Memorial for more than 400 victims of the bombing war 1944–1945

The memorial for bomb victims was unveiled on November 2, 1982, Allerseelentag, at the Central Cemetery in grave group 40. The city of Vienna dedicated it to all Viennese women and men who became victims of the bombing warfare during the Second World War. More than 400 people are buried at the location of the memorial, who were killed in air raids on Vienna. The city of Vienna estimated in 1982 that the total number of victims from bombing attacks amounted to 8,000 civilians. Many were buried in family graves at the initiative of their relatives, but a large number of victims could not be recovered. The memorial consists of a monolith made of Upper Austrian granite, created in the municipal stone workshop according to designs by master stonemason Leopold Grausam.
