On 4 August 2006, a commemorative plaque was unveiled on the façade of the house at number 40 Lindengasse in the district, remembering the house owner and Jewish textile merchant Albert Pollak. Pollak fled to Dutch exile in November 1938. He and his entire family were dispossessed in 1940. After a lengthy legal process, the house was restituted to his heirs by the city of Vienna in 1948. The plaque was donated and financed by the Vienna Greens, who have their party headquarters in the house.
