Memorial Plaque for Edmund Pontiller in the Chapel of the Parish Church Dölsach

Father Benedictine Joseph (Order name Edmund) Pontiller was beheaded on 9.2.1945 in Munich-Stadelheim due to his sharp criticism of the NS regime. Part of his remains was transferred in 1987 from the Monks' Crypt of the Abbey of Niederaltaich to Dölsach. They are located in the Father Edmund Pontiller Memorial Site in the Grüftl under the south wall of the Dölsach parish church, kept in a metal casket, preserved in a marble sarcophagus. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the death of Father Edmund Pontiller in 2015, Anda Blasl renovated the niche with the memorial plaque and the small sarcophagus with the voluntary support of the k.u.k. Artillery Regiment under commander Edi Moser. Bishop Manfred Scheuer and Priest Bruno Decristoforo consecrated it on 8.2.2015.
