The Jesuits Alois Grimm, Johann Steinmayr, and Johann Schwingshackl were sentenced to death for their anti-regime stance. Grimm and Steinmayr were executed; Schwingshackl died in prison before his planned beheading. On the initiative of Jesuit Father Johann Reiter, the rector of the Innsbruck Jesuit College, Father Müllner, dedicated a memorial plaque for the three Jesuits murdered during the NS period in the first Altarnische of the Jesuit church, to the left of the main portal, on June 13, 1985. The design was by Oswald Haller from Innsbruck; the execution was carried out by the Haller stonemason Albert Reich. An identical memorial plaque hangs in the Jesuit/University Church in Vienna.
