Emil-Maurer-Park

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