Memorial Plaque for Franz Reinisch in the Church Cemetery Wilten Innsbruck

Father Franz Reinisch was beheaded on 21.8.1942 in the Brandenburg-Görden prison in Berlin, because he had refused to take an oath to Hitler after being conscripted. The father of Franz Reinisch probably soon after the end of the war ordered a white marble tablet for his son's grave. The family's grave tablet gives the impression that the father and his parents are also buried here. However, Franz Reinisch's urn is located in Berlin-Brandenburg. The graves of his parents were dissolved due to renovation measures for the Innsbruck 1964 Olympics. The bronze relief with the image of Father Franz Reinisch and the marble grave tablet were installed after 1964 on the inner wall of the cemetery near the Wiltener Basilica as a memorial tablet.
