At the Johann-Kaps-Hof in Jägerstraße 62-64, the City of Vienna installed a memorial plaque for Johann Kaps, the namesake of the residential complex, in 1975. Johann Kaps was one of the founders of the Republican Protection League in Brigittenau. The locksmith was commander of a machine gun unit. After the February battles of 1934 against the Austrofascist regime, he was imprisoned for several months. After his release, he took part in the resistance of the Revolutionary Socialists against the Austrofascist regime. In the final phase of the NS regime, he was involved in the rebuilding of the SPÖ in Brigittenau.
