Memorial plaque - Bleier extended family

On 24 January 2023, a commemorative plaque was unveiled on the façade of the house at Hohe Warte 40. It commemorates the Bleier family, the former owners. After the takeover by the National Socialists in March 1938, the ownership was fundamentally changed through expropriation and "Arisierung." The NS regime persecuted the family for antisemitic reasons. The commemorative plaque specifically names Arthur Bleier and Leonie Fischer (née Bleier). Arthur Fischer was deported to Theresienstadt on 13 August 1942 and was liberated in 1945. Leonie Fischer was deported to Riga on 26 January 1942 and was murdered in the Holocaust. Today, the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics uses the house. On the commemorative plaque, there is a QR code as a link to detailed information about the history of the house and the property.
