On the old cemetery in Mattersburg, the Roma Memorial Site has been located since 2007 at the southern portal. Next to a memorial plaque stands a sculpture of a bowed torso, which is meant to express "humility before life." The artwork was created and forged by Karl Horvath, a metalworker and member of the Roma people. The memorial site remembers at least 23 Mattersburgers and 11 Walbersdorfer Romnija and Roma who lost their lives during the Holocaust.
