Bust of Franz Schuster

—

The sculpture commemorates the resistance fighter and functionary of the KPÖ, Franz Schuster. It was reinstalled in 2010 at the headquarters of the KPÖ and the Alfred Klahr Society in Drechslergasse 42 in the 14th district. Originally, it was erected on April 28, 1953, at the Vienna Central Cemetery as a memorial grave. The relocation occurred because the grave was abandoned. At an unknown time after 2018, the sculpture was returned to the Central Cemetery; it is now located in grave group 40 in the honor grove for the resistance fighters who were executed between 1942 and 1945 by the Nazi judiciary at the Vienna Regional Court.
