Here, on 13 January 1945, partisan and intelligence officer Jožef Čeh-Polde, a member of the 1st Prekmurje Partisan Detachment, fell in combat with Hungarian fascists. In the evening of that day, he was on the way from Lipovec to Beltinci. With him was activist Slava Mihelič. Near the place where the monument now stands, they encountered an enemy patrol. They wanted to retreat, but retreat was not possible. Hungarian soldiers severely wounded Jožef Čeh. They took him to the Sobotel hospital, where he died three days later. Slava was caught during the retreat and sent to Sobotel prison.

The monument is designed as a tomb with four stone pillars and an inscription on a vertical plaque. It was erected by the local organization ZZB NOV Beltinci, and it was unveiled on 17 October 1964, on the municipal holiday of Murska Sobota.
