The promenade in Kaisermühlen, between "UNO-City" and "Donau-City", was named on 18th January 2000 by the municipal council committee for culture after the Portuguese diplomat Aristides de Sousa Mendes. In his former capacity as consul in Bordeaux (France), he saved in June 1940 the lives of numerous Jewish women and men from Vienna by issuing them transit visas for Portugal, enabling their escape. In 1966, the State of Israel awarded him the honorary title of "Righteous Among the Nations".
