Cinkarna Celje

On the smokestack of the old Cinkarna factory, a memorial plaque in memory of 24 fallen members of the collective was unveiled. The organization OF was established in Cinkarna in 1941. After the May 1942 issue and the shooting of the floor workers, a standstill occurred. The organization OF was re-established in the autumn of 1944, when a committee of the Workers' Unity was established in the factory. In May 1945, the factory was taken over and protected from destruction by the unit of the People's Protection. The plaque was installed by the collective on its own initiative. After the demolition of the old smokestack, the plaque was stored. In an agreement between ZB NOB Gaberje and the management of Cinkarna, the plaque was restored and placed within Cinkarna on a grassy surface near the entrance. The plaque is mounted on supports made of non-ferrous material.
