Memorial plaque in Innerberg "Religious Resistance"

During the National Socialism, religious customs and associations, school prayers and processions were forbidden. The priest Josef Plangger, active in Innerberg, was arrested by the National Socialists because he did not allow the Gestapo to dictate the liturgical calendar. After a three-week stay in prison and being transferred to Gaschurn, Plangger was relocated to East Tyrol, where he came into conflict with the Hitler Youth. Once again, Plangger was taken into custody and subsequently sent to the concentration camps Buchenwald and Dachau. Only shortly before the end of the war was he released from custody. Since 2022, a memorial plaque in Innerberg commemorates Josef Plangger, which was erected as part of the project "15 Places – 15 Stories."
