Anschlussdenkmal Oberschützen, Heritage monument in Oberschützen, Austria
The Anschlussdenkmal stands as a square columned courtyard structure measuring eight meters in height and twelve meters in width on a hill south of Oberschützen.
Built between 1938 and 1939, the monument initially commemorated the incorporation of Austria into Nazi Germany, featuring eight pylons with fire bowls and a golden eagle.
In 1997, the structure received a new purpose as a memorial against violence and racism, marking a significant shift in its meaning for the local community.
The municipality obtained a 30-year lease for the monument's parcels in 2016, leading to restoration works in collaboration with the Federal Monuments Office during 2018-2019.
The structure represents the largest remaining Nazi-era monument in Austria and serves as an educational site about the consequences of totalitarian regimes.
