Memorial Plaque for Johann Mithlinger and Twelve Resistance Fighters

In the Johann-Mithlinger-Siedlung in Neilreichgasse 100, the city of Vienna placed a memorial plaque on August 4, 1945, for the namesake of the housing complex, Johann Mithlinger, and another one for twelve named anti-fascists. This is the first time a housing complex has been named after a resistance fighter. This early decision by the city administration was confirmed by the municipal committee on February 15, 1949. It was the first memorial plaque for executed resistance fighters unveiled in public urban space in Vienna since the liberation from National Socialism.
