Hörsaal im Diözesanhaus Klagenfurt/Celovec named after Marzell Leeb

In the Diözesanhaus Klagenfurt, seven rooms were named after people who were murdered by the National Socialists due to their Christian beliefs in 2014. A plaque with the biography of the person after whom the room is named is attached in front of the rooms. Hörsaal 1 in the Diözesanhaus is named "Marzell Leeb". Marzell Leeb was born in 1893 in Gnesau and attended the seminary for priests in Klagenfurt. Until his retirement in 1936, he worked as a parish priest in various communities in Carinthia. In 1939, the retired parish priest was arrested and deported to the Dachau concentration camp. From there, Marzell Leeb was transferred to the Mauthausen concentration camp and murdered on 1 November 1940 by means of a lethal injection.
