The memorial cross was erected on March 13, 1951, in the Michaelerkirche at Michaelerplatz 5, in a side chapel, to the right of the entrance. The memorial cross had been located since 1945 in the concentration camp Dachau and was moved to Vienna after the establishment of a monument there. The sponsor of the cross, both in Dachau and in the church, was the ÖVP Kameradschaft der politisch Verfolgten und Bekenner für Österreich. At the opening in 1951, Archbishop-Coadjutor Franz Jachym participated.
