Memorial Plaque at the War Memorial in Donnerskirchen

On the square in front of the Johanneskirche in Donnerskirchen is the local war memorial. Alongside the fallen and missing soldiers of the First and Second World Wars, the memorial also lists Martin Ackermann, Josef Reicharth and Fabian Udulutsch, who died in the concentration camp Mauthausen. In 2007, the memorial was renovated on the initiative of Rudolf Kleiner by the community of Donnerskirchen. At a gathering of the Volkssturm before the war memorial in early December 1944, Martin Ackermann, Josef Reicharth and Fabian Udulutsch expressed criticism regarding the continuation of the war. They were arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Mauthausen, where they met their death.
