Never Forgotten / The workforce of the Austrian Brown-Boveri Werke

An communist factory cell operated within the Austrian Brown-Boveri Werken, led by the Werkschutzleiter Leopold Weinfurter. He organised the collection of contributions for the KPÖ as well as the production of leaflets, which were written by a clerk at the factory.

The plaque was attached to the new residential building erected on this site after the old company building of the Brown Boveri Werke was demolished (2016). March 2017
