The memorial plate embedded in the floor of the local station's ticket hall remembers the three railway workers Alois Auer, August Gruber and Rudolf Hartl, who were murdered between 1942 and 1943 due to their resistance against the NS regime. The unassuming floor plate was initiated by the local railway's operations management, when in the 1990s they began to relocate the local station under the main station. The state party chairman of the SPÖ unveiled the plaque on 13 October 1997. The current plaque is still missing a fourth local railway worker. Alois Hattinger was murdered in 1944 due to his resistance activities. A Stolperstein in Franz-Josef-Straße 4 remembers him.
