Memorial Plate in Memory of the Transfer Negotiations at the Saalach (Lieferinger Cultural Walking Trail)

A station of the Lieferinger Cultural Walking Trail passes by a plaque erected in May 2005, which informs about the transfer negotiations between the Salzburg NS leadership and US troops. Although the Wehrmacht had been ordered to defend the city of Salzburg with all means, the US army encountered no resistance anymore. In the early morning hours of the 4th of May 1945, both parties finally met on the railway bridge over the Saalach to hold negotiations. The transfer took place finally on the same day. On the 60th anniversary, the plaque was unveiled. In 2021, the city council of Salzburg financed a renewal.
