In this house, etched in stone, lies a story. A story of a man named Edmund Finke. The Edmund Finke Plaque marks the residence of this prolific Austrian writer from 1948 until his death in 1968. Many remember Finke for his captivating crime novels, often set in far-off lands. But this plaque, tucked away on an unassuming street, reveals another layer of the man. It speaks of his connection to the Josef Weinheber-Gesellschaft, a society dedicated to preserving the legacy of another Austrian writer, Josef Weinheber. Finke, a friend and admirer of Weinheber, dedicated himself to keeping his memory alive. He even penned a biography about the controversial poet, shedding light on both the man and his work. As you stand before this unassuming plaque, remember Edmund Finke. He was not only a master storyteller but also a champion of literature and a loyal friend.
