Grave of Karel Prušnik at the Cemetery Köttmannsdorf/Kotmara vas

At the northern wall of the cemetery on Sonnenhangstraße in the municipality of Köttmansdorf/Kotmara vas is a memorial for Karel Prušnik-Gašper. He was born in 1910 in Leppen in the municipality of Bad Eisenkappel. During the NS regime, he was active in the resistance movement of the Carinthian Partisans. After the liberation in May 1945, he became the first chairman of the Association of the Carinthian Partisans/Zveza koroških partizanov. He held this position until his death in 1980. Today, a bust of the Slovenian sculptor Stojan Batič adorns his gravestone. The depiction of Prušnik-Gašper is one of the few figurative representations among Partisan memorials.
