奥地利首都维也纳计划建立一座纪念外籍劳工的纪念碑，福利组织维也纳人民援助会（VHW）周二在一份声明中宣布。
A monument honoring guest workers is planned in the Austrian capital, Vienna, welfare organization Volkshilfe Wien (VHW) announced in a statement Tuesday.
VHW表示，劳工移民在奥地利的发展中发挥了决定性作用，该纪念碑旨在让这段历史在公共空间中拥有一个永久的位置。
VHW said labor migration has played a decisive role in Austria’s development and that the monument is intended to give this history a permanent place in public space.
据VHW称，实施工作的进一步步骤正在进行中。维也纳市文化事务议员维罗妮卡·考普-哈斯勒宣布，将通过维也纳公共空间艺术协会（KOR）发起公开征集提案。
According to VHW, further steps toward implementation are underway. Vienna’s City Councilor for Culture Veronica Kaup-Hasler announced plans for a public call for proposals through KOR Kunst im offentlichen Raum Wien (Art in Public Spaces in Vienna).
该纪念碑主要通过捐款融资。考普-哈斯勒表示，预计成本最高为25万欧元。
The monument is to be financed primarily through donations. Kaup-Hasler said it is expected to cost a maximum of €250,000.
该项目还旨在促进对在维也纳生活和工作的人们历史的学术研究，研究成果将在该市法沃里滕区的一个场所展示。
The project is also intended to facilitate scholarly research into the history of people who lived and worked in Vienna, with the findings to be presented in a space in the city’s Favoriten district.
纪念碑计划建在如今的维也纳中央火车站附近，靠近原南站旧址。20世纪60年代和70年代，来自当时的南斯拉夫和土耳其的外籍劳工就是在那里抵达维也纳的。
The monument is planned near what is now Vienna’s main train station, Hauptbahnhof, close to the site of the former Sudbahnhof. It was there that guest workers from what was then Yugoslavia and Türkiye arrived in Vienna in the 1960s and 1970s.
“谈论奥地利的繁荣，就必须谈论那些帮助建设繁荣的人们。几代人来到这里工作、建立生活，”VHW执行董事塔尼娅·韦赫利在声明中说。
“Anyone who talks about Austria’s prosperity must also talk about the people who helped build it. For generations, people have come here to work and build a life for themselves,” Tanja Wehsely, executive director of VHW, said in the statement.
“他们的工作和人生故事在公共领域仍然不够可见。纪念碑旨在给予他们在我们集体记忆中应有的位置，”她补充道。
“Their work and their life stories are still not visible enough in the public sphere. The monument is intended to give them the place in our collective memory that they deserve,” she added.
根据奥地利劳工协会的数据，1961年至1974年间，根据招募协议抵达的外籍劳工约为26.5万人。其中约20万人来自前南斯拉夫，占所有外籍劳工的约80%。约3万人来自土耳其。与安卡拉的招募协议于1964年签署。来自西班牙的不足1000人。
According to the Austrian Chamber of Labor, approximately 265,000 guest workers arrived between 1961 and 1974 under recruitment agreements. About 200,000 came from the former Yugoslavia, accounting for around 80% of all guest workers. About 30,000 came from Türkiye. The recruitment agreement with Ankara was signed in 1964. Fewer than 1,000 came from Spain.
