Installation for Karl Löwy-HAK Eisenstadt

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the commercial school, an artwork commemorating the victims and engaging with the time of National Socialism was unveiled in the entrance area of the BHAK/BHAS Eisenstadt. Conceived and created by the artist Tobias Hermeling, the artwork is based on the expulsion of the Jewish teacher Karl Löwy in March 1938 by the then director and NSDAP member Franz Lugauer. The artwork shows a figure group (family) on one side of the wall, which interacts or makes contact with another figure on the wall that occupies a different perspective. This is intended to close the dramatic link between victims and perpetrators between past, present, and future, for which the left wall in the entrance area is intended to provide space.
