concept

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.

As a rule, memorial stones were laid in the sidewalk. In three cases - two houses in the 15th district and one in the 19th - the owner's approval could be obtained and memorial plaques were attached to the facade or the entrance gate. Since the Stones of Remembrance Association , which organized the laying of the memorial stones and the wall plaques, is mainly dedicated to commemorating the Holocaust victims, all the memorial stones and plaques placed in these six Viennese districts commemorate Jewish men and women.

Some of the tables can be sorted; the basic sorting is done alphabetically according to the family name. If blackboards have been installed, this is added to the Location column in brackets.

15. Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus

Place of remembrance,
Turnertempel ,
opened in 2011

The settlement of textile factories in today's municipal districts 12 to 16, which were then suburbs of Vienna, led to the influx of workers, often of Jewish faith, in the early 19th century. As a result, a number of smaller Jewish communities emerged. As the first of the suburban communities, the Israelite religious community in Sechshaus made itself independent from the Viennese mother community and in 1871 built the gymnast temple , the third synagogue building in Vienna. Sechshaus was the southernmost part of today's 15th Viennese district Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus and one of the 89 Viennese cadastral communities. However, the density of the Jewish population remained rather low compared to the whole of Vienna, the social profile corresponded to the surroundings. Most of the Jews in these districts were workers and small businesses.

Other centers of Jewish life in this district were the orthodox stork school , which was expanded into a synagogue in 1934 and housed the Haschomer Hazair from 1955 to 1974 , as well as the privately donated clubhouse in Herklotzgasse 21. After the Shoah , there was no more local Jewish life in the south-western suburbs of Vienna. The project at Herklotzgasse 21 and the Jewish rooms in a Viennese Grätzel worked on the history of the Jewish community and published it in a variety of ways, for example on their website or on a double DVD, in which twenty people from their childhood or youth in the Jewish community Tell six house .

In the years 1885 and 1886, the then Israelite suburb community built the Ottakringer temple in Hubergasse 8 . It had three naves and had 406 male and 266 female seats. Ludwig Tischler was the architect . The temple quickly became the institutional center of the Jews in Ottakring and from 1890 was under the administration of the IKG Vienna. The building was visible from the street and clearly recognizable as a Jewish cult building because of the tablets of the law and two stars of David . In 1928 a winter prayer school was added by the architect Ignaz Reiser . Rabbi Moritz Deutsch was followed in 1898 by Julius Max Bach (1872–1946), who held this position for forty years and was able to flee to New York in 1938. The temple's chief cantors were Mosche Dow Kaufmann and Rudolf Kogan. The outbuildings also housed a number of Jewish district associations for Ottakring and Hernals , such as the feeding association for school children and old, disabled men and women, the Chewra Kadischa , the Jewish culture and temple building association in Vienna Ottakring-Hernals, as well the association of children's friends for clothing poor Israelite school children.

Memorial stone for Kalman Klein and Elisabeth Klein.JPG Elisabeth Klein
(née Thalheim)
Ottakringer Strasse 35 Erioll world.svg 0May 7, 2008 Elisabeth Klein (née Thalheim) was born on May 29, 1901 in Vienna as the daughter of a family of craftsmen. Her father Samuel Thalheim was a turner and meerschaum pipe dealer, her grandfather a roofer. In January 1924 she married Kálmán Klein, who was returning from the war and the glass maker, and in December 1924 their daughter Nelly, later married Sturm, was born. The couple found a one-room kitchen apartment in Hernals and a small shop in Ottakring that provided their livelihood. Nelly Sturm about her mother in 2008: “She herself was blonde and had bright blue eyes, she belied Hitler's typology. She loved everything that was beautiful: nature, music, film, art, literature, education, knowledge - above all knowledge, but also had little access due to the humble circumstances from which she came. She was a happy person and always full of plans for the future. She believed in the good in people and in constant progress. ”Elisabeth's father died of natural causes on January 16, 1941, her mother Karoline Thalheim nee. Kohn was hidden by nuns in a monastery, survived the Nazi regime and died on December 7, 1975 in Vienna.

After the annexation of Austria to the Third Reich in 1938, the Klein family fled to Belgium, where Kálmán Klein was interned on May 10, 1940 and Elisabeth Klein on February 13, 1943. Nelly Sturm about her mother: "While still in the Belgian interim camp, after her arrest by the Nazi henchmen, she sent me and my grandmother short messages in which she encouraged [us] and gave hope to see us again." Nelly's parents did not survive the Holocaust . Elisabeth Klein was deported from Mechelen to Auschwitz on April 19, 1943, where she was selected by an SS Ahnenerbe commando for the skeleton collection of the Strasbourg anatomy professor August Hirt . She was transferred to the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp on July 30, 1943 , and murdered there in the gas chamber on August 11 or 13, 1943. Her body was used for "race-determining" examinations.

Kálmán Klein Kálmán, also Koloman Klein (born September 28, 1891 in Kisnána in Heves County , Hungary) grew up in great poverty and learned the trade of glazier. He was drafted during World War I , fought on the Russian front, became a prisoner of war and was released in 1919. He came to Vienna and built his own business, a hardware store, and a family. He married Elisabeth Thalheim on January 6, 1924, and their daughter Nelly was born in December of the same year. She reported in 2008: “The happiness was almost complete. The war was behind them, there was peace. In Hernals they had found a one-room kitchen apartment and a small shop in Ottakring that provided them with a modest living. ”Kálmán Klein supported his mother and sisters, who still lived in Kisnána. He loved hiking with his family and classical music, attended concerts in the music association and concert hall. Nelly Sturm: "My parents seemed to be integrated in Austria, in Vienna and especially in Ottakring, here was their home, their 'home', their nest."

This changed dramatically after March 12, 1938. “For our tens of thousands of families as well as for other families, all hell broke loose. Hysterical roar in all the streets. Human faces turned into grimaces. A tremendous fury of destruction gripped part of the population. No Jew was safe in his life any more. ”After the Anschluss of Austria, Nazis smeared his shop windows with slogans such as“ Juda verrecke ”. Koloman Klein had to clean the sidewalk with a brush. The family was thrown out of the apartment, daughter Nelly had to leave school on Geblergasse. The family managed to escape to Belgium, but the Nazi regime attacked this country on May 10, 1940. Kálmán Klein was arrested in Brussels and expelled to France; his family remained in Belgium. After a camp odyssey, he finally arrived at the Drancy collection camp . From there he was deported to Auschwitz on August 17, 1942 , where he was murdered.
