 auslandsdienst.at - Verein für Dienste im Ausland nach § 12b ZivildienstgesetzWelcome!

Austrian Association for Service Abroad according to §12b Zivildienstgesetz is a non-profit initiative, founded 1998 by Dr. Andreas Maislinger, that provides positions for Austrian Zivildieners all over the world. The regular nine months lasting Zivildienst is substituted by a 12-months work at one of our partner organisations. There are great variations in requirements.
Service Abroad (Auslandsdienst) is an institution of the Republic of Austria which provides young male Austrians with an alternative to the compulsory military service. It is mainly focused on social work.

The Austrian Association for Service Abroad is now aiming at offering Zivildienst-substitutes in three main-areas:
Gedenkdienst workers are on duty in Holocaust-Memorial-Institutions around the world.*
An innovation, which is applied for annually. Social work worldwide.
Working for peace.

Since October 1998 the Austrian Association for Service Abroad works together with one of the most important Holocaust Remembrance Institutions of Great Britain - the Institute of Contemporary History and Wiener Library in London. There, two young Austrian Gedenkdienst workers assist the staff in the following fields:

  • cataloging of unpublished documents
  • conservation of fragile material and photos
  • assistance for organisation of academic events
  • assistance in the Journal of Holocaust education
  • participation and assistance in conferences and lectures

The association is also glad to welcome another important partner organization in London in the near future:

The National Yad Vashem Charitable Trust.

*The term "Gedenkdienst" was invented by Dr. Maislinger who founded an organisation with the same name in 1992.

Apart from "Gedenkdienst", the association also cooperates with its first partner organization in the field of social work in the UK. In future, Austrian "Sozialdiener" will assist the teachers of the Royal London Society for the Blind in their work with blind pupils.
