Trümmerfrauen Memorial, Post-war memorial site in Vienna, Austria
The limestone monument depicts women engaged in clearing debris, symbolizing their role in rebuilding Vienna after World War II.
During post-war reconstruction, women between ages 15 and 50 worked nine-hour days clearing 500 million cubic meters of rubble throughout German-speaking territories.
The memorial represents the transformation of gender roles as women took responsibility for urban reconstruction while men were absent due to war casualties.
The monument includes information plaques explaining the historical context and contribution of women who cleared debris for 72 Reichspfennige per hour.
This memorial stands at the base of a hill formed by the accumulation of wartime rubble, marking the physical traces of World War II destruction.
