Ernst Volkmann (1902-1941) settled in Bregenz in 1924 as a guitar maker and church bell-ringer. He repeatedly did not respond to the call-up for military service, eventually being conscripted in 1941, but he refused the Führer oath, as his religious convictions were not compatible with National Socialism. He was sentenced to death by the Reich War Court in Berlin and was executed on 9.8.1941 in Brandenburg-Görden. The place is part of a memorial trail that has been commemorating resistance and persecution in Bregenz since 2002 with several memorial plaques.
