Gedenktafel Emil Geyer

On November 8, 2012, a commemorative plaque was unveiled on the façade of house Siebensterngasse 31 in the district Neubau, commemorating the theater director Emil Geyer. He was murdered in the concentration camp Mauthausen in 1942. The commemorative plaque was initiated by the theater scholar Hilde Haider-Pregler, who during a commemorative event at the theater Spielraum invited the audience to make donations. The remaining amount was provided by the theater itself. Support for the project came from the district council, however, several years passed until the plaque was finally affixed to the house façade.
