recent developments that have re -lived up interest in Danzer's work. It is expected that the sign not only offers an attractive contact point for the residents, but also for visitors. The memory of Georg Danzer remains an integral part of the cultural identity of the districts connected by the jetty.
