Memorial for U.S. Air Force Personnel in Axamer Lizum

On June 9, 1944, an American airplane crashed on the Marchreisenspitze, and ten crew members were able to escape. Werner Singer, former mayor of Götzens, transported the chassis and other parts decades later with two Armenian refugees into the valley. In the summer of 2005, he erected a memorial at the foot of the Axamer Lizum. The chairman of the Tourism Association, Hubert Klingan, took over the financing; Günter Haller, one of his employees, carried out the work. The painter Geiler from Axams produced the commemorative plaque, whose text Werner Singer composed based on the documents of Jakob Mayer from Innsbruck. An official inauguration ceremony did not take place.
