Schrammel Park

The new Schrammel monument in Schrammel Park in Dornbach in Vienna’s 17th district, created by Viennese sculptor Eduard Robitschko, was unveiled in November 1967 as a replacement for the Alszauberbrunnen fountain and depicts the typical musical instruments of the Schrammel quartet: contraguitar, G clarinet and violins.

The most famous Viennese folk music group is named after Johann and Josef Schrammel, who came from a family of musicians and also enjoyed a thorough musical education at the conservatory.

Together with their father and a relative, they performed for the first time in 1861 (at the ages of 11 and 9) in a tavern in Austria’s northernmost town, L:itschau, where they also grew up. However, both musicians died young, at the age of 43.
