In Linz, a short street has been named after Ludwig Wittgenstein since 2023 (formerly Porscheweg). Wittgenstein attended the Realschule in Steingasse from 1903 to 1906 and lived in Waltherstraße during that time. Commemorative plaques at both locations mark his years in Linz. Another plaque can be found at the school’s present-day site in Fadingerstraße.

In Vienna, Wittgensteinstraße is named after Hermann Christian Wittgenstein, his grandfather. In Trattenbach, there is a hiking trail known by the same name, Wittgensteinweg.
