Memorial Path Station: Karoline-Redler-Weg Bregenz

Karoline Redler (1883-1940) was a businesswoman in Bregenz and founder of the Association of Catholic Women and Girls. Redler always adhered to her political and religious convictions and was arrested on October 5, 1943, after a conversation in the waiting room of a doctor's office, during which she was supposedly holding Germany responsible for the war. She was transferred from the prisons of Bregenz-Oberstadt and Feldkirch to Vienna in July 1944 and was charged with "undermining the war effort and aiding the enemy." On November 8, 1944, she was executed at the Vienna Regional Court. The site is part of a memorial trail that has been remembering resistance and persecution in Bregenz since 2002 with several memorial plaques.
