In the castle park of Rechnitz, a memorial stone for the victims of the Kreuzstadl and for four Rechnitz resistance fighters was erected in 1991. As part of the redevelopment of the castle park, this stone was removed and in 2006 a peace park, a memorial ensemble in the form of five objects, was established. In 2007, four memorial plaques for the victims of National Socialism were mounted on a stone block. These plaques explicitly commemorate the Jewish women and men of the community of Rechnitz, the four murdered resistance fighters Paul Graf, Josef Hotwagner, Emmerich Kiss and Michael Untenecker, and the Hungarian-Jewish victims of the massacre at the Kreuzstadl.
