Memorial Plaque for Robert Moser at the State Building Authority Innsbruck

Robert Moser supported the resistance in Innsbruck towards the end of the war, he died as a result of torture in the Gestapo headquarters. The request by Doris Linser, member of the city council of the Greens, from November 20, 1995, to erect a memorial plaque at Herrengasse 1, the former seat of the Gestapo, was approved by the Innsbruck city council on March 27, 1996. A lengthy debate arose regarding the wording of the plaque. Since the building was the seat of the state building authority, Governor Wendelin Weingartner (ÖVP) had a plaque with the text by Wilfried Beimrohr from the Tyrolean State Archives installed in June 1998. There was no mention that the building housed the Gestapo headquarters for the Tirol-Vorarlberg region. The governor did not want to label the building as the "Gestapo-Haus."
