Eduard Schön (* January 23, 1825 in Engelsberg; † May 27, 1879 in Deutsch Jaßnik) was an Austrian ministerial councillor, poet and composer for male choirs. For his artistic activity he used the pseudonym E. S. Engelsberg.
Schön was the son of the master weaver Anton Schön and his wife Theresia (nee Schleser). He grew up in the Austrian-Silesian town of Engelsberg and attended the grammar school in Olomütz. Beginning in 1846 Schön studied law at the University of Vienna and received his doctorate in law in 1850.

From 1851 Schön worked in the ''Imperial and Royal Ministry of Finance'' and was appointed Secretary General of the Exchange Chamber in 1860. In 1858 Schön married Betty Held in Vienna. In 1866 his wife died of typhoid fever.

Schön also took over the management of the ''Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde'' in Vienna. One of his particular successes being the construction of the building of the ''Vienna Musikverein'' which was inaugurated in 1870.

Schön retired early due to illness. In 1879 he died unexpectedly during a stay at a health resort with his cousin, the Konsistorialrat Adalbert Riedel in Deutsch Jaßnik. Schön found his final resting place at the Grinzinger cemetery (group MA, number 32) in Vienna in an honorary grave.

In 1907 the Engelsberggasse in Vienna Landstraße (3rd Bezirk (district)) was named after him. On the Altvaterberg in Moravia in the nature reserve between the television tower and the Chata Baborka there are remains of a monument for E. S. Engelsberg. Another monument for Engelsberg as well as Viktor Heeger and Bruno Hanns Wittek was located on the castle hill of Jägerndorf and was removed after the Second World War. (Source: Wikipedia)
