Memorial stone for resistance fighters from Maria Lankowitz: Julius Gellinek (1901–1942) and Ferdinand Petanjek (1905–1945) were actively involved in the re-establishment of the KPÖ or the Red Aid in the Voitsberg district in 1940. Gellinek was sentenced to death by the People's Court for "preparation of high treason" and was executed in Vienna on 7 October 1942. Petanjek was sentenced to seven years in prison and died in the bombing of the Karlau prison in Graz on 19 February 1945. The Franciscan Eduard (Angelus) Steinwender (1895–1945) was a member of the "Antifascist Freedom Movement of Austria". He was arrested on 6 July 1943 and later sentenced to death by the People's Court for "preparation of high treason". After a foot march of condemned prisoners from Vienna to Stein an der Donau on 15 April 1945, he was shot together with 43 other condemned prisoners.
