[Cz-L] Maria Theresa monument

http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/edwardturj/50951281/10910/original.jpg

High and proud on a pedestal stood the Austria monument on the Austriaplatz.
They also called it the Maria Theresa monument.
   Maria Theresa and Austria were one.
 Corpulent and overweight she was the greatest Habsburg Empress.
  She was continuously pregnant and provided brides and grooms to
  all the European royal families.
   Her youngest was Marie Antoinette.
    The monument was removed in 1918 for obvious reasons.
    Recently it was discovered in some cellar but the head was chopped off.
      No head was found.
     The end of an Empire.
