Until its incorporation into the municipality of Villach in 1973, Landskron was an independent municipality. The municipal council arranged for the installation of a memorial plaque in memory of the victims of fascism from the municipality of Landskron on the southern outer wall of the Volkshaus Landskron. It specifically remembers six freedom fighters who died between 1934 and 1945. Four of them were murdered during National Socialism: Peter Melcher, as a socialist politician in the Dachau concentration camp, as well as Valentin Klementin, Heinrich Brunner, and Milan Jelič, who were executed on December 23, 1944 as resistance fighters of the so-called "Treffner Bande," a resistance group that operated in the neighboring valley.
