Gedenktafel Gertrud Herzog-Hauser

On November 12, 2009, a commemorative plaque was unveiled on the façade of the Federal Gymnasium and Federal Real Gymnasium Rahlgasse at Rahlgasse 4, commemorating the classical philologist and educator Gertrud Herzog-Hauser. She served as director of the school until 1938 and was expelled by the Nazi regime in 1939 due to her Jewish heritage. After 1945, she experienced the continuity of post-war Austria, as she was denied a university professorship due to antisemitic motives. The project was supported by the Zukunftsfonds of the Republic of Austria.
