Memorial plaque for August Gerster (1877–1945), who during a train journey in July 1944 expressed to a fellow traveler that the salvation for Germany was not to be expected from National Socialism, but from practiced Christianity. He was subsequently denounced and sentenced to three years in prison for "undermining the defense capability." He died on 15 March 1945 in the prison in Bayreuth.
