Gedenktafel Reinhold Duschka

On April 14, 2013, a memorial plaque was unveiled on the façade of the Werkstättenhof at Mollardgasse 85a in the district of Mariahilf, commemorating the artist-sculptor and "Righteous Among the Nations" Reinhold Duschka. During the National Socialist regime, he concealed the Jewish chemist Regina Steinig and her daughter in his workshop between 1941 and 1944, to protect them from deportation and murder. The installation of the memorial plaque goes back to the Mariahilfer Cultural Platform, composed of representatives of the Mariahilf district parties and managing the project "Remembering for the Future."
