Memorial stone for Hans Sylvester in Eisenstadt

On 5 April 1981, at the initiative of the ÖVP-Kameradschaft der politisch Verfolgten in Eisenstadt, near the Burgenländisches Landhaus, the "Hans Sylvester-Gedenkstein," a limestone with inscription and bronze plate, was unveiled. Dipl. Ing. Hans Sylvester was the Landeshauptmann of Burgenland from 1934 to 1938. Upon the takeover of power by the National Socialists on 11 March 1938, he was arrested and subsequently deported to the Dachau concentration camp. There he died on 19 January 1939. Due to construction work, the monument had to be removed in December 2016 and reinstalled in the similarly named "Ing. Hans Sylvester-Straße."
