Memorial Plaque for Otto Neururer in the Kaplaneikirche Piller

Pastor Otto Neururer, born in the district of Piller in the municipality of Fließ, was murdered on May 30, 1940, in the Buchenwald concentration camp and was canonized in 1996. On April 28, 1996, Bishop Reinhold Stecher unveiled a bronze memorial plaque in the church in Piller, funded by the Bundesbrüder of the Catholic Austrian University Association Unitas from Austria and Germany: on the one hand, in commemoration of the canonization of Otto Neururer, and on the other hand, as a thank you to Bundesbruder Magnus Kaminski, member of Unitas Norica-Greifenstein in Innsbruck. Kaminski was a pastoral caregiver in Piller from 1970 to 2002 and a driving force behind the initiation of the canonization process for Neururer and the erection of the memorial plaque.
