The memorial, dedicated to all those who died for the freedom of Austria, was built between 1946 and 1948 at the initiative and at the expense of the French occupying forces. Designed by Jean Pascaud, the white marble-clad gatehouse is crowned by a Tyrolean copper eagle designed by Emmerich Kerle. The lattices in the door openings show the coat of arms of the nine federal states arranged in a cross.
