Steyr once housed the largest Waldensian community in Austria. The Waldensians were a reform movement within the Catholic Church. In 1397, 1000 suspects were arrested and 100 burned at the stake.
The memorial is also a memorial against hatred and intolerance.

The monument is intended to commemorate the once strong Waldensian community and its persecution. It is intended to be a memorial for tolerance and mutual understanding.
The Waldensians were a religious lay movement of the 13th/14th century. They were characterized by their way of life in poverty and criticized the wealth of the church.
Exactly 600 years ago - in 1397 - around 100 followers from Steyr were sentenced to death by fire or life imprisonment.
The sculptor Mag. Gerald Brandstötter designed the round sculpture. It depicts the burning of the Waldensians; the female figure symbolizes reconciliation and tolerance.
