Monument 369 Weeks

The installation "369 Weeks" commemorates the victims of the Nazi justice system who were executed at the Vienna Regional Court. The number 369 refers to the 369 weeks of Nazi rule in Vienna. The artwork was unveiled on April 21, 2015, in front of the Vienna Regional Court for Criminal Matters. The design is by Eva Schlegel. The memorial consists of a steel pyramid, on the surface of which the inscription "369 WOCHEN (WEEKS)" is cut out and illuminated. At the same time, the number 369 is projected onto part of the courthouse facade behind which the executioner carried out more than 1,200 death sentences. The idea for the memorial's title comes from the resistance fighter Käthe Sasso. The monument was erected by the Concentration Camp Association (KPÖ), the Federation of Socialist Freedom Fighters (SPÖ), and the ÖVP Fellowship of Politically Persecuted Individuals with the support of Voestalpine.
