Memorial Plaque for Resistance Fighters in Pinkafeld

In the arcades of the town hall of Pinkafeld, there has been a memorial plaque since 1992 for nine resistance fighters from Pinkafeld who died. Already in 1938, a resistance movement composed of communists formed in Pinkafeld, which also maintained contacts in Vienna. The members met for discussions, recruited new members, distributed leaflets and collected membership fees. From 1941 onwards, the group was gradually uncovered and 48 people were brought to trial. Nine accused were executed, while five further individuals died in prison or in a concentration camp.
