Memorial Plaque for Franz Reinisch and Dominikus Dietrich in the Leopoldenhaus Innsbruck

Father Franz Reinisch, a Pallottiner, 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. Brother Josef Ferdinand Dietrich of the Premonstratensian Order, with the religious name Dominikus, was imprisoned by the NS regime three times, each time for several days. Peter Pichler, a member of the Catholic Austrian University Association Leopoldina, proposed the installation of a memorial plaque in honor of the members Reinisch and Dietrich in the foyer of the Leopold House in Innsbruck. During the foundation festival on 23.5.2003, the association's spiritual leader, Jesuit Father Franz Dangl, consecrated the memorial plaque.
