A memorial plaque in memory of Andrej Permož is attached directly on the former residence of Andrej Permož, located right on the main road towards Ferlach.

From 1943 onwards, he was involved in the establishment of the Resistance movement Osvobodilna Fronta (OF) in the Rosental, which led to his arrest in June 1944. Andrej Permož was deported to the Dachau concentration camp, from there to the Natzweiler concentration camp, and had to perform forced labor in various subcamps. The exact circumstances of his death are unknown.
