Mahnmal Aspangbahnhof

Mahnmal Aspangbahnhof, Cautionary monument in Landstraße district, Vienna, Austria.

Mahnmal Aspangbahnhof is a memorial in Leon-Zelman-Park in Vienna-Landstraße, designed by the artist duo PRINZpod (Brigitte Prinzgau and Wolfgang Podgorschek) and opened in September 2017. It consists of two concrete rails, each about 30 meters long, that converge on a dark block. Inscriptions set directly into the memorial read "1073 Überlebende" at the start of the left rail and "47035 Deportierte" by the right rail; a concrete block at the front bears the words "Aspangbahnhof 47035 Deportierte, 47 Transporte 1939 und 1941/42, 1073 Überlebende".

The former Aspang railway station served as a departure point between 1939 and 1942 for thousands of Austrian Jews transported to concentration camps. This dark past led later to the creation of a memorial at this location.

The memorial's inscriptions are deliberately inconspicuous: "1073 Überlebende" at the start of the left rail and "47035 Deportierte" by the right one, with a concrete block reading "Aspangbahnhof 47035 Deportierte, 47 Transporte 1939 und 1941/42, 1073 Überlebende". Panels beside it list each transport's date, number of victims and destination.

The memorial is located in Leon Zelman Park at the intersection of Aspangstraße and Adolf-Blamauer-Gasse and is freely accessible to visitors year-round. The site is easy to reach and offers a quiet space for reflection.

The annual vigil on 9 November, the anniversary of the 1938 November pogroms, has been held here by the Initiative Aspangbahnhof since 1994. The memorial itself followed much later: the City of Vienna funded it with about 330,000 euros, and it opened in September 2017, 75 years after the last deportation train left this station.
