On 5 April 2019, the priest of Eben blessed, within the context of the Florian feast, the renovated and redesigned war memorial from 1921 at its new location in front of the storage chapel near the Notburga church. The community, under the leadership of chronicler Johann Walser, erected a memorial stone for the civilian victims of the war in the immediate vicinity of the war memorial. The Jehovah's Witness Karl Weiroster, murdered in the Mauthausen concentration camp, was removed from the war memorial and placed on the new memorial stone. The left-wing resistance fighter Hans Vogl, born in Eben by the Achensee, was beheaded in Munich-Stadelheim, Pankraz Braunhofer spent two years in prison because he tore down a Hitler picture, and the 12-year-old Josef Ortner died in 1947 when he played with a firearm from the war. The memorial stone and the inscription panels of the memorial are made of bright Kramsacher marble, in order to emphasize the unity of the two memorials.
