Grete-und-Otto-Ascher-Park

The Vienna City Council Committee for Culture and Science named the green space at the intersection of Jedleseerstraße and Dunantgasse after the couple Grete and Otto Ascher on 2 October 2007. Grete Ascher was an office worker and was forced by the NS regime to emigrate. Otto Ascher was a carpenter and writer. After returning from emigration, both became socially active. Otto Ascher was a co-founder of the Integration Circle Floridsdorf and campaigned for the re-establishment of the Jewish cemetery in Ruthnergasse.
