Memorial for Victims of the NS in the Upper Drau Valley

After years of research and preparatory work, "kuland - Verein für Kultur und Informationsvielfalt" unveiled a memorial in 2012 for 39 victims of National Socialism from the Upper Drautal near the train station Greifenburg. The memorial site is 20 meters long and is an accessible sculpture by the artist Hans Peter Profunser. The external framework made of iron bars symbolizes, according to the artist, the enclosure of National Socialism, while the torn front represents resistance. Here, it is possible to get close to the persecuted, who were provided with a protected space in removable stalls. These stalls contain the names and dates of the victims as well as quotes from writers. Empty stalls make clear that not all victims of National Socialism from the Upper Drautal are known by name. Since the unveiling of the memorial in 2012, three additional stalls have been filled with names of victims of National Socialism from the Upper Drautal, so that it now commemorates 42 individuals.
