Memorial to the Women's Resistance in the Stölzlpark

Already in 1947, a memorial stone for the resistance fighter Rosa Hofmann was unveiled in the Stölzlpark. In 2019, this memorial stone was expanded. Today, a curved stone panel of artificial stone remembers 18 Salzburg women who resisted the inhumane regime during the NS period. Their names, dates of birth and death, and places of execution are recorded. The range of their resistance actions extended from inner resistance through symbolic distancing up to engagement in resistance groups, the distribution of propaganda material, and sabotage. As diverse as the resistance actions were, so too was the origin of the female resisters: although the communist resistance in Salzburg numerically formed the largest group, the 18 women remembered come from different backgrounds.
