The initiative for a commemorative inscription in memory of the resistance fighters of Wörgl originated from Simon Mayer, member of the municipal council of the Greens. In 1987/88, the Wörgl city council discussed the installation of a commemorative plaque with named individuals at the war memorial in the cemetery south of the parish church. The majority of the municipal council was against the plans of the Greens and the Social Democrats, as due to the research situation, not all resistance victims could be identified. Therefore, only the line «To the victims of the resistance against National Socialism» is faintly visible on the western side of the war memorial. In the municipal council of Wörgl, a commemorative meeting regarding the inscription took place on 10 April 1988.
