History

Baron Scudier Antal was transferred to Temesvár after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise as a corps commander. He did much to beautify the city. In 1881, a life-size statue was erected in his honour in the park that bore his name. The life-size iron statue, painted in bronze, was made by the Austrian sculptor Richard Kauffungen. The statue was pulled down in October 1918 as a symbol of Habsburg oppression.
