Monument to Franz Xaver Gabelsberger (Traunstein)

The Gabelsberger monument in Traunstein was erected on June 1, 1913 by the Traunstein Stenographers Association in honor of the inventor of a cursive shorthand system , Franz Xaver Gabelsberger (1789–1849).

In its present form, the monument consists of a brick base, a pillar tapering towards the top with an inscription plaque and a portrait plaque and a vase above. The location is on the roadside at the corner of Wasserburger Strasse and Obere Hammerstrasse.

When it was erected, the monument had a well with a round, low wall. In 1962 the fountain was sacrificed to road traffic. In 1980 the remaining stone pillar had to be moved for the same reason.
