Father Benedictine Josef (Order name Edmund) Pontiller was beheaded on 9.2.1945 in Munich-Stadelheim due to his sharp criticism of the NS regime. His nephew Michael Pontiller initiated the installation of a memorial plaque in the crypt of the Dölsach parish church. The mayor of Dölsach, Josef Brunner, took up the idea. On 23.5.1987, Bishop Reinhold Stecher blessed the plaque during a parish confirmation ceremony in the presence of Pontiller's relatives and the abbot of Niederaltaich.
