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

The Aspangbahnhof Memorial features two 30-meter concrete rails that converge into a dark block, representing the path to destruction during World War II.

Between 1939 and 1942, the former Aspang railway station served as a departure point for 47,035 Austrian Jews who were forcibly transported to concentration camps.

The memorial, designed by artists Prinzgau and Podgorschek in 2017, displays precise numbers of deportees and survivors through subtle inscriptions on its surface.

Located in Leon Zelman Park at the intersection of Aspangstraße and Adolf-Blamauer-Gasse, the monument offers free access to visitors throughout the year.

Annual commemorative vigils take place at the memorial since 1994, predating its construction, to honor the 45,962 individuals who never returned from deportation.
