Monument for Josef Anton King in the Kreuzgarten of the Paulinums Schwaz

At the suggestion of students from the Bischöfliches Gymnasium Paulinum in Schwaz, the association of the Old Pauliners erected a sculpture in honor of Josef Anton King, who was executed in 1945 in the jurisdiction of the Mauthausen concentration camp. He had translated leaflets for a Russian resistance group in the Ostworker camp of the Dornier company in Lindau-Rickenbach, which called for sabotage actions. The Absam artist Hilde Chistè designed a two-part sculpture with a stele made of ESG glass with ceramic melt colors. On a lying plate, there is a photo and biography of King. The Innsbruck architectural office Illmer & Tautschnig took over the planning, while the glass painting workshop Peters in Paderborn carried out the technical execution. Bishop Manfred Scheuer consecrated the memorial on 25.10.2007 during a large ceremony.
