Memorial Plaque for Pastor Josef Lang in Pamhagen

On October 10, 2021, a memorial plaque for the former parish priest Josef Lang was unveiled in Pamhagen at the initiative of interested local residents, under the patronage of Franz Wegleitner. Parish priest Josef Lang worked in Pamhagen from 1920 to 1938, engaged in social and economic activities, and founded a Christian newspaper in which he vigorously opposed National Socialism. With the takeover of power by the National Socialists in March 1938, Josef Lang faced severe reprisals, so he fled to the neighboring Hungary. Political circumstances in Austria and Hungary prevented his return.
