A commemorative plaque installed by UNESCO in 2009 on the old border grid at "Rohr" Lustenau reminds people of the fate of those who tried to flee across the Old Rhine and the "Rohr" into Switzerland. For the Lustenau Wehrmacht deserter Josef Hagen, the escape through the "Rohr" ended fatally in 1944. He was shot by a Lustenau "Hilfszöllner" and died of his injuries in the Altstätten Hospital (Switzerland). The memorial site "Am Rohr" is part of the historical cycling route of the municipality of Lustenau.
