Gedenktafel Hugo Bettauer

On June 18, 2002, a memorial plaque was unveiled on the façade of house Lange Gasse 21, commemorating the Jewish journalist and writer Hugo Bettauer. Bettauer was the victim of a nationally motivated attacker in the premises of the editorial offices of his magazine "Er und Sie. Wochenschrift für Lebenskultur und Erotik" located in Lange Gasse 5-7 in 1925. Bettauer died as a result of the gunshot wounds. The plaque originates from a proposal by the Josefstädter Grünen, which received approval from the Josefstädter Cultural Commission.
