Memorial Plaque Manfred Ackermann

At the Manfred-Ackermann-Hof on Brigittaplatz 11-13, the district representative body of Brigittenau installed a memorial plaque on November 4, 2008, in honor of Manfred Ackermann, the namesake of the residential complex. Manfred Ackermann was a co-founder and first chairman of the Revolutionary Socialists after the Social Democratic Workers' Party (SDAP) was banned by the Austrofascist regime. Until 1938, he was arrested twice. With the takeover by the National Socialists, Ackermann was threatened by the antisemitic policies. He fled with his wife Paula (born Popp) and his son Peter to the USA. He did not return to Vienna until 1964.
