History:
Between 1977 and 1979, the sculptor Walfried Huber from Bad Pirawarth created this monument, commissioned by the family of Dr. Gerhard and Elsa Pranka from Gaweinstal, which illustrates the idea of the solidarity of peoples. At the time of its erection, the neighboring states of Czechoslovakia and Hungary were still separated from Austria by the impermeable Iron Curtain. Even if humans set arbitrary borders, these can easily be overcome by the eyes and mind.

Description:
The Schricker Berg viewing point is the highest elevation in the area. From there, one can see as far as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. Three interlocking stone blocks made of gray Waldviertel marble, the middle one resembling a finger pointing to the solidarity of peoples, stand as a memorial stone at this vantage point.
The monument is 4.20 m high and 1.90 m wide.
A plaque placed next to the monument explains the motivations of Dr. Pranka's family for having this memorial erected here.
