Refugee Route of Andau

In 1992, the association "Society for International Understanding - the Bridge of Andau" was founded. From 1992 to 1996, international artist symposia took place under the theme "Flight and Displacement." Artists and personalities from various countries addressed these current issues and created an incomparable monument to the historical events with their artworks. A total of 90 sculptures were created in an impressive open-air gallery along the "escape route" on both the Austrian and Hungarian sides. In 1996, the impressive open-air gallery was connected by a new "Bridge of Andau" in a unique cross-border action by the Austrian Army and the Hungarian military.
