In connection with the commemoration ceremony in March 2008, a tree was planted north of the Kreuzstadl. Adjacent to this is a memorial stone with a metal plate. The text on it refers to Rechnitzer Maria and Michael Tomsits, their daughters, and Franziska Hutter, who concealed the Hungarian-Jewish forced laborer Sandór Székely for a week in March 1945 and thereby saved his life. The tree is part of the enclosure of the site, with the existing memorial Kreuzstadl being expanded into a memorial for all victims of the Southeast Wall construction through the adoption of a tree sponsorship by communities.
