Memorial Heinrich Maier - Priest in Resistance

The memorial for Heinrich Maier in the parish church Gersthof St. Leopold in Vienna-Währing was erected on 25 March 1994. The sponsors of the memorial were priest Norbert Rodt and his mother. Johann Schwabenitzky created the sculpture "The Headless One," which depicts the decapitated body of a cleric with hands raised above the torso before a white tablet with a painted cross. The inscription originally ran in a circular form around the cross, but was later placed on both sides of the figure's hips. In place of the circular inscription, there is now a circular red-white-red band intended to symbolize the priest's connection to Austria.
