Memorial plaque for the railway workers' resistance at the station St. Veit/Glan

The memorial plaque commemorates seven railway workers who were executed due to their resistance against the Nazi regime. Their sabotage acts against trains, such as cutting brake hoses or filling sand into axle bearings, were betrayed, and the men were arrested by the Gestapo in the autumn of 1941. In a court trial in Klagenfurt in April 1942, they were sentenced to death for undermining military strength, preparation for high treason, aiding the enemy, and listening to enemy broadcasts. Two months later, on June 30, 1942, they were executed at the Provincial Court in Vienna.
