Aglassingerstraße

In the Salzburg district of Gnigl, the Aglassingerstraße has remembered the Social Democrat, trade unionist and railway worker Valentin Aglassinger since 1947, who was born on 14 February 1886 in St. Pantaleon, Upper Austria. Despite the fact that he was not a member of any specific resistance cell, he was still considered “politically tainted”; in addition, he repeatedly supported sick colleagues financially. On 15 March 1943, Aglassinger was arrested for “preparation of high treason”, but was acquitted on 19 January 1944. However, after the acquittal he was not released from custody, but was deported to the concentration camp Dachau on 19 April 1944, where he was murdered on 7 February 1945. In addition to the street name, a Stolperstein in the city of Salzburg also remembers Valentin Aglassinger.
