Gedenktafel Helene Potetz

At the Helene-Potetz-Hof in Rosenhügelstraße 35, the City of Vienna (Wiener Wohnen) installed a memorial plaque in 1990 in memory of Helene Potetz, the namesake of the housing complex, the social democratic municipal politician. Helene Potetz joined the Revolutionary Socialists in February 1934 in resistance against the Austrofascist regime. She was imprisoned for several months in 1937/1938. Under National Socialism, she was arrested by the Gestapo once more. After two years in prison, she was deported to the concentration camp Ravensbrück, where she experienced the liberation in 1945.
