Gedenktafel Mathias Liška

At Liskahof in Fünkhgasse 2, the city of Vienna erected a memorial plaque in 1949 in memory of the namesake of the residential complex, the communist resistance fighter Matthias Liška. Matthias Liška (born 27 December 1889, often written as "Liska") was a laborer at the Vienna West Railway Station. On 20 November 1942, he was arrested by the Gestapo because he was leading a communist resistance cell. On 26 August 1943, he was sentenced to death by the national socialist judiciary for "preparation of high treason" and was executed in Berlin-Plötzensee.
