On the prisoner of war cemetery Stalag XVII A Kaisersteinbruch/Sommerein there is a gravestone for the Slovak prisoners who died during their captivity. At the suggestion of the director of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the artists Klara Köttner-Benigni and Walter Benigni, in collaboration with the Museum and Culture Association Kaisersteinbruch, took the initiative to establish a Slovak memorial on the prisoner of war cemetery. In June 2000, a memorial stone designed by the sculptor Peter Roller was solemnly inaugurated.
