Gedenktafel Eduard Schlesinger

At the Eduard-Schlesinger-Hof in the Wilhelm-Leibl-Gasse 2-4, the city of Vienna unveiled a memorial plaque for the namesake of the residential complex, Eduard Schlesinger, on October 20, 1998. Eduard Schlesinger (1903–1988) was socialized in the socialist children's and youth organizations. In February 1934, he was briefly imprisoned as a member of the Republican Protection League. He participated in the antifascist resistance of the Revolutionary Socialists. After the National Socialists seized power in March 1938, Schlesinger fled to Great Britain and joined the British army. In 1944, he sustained an injury. In 1946, he returned to Vienna. In Hietzing, he served as a district councilor of the SPÖ and was active in the Bund Sozialistischer Freiheitskämpfer.
