Father Marianist Jakob Gapp was executed on August 23, 1943, in the prison camp Berlin-Plötzensee due to his sharp criticism of National Socialism. His beatification took place in November 1996. The market community of Wattens donated a bronze plaque for the 100th birthday of Gapp and placed it at the building where his birth house once stood. Father Josef Süß consecrated it on July 26, 1997, during the opening ceremony of Gapp's memorial in the Laurentius Church.
