Maria Peskoller was executed because she supported Partisan groups, escaped forced laborers, deserters, and draft dodgers in the Villach area. The Gestapo hanged the Polish forced laborer Marian Binczyk publicly in Göriach for intimate contact with a local resident. Upon the renovation of the memorial niche for Father Edmund Pontiller in the parish church crypt, the church council of Dölsach arranged for a memorial plaque for Maria Peskoller and Marian Binczyk to be placed near the memorial marker for Pontiller. After the memorial mass for the murdered clergyman on February 8, 2015, Bishop Manfred Scheuer and Priest Bruno Decristoforo unveiled the memorial plaque.
