Monument for Ten Resistance Fighters

On the site of the Municipal Gasworks in Vienna-Simmering, a monument was erected as early as October 30, 1945, in memory of ten resistance fighters against the Nazi regime. On October 25, 1968, it was replaced by a new monument. The multi-part monument is dedicated to ten resistance fighters who were murdered by the Nazi regime. The places of execution or death are the Vienna State Court, Hadersdorf am Kamp, and the prison Stein on the Danube. The monument was sponsored by the Works Council of the Vienna Gasworks. It was designed by Franz Schubert, who himself was an employee at the gasworks. The ensemble consists of a male figure who is chained with iron chains to a wall, which is modeled after the coat of arms of the city of Vienna. Above the martyr figure, the years "1938 / 1945" are indicated. On a stone block next to it, the names of the honored individuals are listed. Additional symbols include the coat of arms of the Republic of Austria and a memorial urn. The site is owned by the company Wiener Netze GmbH. Access to the monument is possible upon prior application to Wiener Netze.
