The shoemaker Franz Riegler (1915–1942) reorganized immediately after the „Anschluss“ 1938 together with Johann Freidorfer the Communist Youth Association in Mürzzuschlag. Riegler was therefore arrested on 27 June 1939 and sentenced by the Vienna Regional Court to two years and four months in prison for „preparation of high treason“. After serving his sentence, Riegler was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he was murdered on 7 September 1942.
