On September 19, 2007, a memorial plaque was unveiled on the façade of the house at Hütteldorfer Straße 349 in the district of Penzing, district part Ober-Baumgarten, commemorating the Jewish actor Leon Askin, who lived in this house from his return to Vienna in 1994 until his death. Askin, who had to leave Berlin already in 1933 after the National Socialists came to power, went into exile in the United States in 1940, where his film career also began.
