The Well of the Displaced 1938

The "Brunnen der Vertriebenen" commemorates employees of the Medical Faculty of the University of Vienna who were expelled during the NS regime. The names of 82 individuals are engraved on metal plaques, which are mounted along the length of the fountain. The fountain is located at the site of the Medical University in the 9th district; its inauguration took place on November 30, 2008. The fountain was donated by the City of Vienna and the Medical University. Its construction was further made possible by donations from 13 companies or organizations. The memorial symbol with the names of the expelled individuals was complemented by a "Mahnmal for victims of National Socialism of the Medical University" erected in the same year in immediate proximity.
