Memorial plaque Jakob Kastelic

On 26 November 2008, a memorial plaque commemorating the jurist and resistance fighter Jakob Kastelic was unveiled at the Bundesgymnasium Fichtnergasse, located at Fichtnergasse 15. Kastelic completed his military maturity examination (Kriegsmatura) at this gymnasium in 1915 and was sentenced to death in March 1944 by the Nazi regime for "high treason" after several years of imprisonment. In August of the same year, the Nazi judiciary executed him. The plaque was erected by the school in cooperation with the district representation of Hietzing. The unveiling took place within the framework of a commemorative ceremony that was part of a multi-month school project on the Nazi period.
