The Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance
The museum was formed in 1963 by a group of individuals that were actually part of the resistance movement in Austria during the time of the Third Reich. The colleagues of these folks were part of the two thousand seven hundred individuals that were executed by the German Gestapo during the war. In a secondary way, the location also covers the efforts of the resistance movement during the Fascist rule of Austria.
There is also a part of the building which houses a research and archive wing for the place. This research facility still keeps an eye on zealous right wing political organizations in Germany. At the entrance to the museum is also a famous fountain built by Georg Donner. It is a classic example of Baroque art. Donner designed several others pieces in the area as well.
