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

The Verbund hydroelectric power plant at Lavamünd on the Drava, directly behind the western town exit of Lavamünd, was built from 1939 to 1943, at the same time as the nearby Schwabeck power plant. During construction, several thousand forced laborers and prisoners of war of various nationalities were employed, with 45 deaths 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 visible from the road on the eastern side wall of the power plant building.
