Gedenktafeln Emilie Flöge und Lina Loos

On January 9, 2008, two commemorative plaques were unveiled on the façade of the house at Mariahilfer Straße 1b in the district of Mariahilf, commemorating the fashion designer Emilie Flöge and the actress Lina Loos. Emilie Flöge operated a fashion salon in this house until 1938. The closure of the fashion salon was indirectly linked to the rise of power by the National Socialists, as Flöge lost her predominantly Jewish clientele, although she herself was not persecuted. The father of Lina Loos, Carl Obertimpfler, ran a café here until 1918, where Lina Loos was a frequently seen guest.
