The memorial was erected on September 20, 1951, on the grounds of the gasworks Leopoldau, Pfendlergasse 1. The memorial, designed by Herbert Potuznik, does not name any individuals and depicts a grieving woman. It bears the inscription "To Our Deceased Friends 1934–1945". The choice of dates establishes a connection to resistance and persecution both during the Austrofascist regime and during the National Socialist regime. The memorial was funded by employees of the gasworks Leopoldau. Gas production on the site was already discontinued in the 1970s, and the site has since been sold and repurposed multiple times. During the construction of residential buildings on the site, the memorial was renovated and reinstalled at the corner of Menzelstraße and Motesiczkyweg, near the original location.
