Inauguration of two ‘Stations of Remembrance’ in Alsergrund on 16 April 2026
The first opening of 2026 begins in the square in front of the Servite Church.
On behalf of the association, Roswitha Hammer welcomes relatives and friends from Austria and Australia.
The association is delighted that District Mayor Saya Ahmad is present once again and welcomes everyone with a speech.
The group walks together to the two locations.

Plaques were also installed at two further addresses; unfortunately, the initiators were unable to attend.
Schlickgasse 5
A memorial stone for Mordechai Isak Weissberg and Sara Weissberg, née Rothstein, initiated by their great-grandson Nils Whitmont.
Hörlgasse 4
For residents.
This plaque was made possible by Mr Reinhard Nibler.
He wished to commemorate his wife’s great-grandparents, Gustav Beran and Nathalie Beran, née Tandler. When research revealed that the correct address was Burgring 1 and that Hörlgasse 4 was merely the Berans’ deportation address, Mr Nibler spontaneously decided to have stones installed at both addresses.
