Memorial stones in Vienna's new building

The stations of remembrance in Wien-Neubau include the memorial stones in the Vienna district of Neubau , which remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide under National Socialism. The laying is carried out by the Stones of Remembrance Association based in Leopoldstadt .

The concept of Wiener remembrance and memorial stones based on the pitfalls of Gunter Demnig and from this as plagiarism called. The memorial stones shown here differ from Demnig's stumbling blocks (a) in their size, they are four times as large, (b) in that they mostly honor several people on one memorial stone, (c) that they were made by machine and not by hand.

The table is partially sortable; the basic sorting takes place alphabetically according to the location.

List of memorial stones

The Viennese district of Neubau was and is a cultural and economic center of the city. The major shopping streets in the district are Mariahilfer Strasse and Neubaugasse , which were also an important film and cinema center in the time before Austria was annexed. In the 1930s Vienna-Neubau was home to numerous hat makers , furriers , trimmers (trimmings are trimmings for textiles), silk manufacturers and leather goods manufacturers , many of them of Jewish origin. At that time, a number of important cultural workers also lived in this district, including Karl Farkas , Egon Friedell , Fritz Hochwälder , Ruth Klüger , Fritz Kortner , Georg Kreisler , Berthold Viertel , Fred Wander and Hans Weigel . They all managed to survive the Nazi regime, admittedly in emigration or in a concentration camp .

Before 1938, the new building had a relatively high proportion of Jewish residents, around 14.8 percent. Jewish life was part of the local color and was well integrated. The most important prayer house was located at Schottenfeldgasse 60 and was used jointly by Jewish residents of the 6th and 7th district. As part of the November pogroms in 1938 , it was destroyed - like almost all Jewish prayer houses and synagogues in Vienna. Because when the National Socialists came to power in Vienna, the situation of Vienna's Jewish population had changed dramatically. They “have been deprived of their rights, dignity and property. Many of them were sent to the assembly camps at Kenyongasse 4 and 7 or in the former district court in Neubau at Burggasse 69. Within a short time they were either expelled or murdered; 950 people from the new building fell victim to the destruction. "
