Franz-Sebek-Straße

The construction worker Franz Sebek was a member of the Central Committee of the illegal KPÖ and resisted National Socialism. He organized a resistance group at the company Siemens-Schuckert, for which he worked as a crane operator in a factory, leading wage struggles and distributing anti-Nazi leaflets among the workers. Furthermore, the group collected money for the "Red Aid," a communist solidarity organization that supported persecuted Communists and Socialists and assisted their families. Sebek was arrested in January 1941, tried by the NS judiciary for "high treason," and sentenced to death, which was carried out on January 7, 1943, at the Vienna Regional Court.
