Memorial Plaque for Johann Orszag at the Entrance of the Kinderfreunde-Krippe Innsbruck

Johann Orszag was one of the key figures in the establishment of the Social Democracy in Tirol. Professionally, he led the First Tyrolean Workers' Bakery (ETAB). On 21.5.1938, Orszag hanged himself on the attic floor of the ETAB, after having been denounced by an illegal National Socialist for the false accusation of financial irregularities. The Children's Friends of Tirol and the "Bund Sozialdemokratischer FreiheitskämpferInnen" Tirol held a ceremony on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Johann Orszag's death on 5.9.2018, under the presidency of Simon Grießenböck and Helmut Muigg, together with the Innsbruck Educational City Councillor Elisabeth Mayr (SPÖ), during which they installed a memorial plaque in his honor.
