  3. The memorial stone looks so new. Is this the original stone?

    Thank you.
    If you scroll back to last Saturday's "Eternal Spring" post and following the links (by clicking on the pictures), you'll find more photos of the Mozart memorial site.

    You are welcome!

    Seamus:
    No, this is not the original stone. The original wooden grave marker was lost not too long after he got buried there. A memorial plaque was placed on the spot most likely to have been the burial site. The memorial in the photo has been erected more recently.
