The memorial plaque for six executed resistance fighters was originally installed on 10 March 1948 in the headquarters of the Vienna Electricity Works at Mariannengasse 4-6. The plaque commemorates the resistance against National Socialism by six employees of the company, who were murdered at the Vienna Regional Court or in the concentration camps Mauthausen and Buchenwald.

After the building was sold, the plaque was moved in 2017 to the grounds of the Municipal Gas Works in Simmering, Eyzinggasse 12. There, it is now part of an ensemble with another monument dedicated to ten resistance fighters.
