In 2016, the retired state forest director Hubert Kammerlander got in touch with the owner of the alpine pasture, Peter Riedmann. They chose a site at the forest edge above the Praa-Alm for the erection of a memorial. The ensemble replaced the previous memorials for Walter Caldonazzi and commemorated three other foresters murdered during the Nazi era: Viktor Czerny, Ferdinand Eberharter, and Karl Mayr. The memorial site on the Praa-Alm consists of a large wooden cross, a stone with a memorial plaque, and a stainless steel urn with four panels on which the life stories of the victims appear with photographs. The costs were covered by the Tiroler Forstverein and the Catholic Austrian University Associations Amelungia Vienna and Cimbria Kufstein. On August 27, 2017, pastor Paul Rauchenschwandtner blessed the memorial.
