Information panel on forced labor during the construction of the Drau hydroelectric power plant in Schwabeck

The Schwabeck hydroelectric power plant north of the village of Lavamünd on the Drava was built from 1939 to 1943, at the same time as the nearby Lavamünd power plant. During construction, several thousand forced laborers and prisoners of war of various nationalities were used; 45 deaths have been documented. The memorial plaque serves as an information panel about the results of a commission of historians, which, on behalf of the company Verbund, examined the historical events. The information panel is located directly on the road, just before the entrance gate to the power plant area on the left.
