Stele for the Victims of the NS Justice at the State Court Klagenfurt

2012-12-31 – 2013-12-30

At least 47 people were sentenced to death by the Klagenfurt Regional Court during National Socialism due to resistance activities. These individuals are attributable to different resistance groups: partisan resistance, green cadres, railway resistance, and communist resistance. After the liberation from National Socialism, the victims received little recognition; instead, they were widely slandered by a large part of the population as traitors to the fatherland. Since 2008, the Memorial Kärnten/Koroška association has annually commemorated the victims of NS unjust justice during a remembrance ceremony in Klagenfurt. Finally, in 2013, a memorial was erected before the Regional Court for these victims. On the 2.30 m high serpentinite stone, which centrally symbolizes an axe, the names of the 47 murdered individuals are inscribed. In the last line, further victims are referred to who are still unknown.
