“A handkiss to the ladies, a very good evening to the gentlemen, greetings to the girls, hello to the boys.” Right here, before the Heinz Conrads Denkmal, we remember a true Viennese icon. Heinz Conrads, a beloved entertainer, graced our screens and airwaves with his charm and wit for decades. This memorial, a testament to his enduring legacy, captures his warmth and the spirit of his iconic greeting. Unveiled in 1990, the Heinz Conrads Denkmal features a bronze bust of Conrads, forever frozen in a warm smile. This isn’t just a monument to a man, but to a bygone era of Viennese entertainment. Conrads, a master of ceremonies, actor, and singer, had a way of making you feel like you were part of his world. His show, “Guten Abend am Samstag,” was a Saturday night staple, a showcase for rising stars and established talents. But beyond the glitz and glamour, Conrads was a man of the people, a true Wiener through and through. From his roles in the Theater in der Josefstadt to his iconic rendition of classic Viennese songs, he embodied the heart and soul of this city. As you stand here, remember Heinz Conrads. Remember his genuine warmth, his quick wit, and the way he could light up a room with his smile. His spirit lives on in the hearts of the Viennese, a reminder that even in a fast-paced world, there’s always time for a friendly “Grüß Gott” and a hearty “Servus.”
