Memorial plaque at the birthplace of Karoline Redler

Karoline Redler (1883–1940) was a businesswoman in Bregenz and founder of the Catholic Women's and Girls' Association. Redler always adhered to her political and religious convictions and was arrested on October 5, 1943, after a conversation in a doctor's waiting room, 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 memorial plaque at Karoline Redler's birthplace was installed by her nephew Paul Schwärzler in the 1960s.
