Alternative civilian service
Zivildienst
In 1984 the Mauthausen Memorial was officially recognised as an institution offering places for alternative civilian service (Zivildienst). Since then it has been offering Austrian citizens of military service age the option to carry out their civilian service at this institution of the Republic of Austria and, over the years, several hundred young men have taken advantage of this opportunity. Civilian service can be carried out at the Mauthausen Memorial or in the Archive of the Mauthausen Memorial in Vienna.
