Memorial Stone for Resistance Fighters in Stegersbach

In November 1988, the solemn unveiling of a memorial stone for the resistance fighters Julius Hobel, Alois Pelzmann and Anton Roth, who were murdered under the National Socialist regime, took place in Stegersbach. The activists were members of a communist resistance group against the Nazi dictatorship. When the group was uncovered in 1942, Pelzmann and Roth were sentenced to death and executed; Hobel died as a result of the consequences of his imprisonment.
