After the Anschluss in 1938, the charitable organisations of the Protestant Church in Austria were also subject to the restrictions of the National Socialist authorities. The work of the Evangelical Association of the Inner Mission in Gallneukirchen was successively restricted. Only the care of the "non-educable" disabled and sick was left as an area of responsibility for the organisation. In January 1941, 64 patients were collected from the deaconry and taken to Hartheim in buses where they were murdered. The memorial, a polished cube made of Gebharts syenite, was designed by Peter Paskiewicz for the victims of euthanasia in 1991.
