Geschichte
Die ursprüngliche Gedenktafel wurde bereits 1899 an Brahms Sterbehaus Karlsgasse 4 angebracht. Sie trug die Inschrift: " In diesem Hause starb Johannes Brahms am 3. April 1897 im 64. Lebensjahre. Dem Andenken des berühmten Tondichters die Gemeinde Wien."
Nach Abbruch der Hauses und Neubau als Teil der Technischen Universität wurde 1922 die noch heute bestehende Tafel mit leicht abgeänderten Text angebracht.

History
The original commemorative plaque was already installed in 1899 on Brahms's death house at Karlsgasse 4. It bore the inscription: "In this house Johannes Brahms died on 3. April 1897 in his 64th year. To the memory of the famous composer, the City of Vienna."
After the demolition of the house and the construction of a new building as part of the Technische Universität, the plaque still in place today was installed in 1922 with slightly altered text.
