Memorial Stone in Klostermarienberg

On 29 March 1945, the Red Army entered the area of Klostermarienberg/Bezirk Oberpullendorf for the first time on „Austrian/Burgenland“ territory. Thus began the liberation of Austria and the end of the NS regime. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary, a memorial stone was unveiled in Klostermarienberg on 30 March 1985, which was expanded in 2015 with a Russian memorial plaque. The initiator of the memorial stone was the community of Mannersdorf an der Rabnitz. Every year, representatives of the Russian embassy lay a wreath at the memorial for the victims of the Red Army on the anniversary of 29 March.
