Memorial Stone for Resistance Fighters in Siegendorf

At the war memorial site in Siegendorf, the central commemorative stone is dedicated to political victims during the NS regime. Specifically mentioned are Kaspar Hiller, Matthias Karlovits and Andreas Posteiner, who belonged to the local illegal communist party and produced printed materials and conducted collections for other members with similar views. In November 1942, the members were arrested. Kaspar Hiller and Mathias Karlovits were convicted in June 1943 by the People's Court in Vienna of preparing for high treason, sentenced to death and executed. The imprisoned Andreas Posteiner became a victim of the SS massacre in Stein an der Donau shortly before the end of the war.
