Father Marianist Jakob Gapp was executed on August 23, 1943, in the prison camp Berlin-Plötzensee, both inside and abroad, due to his sharp criticism of National Socialism. His beatification on November 24, 1996, as well as the activities of the archivist from Reutte, Richard Lipp, prompted Monsignore Ernst Pohler, dean of Breitenwang, to commission a memorial cross for Gapp. He discussed the inscription with Lipp. Following a festal Mass of the parishes of Reutte and Breitenwang on December 7, 1996, Dean Poh,ler consecrated the memorial cross with the inscription in the Rochuskapelle.
