Gedenktafel Warenhaus Dichter

On October 22, 2013, a memorial plaque was unveiled on the façade of the Dichterhof at the corner of Grundsteingasse / Brunnengasse, commemorating the work and fate of the Jewish Dichter family, who operated a store at this location until 1938. After the National Socialists came to power, part of the family managed to flee, while other family members were murdered. After the end of the war, there was no restitution. Between 2005 and 2007, the building stood empty – at the initiative of the district office, a temporary art space was created, mainly used by the association masc foundation 39 dada, which engages with the history of the Dichter family through art. In 2007/2008, a residential house was built at this location, named in memory of the family "Dichterhof". The plaque is a so-called Wienkl, that is, an additional information plaque, which is intended to contextualize the history of the place. The installation of the plaque was done in joint agreement between the artists of masc foundation 39 dada, the district office, and the real estate company conwert.
