Emil-Maurer-Platz

The Vienna Municipal Council Committee for Culture and Science named the traffic area between the roads at the Neubaugürtel on 26 November 2013 after the social democratic local politician and functionary of Jewish organizations Emil Maurer. Within the area, a park was established, which was also named after Emil Maurer. In May 2014, two commemorative plaques were erected, which also serve as memorials. One is located at the southern and one at the northern end of the park. They address the persecution of Emil Maurer both during the Austrofascism and during the National Socialism. They omit Maurer's deportation in 1938 to the Dachau concentration camp and afterwards to the Buchenwald concentration camp, thereby making the "release" in 1939 ambiguous.
