> A new memorial designed by Azra Akšamija honors 2,848 patients murdered during the Nazi regime at the Amstetten district clinic.

A new memorial site featuring 2,848 metal nameplates has been established at the **Landesklinikum Mauer** in the Amstetten district. Designed by artist [Azra Akšamija](<https://austriareport.com/entity/azra-aksamija-q4832884>), the site honors patients murdered during the Nazi regime or transported to killing centers.

The memorial consists of two walls bordering a meadow where hundreds of victims are buried. These metal plates vibrate and produce sound from highway traffic noise. Pavilion 18 now serves as a place of learning, utilizing various contemporary testimonies.

Governor [Johanna Mikl-Leitner](<https://austriareport.com/entity/johanna-mikl-leitner-q87130>) and Medical Director **Christian Korbel** attended the opening, where historian Stephan Roth spoke. This site commemorates victims like **Maria Bauer**, marking the professional processing of these WWII events that began in the 2010s.
