Memorial plaque for Josef Reischenböck

In the Salzburg Andräviertel, today a marble memorial plaque for the resistance fighter Josef Reischenböck is located on the façade of the Campus Mirabell Middle School. The memorial site, consecrated on 20 May 1999, is dedicated to the former teacher, who was recruited by the KPÖ in 1941 and who joined the fight against National Socialism. This case of resistance is particularly significant because the devout Catholic Reischenböck was a member of the Patriotic Front between 1933 and 1938. Due to his political stance, he was removed from his position as director after the "Anschluss," but was still able to continue working as a teacher. Because of his authorship of leaflets and his call for armed resistance against the Nazi regime, Reischenböck was arrested in March 1942 and sentenced to death in October. The execution took place on 7 May 1943.
