Memorial Vitrine and Sculpture for Ella Lingens

On March 31, 2009, a memorial was unveiled at the Ella Lingens Gymnasium on Gerasdorfer Straße 103, commemorating the jurist, physician, and resistance fighter Ella Lingens, who was arrested by the national socialist regime in 1942 and deported to the concentration camp Auschwitz. As a physician in the infirmary, she was able to protect Jewish prisoners threatened with murder through false diagnoses. In 1944, she survived a "death march" to the concentration camp Dachau, where she witnessed the liberation by the American army. The memorial is arranged as a stone sculpture in the school's inner courtyard. In the foyer, a memorial display case has been set up, providing information about Ella Lingens' life. Exhibited materials include books by Ella Lingens, life documents, and a screen presentation about her biography. Additionally, a portrait of the honored individual is displayed in the auditorium.
