Hans Leinkauf joined a resistance group against the NS regime in Vienna in 1943, was arrested, and on 9 June 1944 was charged with preparation for high treason. He remained in custody until the liberation from National Socialism. After the end of the war, Leinkauf turned to local politics. He was a member of the municipal council and district party chairman of the ÖVP Hernals, state party secretary of the Vienna ÖVP, and a founding member and chairman of the board of the ÖVP-Kameradschaft der politisch Verfolgten. The naming of the square took place on 22 September 1994. In 1999, an explanatory plaque was also installed.
