Prior to the founding of the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), a different establishment existed in the compound. A neurological and psychiatric hospital of the province of Lower Austria operated here for approximately 120 years.
Between 1939 and 1945, unforgivable medical crimes were committed by Nazi doctors in this hospital. Several thousand patients of all ages were killed here, either intentionally or due to negligence; others were transferred to extermination centers. This memorial is dedicated to these victims.
The memorial is located in ISTA’s park. It is open to the public at all times.
