At the beginning of May 1945, the Germans surrounded the Terbižar family house (Gaj number 53) early in the morning. They killed the partisan activists Zvonko and Vlada, who had married not long before. At that time, they also shot the owner Karl Dobaj. The victims were buried on Gaj, where a large partisan funeral had taken place a few days before liberation. About two hundred meters to the east of Terbižar was a underground bunker of the local committee of OF Maribor - left bank, which could accommodate nine people.
