At the initiative of Franz Wassermann (art project "Temporäres Denkmal"), Deputy Mayor Josef Müller advocated for the establishment of a memorial plaque. Since the shooters and some members of the municipal council opposed a location in the old cemetery, the memorial plaque was placed in the new cemetery near the urn graves. The local artist Hansjörg Egger from Neustift placed crosses on the plaque, symbolizing the number of victims, because the relatives had rejected the naming of the names of their murdered relatives. The inauguration was carried out by Pastor Kurt Udermann on All Saints' Day 2005. Due to weather-related damage, the wooden plaque was replaced by a metal plaque.
