It was dedicated shortly after the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Franz Xaver Gabelsberger (1789-1849), the inventor of a cursive shorthand system. Casting was by Ferdinand von Miller.
The monument shows Gabelsberger in a sitting position and is mounted on a stone base. The location is a plaza at the confluence of Barer Strasse in Ottostraße in the district of Maxvorstadt.
