Maria Föger was transported from the Nassereith Welfare Home to the Heil- und Pflegeanstalt Hall, and from there on 20 March 1940 she was deported to the Tötungsanstalt Hartheim near Linz. In December 2004, the town council dealt with an inquiry from the artist Franz Wassermann, who drew attention to Föger and proposed the naming of a street after her. In 2011, the local historian Hubert Stecher reminded the town council of the initiative. Following a unanimous decision, the municipality installed a memorial plaque on the south side of the church. It was inaugurated during the Mass on Allerheiligen in 2011.
