In December 1989, a memorial for the NS victims from Oberwart was erected on the main square of Oberwart, near the war memorial. The memorial is carved in the form of a flaming heart from noble serpentine. On the memorial, there is a commemorative plaque that lists all victim groups. Specifically, the two resistance fighters Alexander Heigl and Josef Seper are highlighted. In 2013, the inscription on the memorial stone was changed due to the politically incorrect designation of the Romnija and Roma people.
