Description

The Cultural Commission of the District of Hietzing wanted to install a sign of remembrance on the site of the largely ignored memorial in the Eitelbergergasse for the synagogue which was destroyed in 1938. The plans of the sculptor Hans Kupelwieser, who had proposed a sheet of glass and the marking of the cornices of the synagogue in the size of the former synagogue, were realized.

in German:

Die Pläne des Bildhauers Hans Kupelwieser, der eine Glasplatte und eine Markierung des Frieses der Synagoge in den Ausmaßen der ehemaligen Synagoge vorgeschlagen hat, sollen verwirklicht werden.
