As a permanent or temporary residence, the Konradinum in Eugendorf has offered people with mental and physical impairments various support services up to the present day. During the NS-period, it was a site of inhumane NS-policy. Thus, NS-authorities planned to relocate the impaired children to different institutions. However, under the leadership of Sr. Countess Anna Bertha Königsegg, the sisters had already previously moved 20 children to Mariathal near Kramsach in Tyrol, and another 13 children were relocated to the Pflegeheilanstalt Schernberg near Schwarzach. The National Socialists then seized the now vacant premises. In January 1941, the authorities decided to deport the children, against which the sisters strongly resisted. However, this resistance was in vain; starting on April 16, 1941, a large part of the children who had found refuge in Mariathal and Schernberg were deported to killing institutions and murdered. The memorial plaque, located in the entrance area of the newly built building, commemorates the residents of the home who were murdered due to mental or physical impairments.
